A Variety of Two Heel Flap Fabrics, stranded, checkerboard and eye of partridge

[@willbaren]

I loved how you fixed a problem in real time. It was a real lesson to add to the wonderful colour effects you showed. Thanks so much.

I always enjoy watching your videos, they are SO THOROUGH!!!! The guidance with regard of how different stitches can shape up differently is extremely helpful ~ THANK YOU!!! Seeing how this heel stitch comes out a bit thicker and smaller than stockinette is GREAT information to know :)

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome, NC! Thank you for your very kind feedback, I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@knitwise24.7]

I've never really been a big fan of socks with heel flaps but this series definitely makes me want to try all the patterns demonstrated in your videos. Thank you always, Suzanne!

[@SuzanneBryan]

That's so awesome, Mariko, I appreciate your feedback!

[@alisonferry5989]

Hi Suzanne. I’m a new knitter just completing my first vanilla pair I so excited to try these new stitches and attempt colour work. Your videos make me think I may be able to do it. Thank you. They are so clear and you always answer questions I am forming.

Hi Suzanne! Loved the video! Such interesting techniques! Thanks for sharing!🤗

[@SuzanneBryan]

Glad you enjoyed it, Thea!

I laid my dad and my cousin to rest this past week. 2 funerals in one week. This, my friend, was a joy and a breath of fresh air. Many thanks Suzanne.💞

Very interesting and we'll explained video. I'm trying to vary my sock heel techniques and particularly interested in two colour heels so you have very comprehensively covered this and I'm going to give it a go in the socks currently under construction. Not finally decide on which technique but that decision can wait until I get there!! Thank you. 😍

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome, Claire! I'm sure your socks will be lovely! ❤️

[@sheryltisdale]

Thank you Suzanne, will use this with my sock heels, great video!

[@SuzanneBryan]

You’re very welcome, Sheryl 😊

[@nblmqst1167]

Once again, thank you for a great tutorial!!!

[@SuzanneBryan]

My pleasure, thanks so much for watching!

[@jand7782]

Another VERY helpful video, Suzanne. I always learn something new. I'm actually new to sock knitting, so these are coming at just the right time. I appreciate the explanations of the hows and whys as well as the differences and options. Thank you, thank you.

[@SuzanneBryan]

This is so wonderful to hear, Jan, thank you! ❤️

[@helenwelsh99]

Thank you for another very clear tutorial. I have been wondering about continuing the colorwork from the leg onto the heel flap lately and now feel equipped to try this out! Really appreciate the comparison of fabrics at the end too. Thanks again!

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful Helen, I'm sure your socks will be lovely! ❤️

[@sylviaearl9543]

Thanks, Suzanne. I’ve been struggling with trapping Color B on the edges. You showed us the method in BC 4, but this video will be easier to find. I so appreciate your videos.

[@SuzanneBryan]

Wonderful, Sylvia! ❤️

[@lucythomas3782]

Thank you. I enjoy your teaching. This is the knowledge i need.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome, Lucy!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Nice demo ! I always appreciate the precision of your explanations, like how to trap the yarn at the edge, it helps a lot. Thanks !

[@SuzanneBryan]

Thanks, Nicole, I love helping!

[@alphabo1]

Very much useful, as usual! Thank you very much

[@SuzanneBryan]

You're very welcome, Lia Leo! I appreciate you watching my videos!

[@isawa6649]

I really enjoy your comparison series. Thank you Suzanne

[@SuzanneBryan]

I appreciate that, Isa, thank you!

[@rachelhmua]

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are welcome, Rachel, I'm glad it was helpful!

[@sarahgreidanus9093]

Excellent videos! Is it possible to show us how to do the vertically striped heel-flap, but with the traditional slip-stitch selvedge, rather than with the garter stitch selvedge? I've tried it several different times, and it seems that no matter what I do, I can't manage to make the chain-stitches along the selvedge edge -- those on the right-hand side of the heel-flap, with the RS facing -- uniform. I'm exceedingly frustrated at this point, and would appreciate, and welcome any help. Another video tutorial perhaps? Cheers!

[@SuzanneBryan]

SG, for a heel flap, with the slipped selvedge stitches, I just slip the stitch point to point, on RS and WS rows. They do not need to look tidy, but they should be tight. After I slip the stitch, I tighten the yarn before making the next stitch. This gives nice tight slipped stitches so that you do not have holes when you pick up the gusset stitches later on. Do not worry about them not looking good. as they will not be seen.

[@joanneyoung1081]

This is very handy to know. Thank you.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are very welcome, Joanne!

[@suem6004]

I do toe up sock knitting with short row heels. I suppose such nice heels shown above would not work what with the shaping required? Very lovely job.

[@SuzanneBryan]

You can also use these stitch patterns for toes and short row heels. Try it on a swatch.

[@TheDollyce]

Thank you! So beautiful!

[@SuzanneBryan]

You're very welcome, Dollyce! 😊

[@micheleellis3338]

Thank you so much 🕊❤️

[@SuzanneBryan]

You are so welcome, Michele! 😍

[@jsnsholle]

Will the row count stay the same

[@SuzanneBryan]

There will be differences in the row counts. you would need to swatch to check it out.

[@joseesimard2103]

Really appreciated!
