I just subscribed, this one amazing new thing I learned, has been the dividing the short row, is to divide it in the beginning. I had never heard that before!! Genius.
Wonderful! I love those aha moments. Happy Holidays.
can you give me advice on how to get it to end up on the knit side?
The instructions for short row heel in my sock book are a nightmare. This is SUCH a great, detailed tutorial! Thank you so much for doing this! 😊
I'm an experienced crocheter but a very novice knitter, and this is definitely the best/simplest heel method I've found! Instructions were very clear, and my sock is coming along great 😊
Thank you! No one has ever made the gap closure as clear as you have here. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
So refreshing to see someone knitting continental like I do! Thanks for a great tutorial for someone who is gradually becoming more confident in knitting socks. The grandkids don't care if there's a hole at the corner, but I sure do! I'll subscribe and look forward to more great content.
Yay!
Me too
I think I’ll nickname you “the un-nervous knitter”. You are so calm that your instructions are completely clear. Great vid!
Thank you!
I’m so glad I found this video! I was just about ready to pull my hair out after trying to follow several different tutorials. This video was so clear and helped me figure everything out. Thank you ❤️
I'm so glad!
I was so excited to find your channel. I am a self taught beginner knitter. My knitting teacher from our local yarn shop told me I was " unteachable!" I found a childs beginner knitting kit in our book store & it took me forever but I finally knit my husband a cable afghan zi had wanted to make. My goal is to knit him a pair of socks & because of you I just might do so. The closest yarn shop is an hour and a half from me, so finding a knitting class is almost impossible now. I want to teach kids to knit at our library. I need to learn to knit socks. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Our local yarn shop closed during the pandemic.
That teacher from your lys sounds very unpleasant... nobody is unteachable. There's just certain teachers that don't work well with certain students, as well as teachers that can't teach - being able to do a skill and being able to teach a skill are 2 seperate skills of their own. Keep on going! You will do this!
Kind regards, a fellow self-taught knitter
Thank you so much! I finally understand how the short rows work on a sock heel because of your clear and detailed video.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! You are an amazing teacher! I was shown how to knit by my cousin who was babysitting for my sister and myself. She gave me two plastic dpn’s and a small ball of yarn from a repurposed sweater and cast on a number of stitches so I could practice. That was 60 years ago and I taught myself how to knit from books and magazines. (No TH-cam back then!) My one and only way to turn a heel included picking up stitches on either side of a heel flap and knitting a gusset. I was so excited to learn your wrap and turn short rows heel!!! I knit the first one last night, ripped it out and knit it again today for practice! I did it!! No holes on either side! Thank you so very much for sharing your skills and expertise. There will be socks under our Christmas tree this year!
Susanne, you are an amazing teacher! You explain all the detail so completely, and calmly. Your voice and way of explaining are very confidence-building! I think if I were to attempt this, I would keep this video in my lap as I knit.
Thank you!
Thank you Dan Bev! Happy knitting.
This is the best demo and technique I've found for wrap and turn short rows. After many patterns, videos , and ripping out stitches I've found success !
Wonderful!
Suzanne, thank you. I just completed my first short row heel without a hitch. You are a true treasure on the internet. I subscribed a few months back and I’ve learned so much!
I searched and searched for a clear tutorial to clarify the written directions in Schurch - More Sensational Sock book. This is exactly what I needed to "fix" the written directions that I couldn't make work.
Great. 🧶
Suzanne, i want to say thank you so much for your knitting tuttorials....i have been a huge fan of your channel for 3 years now...i learned a lot from your tutorials and live streams...i also want to say thank you for being such a warm and inviting soul...your voice is just so comforting that i fell asleep while watching two of your videos today...oh no, not in a bad way at all...i have a lot stress and medical issues that it's hard to fall asleep...your voice while teaching is so warm and inviting that it feels like an angel soothing my soul....thank you for being such an amazing teacher
Thank you so much!
So clear. Finally got a short row heel
And no holes.
So happy. Thanks x
Wonderful, Wendy! Yay for no holes! ❤️
Brilliant explanation! I spent hours trying to do this technique on my own and frogged countless times. I worked right along with this video and the heel looks amazing. Your explanations on the technique told me everything I was doing wrong. I can’t thank you enough!
I love hearing this, RuthAnn! And way to persevere, well done! ❤️
Suzanne, you are the BEST teacher! Thank you so much for your knowledges, that you so generous share with us!
Thank you for showing this! My pattern was as clear as mud in a murky swamp, but you explained it so well. I'm still a pretty new knitter, but your explanation was easy to understand and so helpful! Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, this was what I needed to finish my first pair of socks for my husband. I was having a terrible time with the wrap and turn heel, and this video fixed the issues.
