Details: Begin this heel by increasing (the gusset), then following something that is similar to a heel turn, but it is done on half the stitches without a heel flap. Once you’ve returned to the original number of cast-on stitches, continue to in stockinette to the toe.

Advantages: There is no heel flap to be worked, or stitches to be picked up. This isn’t a typical heel that I’ve seen, so it may be difficult to figure out the number of stitches to knit where based upon the instructions.

Disadvantages:This isn’t a typical heel that I’ve seen, so it may be difficult to figure out the number of stitches to knit where based upon the instructions. It also doesn’t seem to hug the heel quite as well as heel flap varieties do.

    Hi,

    I tried to click on your NO PICKUP GUSSET HEEL but it was locked.

    Is there any way for me to access that?

    Thanks,

    John
