You are one of the few knitters who work the decrease rounds at the very edge of the heel, instead of starting/ending one stitch in. This decreases the width of the finished heel band and makes for a nicer looking heel. Thank you!
Just cut the thread for my first afterthought heel. Nervous but excited. If this works for me, I will be doing this for all future socks. Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm not giving up! I'm going back to trying to do the kitchner stitch...wish me luck LOL!! Thank you for explaining it clearly and for a great quality recording. You have a new follower.
I have been wanting to knit socks forever, but have been too intimidated. With the warm weather sock knitting would be perfect. So now after watching this video, I’m more excited to try! You make it look so easy. Thank you so much for this! As soon as I’m done with one of my projects I’m going to try 😁🤞
Natalie! I haven’t tried an afterthought heel yet but I watched this anyway, lol. I loved loved loved your thorough explanation of the Kitchener Stitch! Thank you so much for explaining it so well! You are awesome.
You really made it look easy so I hope to try this! I thought there was no hope for a heel after I forgot this step, but you've inspired me!! Thank you!
Very well explained your heel. But still a question? After you've put the cable needle down, continue in a circle, or gather the first and the last of each needle. You just don't show that. And I just don't understand that part. Thank you in advance. Greetings Nell.
🌹Super cool - thank you. Now I can make socks for all my friends, after UNSUCCESSFULLY 🤬 trying an 'advanced' knitter heel - confusing , convoluted, complicated! And by the way: you have gorgeous hands - Handmodeling could be an option ( part time/ hobby) for you....
Wow, I learned more than I thought I would from this video. I am new to knitting socks and have only done the heel flap and gusset which is fine but is my least favorite part of the process so I've been wanting to learn some more methods for heels. This will definitely be my next heel experiment! Thank you so much for sharing. I also am thankful for you showing your method to weave in ends, as what I've been doing is fine but I'm always concerned that it won't hold up. If your socks are still doing so well with this method of weaving, I'm going to be doing it this way from now on because I know it'll work. Thanks Natalie!
I am so happy to have come across this explanation in English because now I can remember the algorithm of the kitchener stitch. All the explanations in Russian are much longer and more difficult to remember. Thank you very much.
Hi from littlekniteve, Is the toe kitchen and stitch as well, great video got a lot out of it thank you, I’m going to do my first pair of socks 🧦 Denise from dear designs has come up with dancing on ice socks, so I’m going to try and do my first pair, have a great week.
This is the best tutorial for the kitchener stitch I've seen. I just don't know if I would do the afterthought heel. Your instructions are good but I don't care for the looks of it as well as other types of heels.
This is my favorite heel method. I pick up 2 stitches on each side to help close the gap. Then knit 4 regular rounds to start since I have a high arch. Great tutorial.
Great job on this tutorial. I have about 6 pairs that need heels and some toes. I keep trying different sock methods and heels. I need to get busy on my heels. Thanks for the video!

ok. it explains it's easier to knit afterthought heel with waste yarn technique LoL but still, it's very nice to know the different method
Thank you! I’ve struggled watching other Kitchener stitches and just given up! So helpful.

I can’t wait to try this on my next pair of socks.

😊 Thank you also, for showing :
Hole correction and a proper weaving in - which I was always wondering about
Thank you for this! You make it look so easy, I'll have to try it sometime. 🧶
Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
Perfect tutorial!
Thank you, this was extremely helpful! You are an excellent teacher. I will be trying this method. 😊
Thank you so much!

Thanks so MUCH!,
Natalie ,,,,that was so helpful,,,,

Awesome tutorial!! Thank you so much!

Thank you, you made this look easy and I feel I can do this. My confidence in sock knitting has been improved. Have a blessed day!
Hooray! You totally can do it!!!
seems possible for me to do the afterthought heel, though I haven't made any socks yet😂 thx anyway❤️
Maybe one day we'll convince you to try!!
Hermoso calcetines gracias por enseñar 🙏🏻🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
Awesome! Wish I had seen this sooner! I am "teaching" myself to knit socks and your videos have been so helpful, Thank you!
How do you measure where to place your heel?
Lovely idea for sock but I couldn't find the written pattern for it. Can you post where I can see it?
Great heel, going too try next. Question what is the name of your needles please, they seam so smooth ? Thank you.
Great tutorial Natalie you explain things so well!
Interesting that you don’t do the set up stitches for the Kitchener. Why is that?
Very interesting! I have not had a desire to knit socks yet, but you made the process look doable and much less scary.
This was a fantastic tutorial! Thank you. 🧶
Is there a benefit to no waste yarn for the heel placement?

Thanks Natalie!
ok! So I will be willing to try it after your great demo. I also finally understand kitchener and will try to stop avoiding it! Thank you!
Yay!!! You got this!

I’ve always freaked afterthought heels AND Kitchener UNTIL NOW! Thank you so much for such a clear tutorial. Can’t wait to try 💕
Brilliant Well Explained Tutorial...Thank You So Much 🧦
This is a great tutorial. I can't wait to try this technique! Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks so much!
I’m ready for this. As many socks as I’ve made, I need a heel I’m totally happy with!
Yes! It's always a journey, isn't it?
This is my favorite heel method. I pick up 2 stitches on each side to help close the gap. Then knit 4 regular rounds to start since I have a high arch. Great tutorial.
Great explanation and demonstration, although it hasn't convinced me to knit an afterthought heel. Thanks!
Thank you ❤
This really helps a lot. I always did with worsted yarn but this is easy. Thanks again!!!🥰🥰
So grateful about the cutting on the right leg from the middle of the row! I feel much more confident now!
Thanks!
