I have often used this for heel flaps and have started using it for the sole of my slipper patterns, because it's so squishy to walk on. One of the strange things is how many stitches are out on youtube that say they're eye of partridge, but are actually fisherman's rib or a strange slipped rib pattern. This version is the only one that actually gives a texture that looks like the color pattern around a partridge's eye, hence the name.

Exactly. It is the "eye" of partridge. If you can't see the eye, it is not worked correctly. Or the colors were not used correctly. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@patriciaheil6811 There's a product called "plasti dip" that you can brush on the sole to make it more durable. It's usually at hardware stores, as it's designed to put on the handles of metal tools like pliers. For tools you're supposed to dip the handle in, but if you use a cheap chip brush you can brush it.

Hi Susan - I'm using the two-color EoP pattern worked flat for a heel flap (I'm knitting a cuff-down sock). I had to start over twice, because there's something wrong I think with the way I do the selvedge stitches. First, I tried slipping the first and last stitches, then, I tried slipping the first stitch and knitting the last one. In the first case, it looks like the first and last stitch are not moving up with the rest of the work row after row. In the second case, one side is moving up and the other not. The reason why I was trying to slip stitches instead of knitting them is because it creates a nice edge where I find it easy to pick up stitches later on. I'm going to give that up and try a 3rd time, knitting the first and last stitches (already found a video from you on how to pick up stitches in garter). However, I'd like to understand, since you mention in the video that slipping stitches is possible, what am I doing wrong?
@SuzanneBryan3 жыл бұрын
For this sample, I think that working the first and last stitch as I show in this video is the best method for a heel flap. You would pick up each garter bump along the edge for your gusset stitches.

Thank you for this detailed video. i have been working on a mitten pattern that includes the eye of partridge stitch, and after two days and lots of knitting in reverse, I still get off pattern when working in the gusset stitches.
