Thought the instructions were really bad and I am quite an experienced knitter. Now I have made 7 pairs one after the other just to master the round heel and remember it for future knitting....

I don't have the book so I can't really look at it and tell you. Every where I look the top down "round heel" is also called a "french heel" This website has some simple instructions on doing a round heel: [http://www.socknitters.com/Tips/heels_by_the_number.htm](http://www.socknitters.com/Tips/heels_by_the_number.htm) I don't know how familiar you are with heel flap heels, but it's basically in that style of heel. Let me know if that doesn't clarify things for you.</p> It’s possible that the round heel I did isn’t the same one as in Kaffe Fassett’s book.
