Help! I can't do this short row heel
Hi all,

I'm knitting this sock and I've gotten to the heel and I'm completely lost. This is the first time I'm doing the short row heel. I'm following the instructions as best as I understand it but I have gaps and holes everywhere. The 1st four lines of instructions are clear but after that it gets a little fuzzy. Can anyone help? Thank you

This is the pattern:

Keep repeating lines 3 and 4 of the heel instructions. You're going to have holes and yarn overs in the pattern. When you get to 10sts between the stitch-yo pairs, you'll start incorporating the st and yo with a k2tog. I think you should keep going and see what the heel looks like after lines 10 and 11 in the instructions.

I've seen a lot of how to videos on wrap and turn. But this is the only one that made sense to me. Liat is a great teacher.

This is my favorite short row heel demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu5YAKsAEpY.

I'm glad you brought this up, because I'm getting ready to turn a heel myself and you reminded me to rewatch it. I forget from sock heel to sock heel how to turn them.

Good luck and I hope you got your heel turned!