Wonderful!
This is an amazing idea. I’m not sure I’ve seen end of short row stitches double wrapped and know I have never seen a wrap and turn using first/last stitches of the instep needle. I’m going to have a go at it. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video. I was knitting a Christmas stocking and didn't understand the wrap and turn directions. You made it clear and easily understandable. It took me a few times to get it correct, especially that first wrapped stitch on the instep. My finished stocking heel looks beautiful! Thanks again.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was having so much trouble picking up the wraps and double wraps until I watched your video! My heel looks lovely now!
Thank you so much. This is a wonderfully clear tutorial. The ladders and holes have been banished!
Yay, this is great to hear, Marta! ❤️
That was so helpful! I only knew how to do afterthought heel and now I finally understood and knitted a short row heel!!! I can't thank you enough!
Glad it helped! Happy Holidays.
Wonderful, thank you! I, too, appreciate your clear teaching style.
Thank you Jan D! Happy knitting.
Beautiful demo, Suzanne. I bought that pattern for the “Undulence” sock. I love your work!
Oh thank you!
Thank you so much. Every day I learn a lot more with you!
Thank you Fatima de Haan! Happy knitting.
Finally I managed to knit a half decent heel with this tutorial. Thank you!
Fantastic video! Incredibly helpful, thank you! I really appreciate that you showed the w&t over several rows- that's what I couldn't comprehend with the other videos I watched. My sock heel looks beautiful now. 😍
You are so welcome! If you have not already subscribed to my channel, please consider. That is the best way that you can thank me. Happy knitting.
WoW! Suzanne you just blew my mind! This video is exceptional! I did not realize you had 2 sets of circular needles or how to divide the stitches into thirds. The heel is absolutely divine! Thank You You made it look so easy.
You are so kind, Monica, thank you - your feedback is very appreciated! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video and the gorgeous pattern! Your videos are extremely easy to follow and make knitting socks/etc seem doable!
Thank you A Chen! Happy knitting.
Amazing!!! I always have trouble with a hole in that area. I will definitely try this on my next pair of socks. Thanks so much!!
You are very welcome susan wingblade! Happy knitting.
Thank you so much! After having the heel more than halfway done by another method I tinker it all the way back and just finished it by using your instructions.
Wonderful!
Oh my gosh! I am so happy to have found you on TH-cam! Excellent tutorial!
Thanks so much, Kathleen, I'm glad you found me too! 😊
Oh. I want to try this ! Another beautiful challenge. Thank you Suzanne.
Thank you Anne TREMOLIERES! Happy knitting.
Thank You So Much! I am short row challenged with a difficult Chritmas Stocking and you just connected all the dots!
Thank you Suzanne. This tutorial is so helpful as all of yours are. You’re a gifted knitter and teacher.❤️
You are so welcome!
Pure Genius! I have made dozens of socks in the past few years and always had trouble with the holes! I did the wrap and turn too. The biggest problem I had with the W&T was seeing the wraps on the small stitches (using 00 or 000 needles) but your taught me how to see them easier. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your expertise in this video!
You are so welcome, Rita! Thank you for the lovely feedback! ❤️
Great tutorial, it's easy to follow and provides great results! Thank you! I'm knitting a pair of socks with a moire dye job and didn't want to interrupt the flow of color with a turned heel, knitting a short-row heel from the other side of the ball did the trick! I can finish my birthday present for my friend now. :)
Wonderful!
I went to your Rivalry account and downloaded your pattern for FREE today! Thank you for the beautiful sock pattern!
Thank you!
Love love love your tutorials. Thank you ever so much for the sock pattern which happened to be on my birthday!
You are very welcome Joy Redden! Happy knitting and happy birthday.
oh my goodness this video was so so helpful!! i had so much trouble with splitting the stitch instead of wrapping like this!! thank you so much!
Hej, dear Suzanne. With your help I’ve made my best sock heel EVER! I’m so happy😊 and thankful. God bless you for your hard work to teach us. Wish you a nice day from Denmark 🇩🇰
I love your instructional videos! Absolutely clear and easily understood for beginners, too. Thanks so much, Suzanne.
Thank you Della Juanita Underwood! Happy knitting.
WOW, fascinating to see. Looking forward to trying this method! Thank you.
Hope you enjoy it!
I have watched at least 10 videos on sock heels. This is the clearest and best instruction. I used to use the wrap and turn heel, but then I tried to get fancy. Going back to the basics. Thank you.
I'm doing the Berroco Kalla which calls for this short row heel and your video is just what I needed. Thanks Suzanne!
