This pattern is written for the magic loop method but you can easily adjust it for the double pointed needles as well.<\/p>\n
Gusset increases<\/h2>\n
You should now have a total of 56<\/span> sts divided evenly on two needles (28<\/span> sts on each needle). From toe up knit until your work measures 4<\/span>” [10<\/span> cm] less than desired length. Start the gusset increases.<\/p>\nRound 1<\/h4>\n\n- Needle 1:<\/strong> k all<\/li>\n
- Needle 2:<\/strong> m1l, k to end, m1r<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Round 2<\/h4>\n\n- Needle 1:<\/strong> k all<\/li>\n
- Needle 2:<\/strong> k all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Repeat rounds 1 and 2 11<\/span> more times. 24<\/span> sts increased on Needle 2<\/em>.<\/p>\nHeel<\/h2>\n
You have now 12<\/span> gusset sts on each end of needle 2 and 30<\/span> sts in the middle. A total of 54<\/span> sts on Needle 2<\/em>. While working the short rows the gusset sts are on hold.<\/p>\nSlip stitch pattern<\/h4>\n
Slip stitch repeat is worked flat over two sts.<\/p>\n
\n- Right side rows:<\/strong> k1, sl1 wyib<\/li>\n
- Wrong side rows:<\/strong> p all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Heel turn with short rows<\/h3>\n
K until you are at the beginning of Needle 2<\/em>. The following rows 1-4 are worked on Needle 2<\/em> only. <\/p>\n\n- Row 1 (RS): <\/strong>k 12<\/span> sts, work in slip stitch pattern until 12<\/span> sts remain, k2, turn.<\/li>\n
- Row 2 (WS):<\/strong> mds, p until 12<\/span> sts remain, turn.<\/li>\n
- Row 3 (RS):<\/strong> mds, k2, work in slip stitch pattern to 2sts before double st (adjust sts so that they match the first row), k2, turn.<\/li>\n
- Row 4 (WS):<\/strong> mds, p to double st, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Repeat rows 3 & 4 until the last row you worked was mds, k2, work 10<\/span> sts in slip stitch pattern, k2. Do not turn your work.<\/p>\nOn Needle 2<\/em> you should now have 12<\/span> gusset sts, 10<\/span> double sts, 10<\/span> sts on the right needle and 10<\/span> double sts and 12<\/span> gusset sts on the left needle.<\/p>\nReinforced heel flap<\/h3>\n
K to last double sts, ssk, turn (k together through the back loop the last double sts with the first gusset st on hold.) Please note that double sts are knitted and purled through both legs.<\/p>\n
\n- Row 1 (WS):<\/strong> sl1, p to last double st, p2tog, turn<\/li>\n
- Row 2 (RS):<\/strong> sl1, k1, work in slip stitch pattern to 1 st before slipped st, k1, ssk, turn<\/li>\n
- Row 3 (WS): <\/strong>sl1, p to slipped st, p2tog, turn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Repeat rows 2 & 3 until you have one gusset st left at each end of the Needle 2<\/em> (a total of 28<\/span> sts left on Needle 2<\/em>).<\/p>\nRound 3 (RS)<\/strong>: sl1, k1, work in slip stitch pattern to 1st before slipped st, k1, ssk, continue working in the round and k all sts on Needle 1<\/em>, k2tog the first two sts on Needle 2, k to end of Needle 2<\/em>.<\/p>\nYou should have a total of 56<\/span> sts (28<\/span> sts on each needle).<\/p>\nThe heel is now finished. Continue working in the round. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
With the help of this interactive pattern you can easily make a reinforced flap and gusset heel for your toe up sock. This recipe works for any yarn and gauge and it requires no picking up of stitches. All you need to know is the total amount of stitches you have per sock and your row gauge and you’ll get detailed instructions how to make the heel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2678,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,307],"tags":[],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1-768x768.jpg",768,768,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1-1024x1024.jpg",800,800,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"xl":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"xxl":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"xxxl":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"xxxxl":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"xxxxxl":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",1212,1212,false],"wcpr-photo-reviews":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",500,500,false],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",300,300,false],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",600,600,false],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reinforced-heel-for-toe-up-socks-1.jpg",100,100,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"knitgrammer","author_link":"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/blog\/author\/admin\/"},"uagb_comment_info":38,"uagb_excerpt":"With the help of this interactive pattern you can easily make a reinforced flap and gusset heel for your toe up sock.
