It’s in the detail

Short-row shaping helps to

create a nice curve on the heel

of each sock. First you gradually

reduce the width of the heel

panel, then you widen it again

before joining to work in the

round once more. There are

other ways to create heels, but

this method is ideal for patterned

yarn, as there is minimal

disruption to the colours.
