Shadow Wrap Heel Tutorial

[@janhavi7576]

Wow - thanks for such clear, patient, easy to follow instructions! As someone mentioned below, your excellent camera work made all the difference too. I just finished a trial heel using larger gauge yarn to try this out before i try it on my first sock and it worked! Really amazing to me - i was stumped before your video. I am excited to try it out tomorrow on my first real sock of fingerling self-striping yarn (which has been waiting for its heel for over a week). Thank you!

[@annwestren6507]

Thank you. All instructions very clear,and more importantly, in camera range the whole time. Makes my life easier.

Thank you so much. very clear and easy to follow instructions 😊

[@rosalindbarbier7670]

Beautiful work and description. Thank you from France :-)

[@janhavi7576]

Thanks!! i am gtting ready to try it on my first sock.

[@laurakirk3481]

Thank you! I’m going to do this on my next pair.

[@carlotajanicky9277]

Thank you, this is a great one. I’ll use it for my next sock

[@tonnyvancromvoirt3523]

Thank you very much, explained very clearly. I just made it and it looks beautiful.

That was a great tutorial of the heel, thank you. Was painful to watch your knitting style though, so labour intensive! 😄

[@margaretdionne1001]

I just followed your directions and the heel is great! Thanks

[@tzviyalevinrifkind620]

Very interesting and well explained. Thank you!

[@CobiCreations1]

Great job ❤

[@knittielynnie]

Oh my goodness! You are the only other person I have ever found who knits like me. I hold my yarn in my left hand and throw it for both knit and purl stitches. I have wondered if it is maybe because I learned to crochet first, or because I was taught to knit English style by a Portuguese knitter. Anyway, thanks for sharing this tutorial!

[@justlivindesigns]

I taught myself to knit from a book years ago, and now this is just the way I knit. Nice to know there are others out there too.

[@dianaf2077]

I was going to add the same comment! Never saw anyone who knits like I do - I too taught myself more than 50 years ago and I think because I learned to crochet first I naturally held the yarn in my left hand. I tension the yarn the same way you do too. I find this to be a very fast way to knit and I’ve never had any pain in my wrists like my English knitting friend do.

[@rosalindbarbier7670]

Me too. I knit like this :-)

[@julierichter3305]

Great tutorial ❤❤

[@timeflies54fast48]

VERY interesting! I have just started using the Shadow Wrap heel. I had been doing the feegle heel. But i like the finished look of this one better. Thank you.

[@Ladeedi73]

Thank you!!! I was looking for this in DK! I can’t wait to try it! Very clear! Pattern purchased 😊

[@daniellesnyder1244]

I’m doing toe up for the first time and wanting to do something other than GSR or the Eye of partridge (which I like how it’s reinforced but now how unflattering it looks). I tried to understand the FLK but was totally overwhelmed by the instructions-so now I’m trying this per others instructions. I suspect conquering this heel will help me understand FLK. Thanks for this tutorial (and bought the pattern, too)!

[@daniellesnyder1244]

P.S. I love the fast forward sounds…takes me back to childhood and VCR’s. 😂

[@justlivindesigns]

It is similar to FLK heel, I hope it helps.

[@naidamelendez1388]

Amazing tutorial. I’m a new knitter and inly have done 3 pairs of socks. I tried shadow wrap but was not entirely sold but with this video I will try again. I enjoy toe up socks. Could you please make a fleegel heel tutorial?

[@gardensandgracehomestead]

Thank you!

[@skyhowie54]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I am curious, though: Does the triple stitch create much bulk at the seamline?

[@justlivindesigns]

It is a little thicker, but I have never noticed any discomfort in shoes.

[@tyka930]

Purchased the pattern 😄

[@sallycunningham9608]

Do you have to divide the stitches or do knit all of them

[@justlivindesigns]

@@sallycunningham9608 the heel is worked over half the total stitches of the sock. So, for 64 stitch count it would be worked over 32 stitches.

[@jandearlivinglife4433]

I am doing top down do I just fallow along with this ? Even though your doing toe up? Thank you for this as I have Ben trying to find one that’s using Dk weight !!

[@justlivindesigns]

Yes, it is knit the same way for both top down and toe up.

[@carolynrockafellow417]

Awesome thank you

[@annakoch9972]

How do you know its time to start the heel? Do you count how many rows the heel should have by count how many stitches you have of the nidle?

[@justlivindesigns]

That information is in my paid for patterns, this tutorial is just to walk you through how to actually knit the shadow wrap heel, the way that I knit it in my patterns.

Buenas tardes, puede traducir al español en You tube ? Gracias, Aida Abdala Sanchez , España.

[@justlivindesigns]

Lo siento, no puedo traducir al español en este momento. Podría intentar ejecutar una aplicación de traducción.

[@lindasgrammarhammer9208]

Very interesting, how do I get the pattern?

[@justlivindesigns]

For the simple pattern, you can get in on Ravelry. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shadow-wrap-heel-socks-2-ways Or if you don't have Ravely I have links to my stores on LoveCrafts and PayHip in the about section on my Channel. I used this heel in many of my patterns.