Wonderful!🧶
Thank you for a great tutorial! The way to close the gap between heel and instep is genius!
You are very welcome, Lena, I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for the lovely feedback! ❤️
Thank you! This is amazing! I feel like a sculpter.😆 Great video. Thank you for the close up shots, so we can clearly see how you are working the stitches. Love.
You are so welcome! 🧶
Thank you for this. You really have a gift for demystifying instructions on techniques. I swore off socks 15+ years ago because I hated the gaps in the W&T. Recently I gave it a go again with a pattern with an afterthought heel (with a pattern in two contrasting colors). It was worse. Making two new stitches at each end from the fabric was not enough to close the gap and you can’t snug it up at all since you’re p/u the sts from the row below. Loved the design otherwise but knew I’d never make another afterthought heel. Now I can still make that pretty pattern and make your no hole W&T heels. So grateful.
Suzanne! I'd not seen this tutorial and was using another "lazy" kind of method for a few years now. Tried this one tonight, a bit tricky since I was using some splitty Kroy, but it worked out perfectly with the double wraps!!! Thank you for this amazing demo, and I am blown away at how you do this with the camera, and zoom in and out....you are amazing!!! Thank you so much!! Blessings ❤
Thank you Carol Halford! Happy knitting.
This was a wonderful video. It really made it easy for me to follow your instructions by visually seeing UP CLOSE what you were doing. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome Judy Landeck! Happy knitting.
Best tutorial on this that I’ve found!
Thanks so much for your kind feedback, Crystal! 😊
So between learning a sort of slingshot caston for toe up socks and now pretty much mastering this technique on my second try, I have a whole new way of making socks. It takes longer than my old standby, which I could almost work in my sleep, but I like these short rows better than German ones and the result looks professional. THANKS!
That's wonderful, Patricia! In no time you'll be just as proficient in short rows as you were in German. ❤️
Best of all I tried so far, thank you.
Wonderful to hear, Zuzana! You are very welcome! ❤️
Thank you Suzanne, you're a Super Teacher as always! Thank you! 💛 💚 💙 💜
You are so welcome, Carmen! Thank you for the great compliment! ❤️
Thanks so much! I got a new sock book for Christmas and the first pattern I tried uses this short row method. I was a little puzzled by it and am so happy to understand it after watching your video.
Wonderful!
Suzanne, thank you for your teaching me the ssp and ssk stitches. I liked your video very much.
Harriet Suzanne
Thank you Harriet Saikin! Happy knitting.
Fantastic tutorial. I’ve been trying to simplify and make heel look more modern. Love this. Great teaching. Thank you!
Oh! I've found this so difficult! Full of holes! I will go back to my usual method. That is not to say your instructions were not good. They were very good for those who hold the yarn in the left hand. I hold mine with my right forefinger and flick the yarn around the needle, I don't throw the yarn. My husband used to be fascinated as he said my 'flick' was so fast he couldn't see it! I'm left handed but ever thankful my mother, who was right handed, taught me to knit. She hated knitting! Anyway, when you were picking up the 'wrap' I found it impossible to see how I could do it! I tried allsorts but no luck! Thank you anyway😊
I'm sorry that this didn't work for you, and I do appreciate your feedback. Best of luck! 😊
Thank you! That makes so much sense!
Thank you Debbie Adams! Happy knitting.
Thank you Suzanne. I finally understand short rows! I am excited to knit some self striping yarn. 😊
I love that Undulence sock!! I have to visit your Ravelry soon .
You are so welcome!
Been working on my first sock ……..finally your video making sense to me thank you so much 😊 very clear and concise after many rounds ripping and starting over to several other videos ..yours clicks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌼
Wonderful!
Thanks so much. I've been trying to reach myself to knit and it would be impossible without good teachers like you.
You are so welcome, M Dolly! I also have a Facebook page (same name) filled with knitters at every level, and we love to help new knitters; you should join us. 😊
Thank you so much! All of your tutorials have been so helpful for me!! Thank you so so much!
You are very welcome Hippity Hoppity Your Stuff Is Now My Property! Happy knitting.
Thank you Suzanne! 🧶
Thank you Francine Frechette! Happy knitting.
I loved the result of this technique! It looks so pretty and perfect. Thank you so much! You explained it beautifully as usual. ❤🌷
You are so welcome, Fernanda! I appreciate your kind feedback! 😊
Thanks for the pattern today. Eyes are open for yarn to try it with!
Thank you E Mc! Happy knitting.
Wonderfully explained, thank you!
Thank you Lisa Wro! Happy knitting.
Neat way to prevent holes at the ends. I never saw this technique before but will try it out. I usually add an extra stitch on each end then decrease on the next round but sometimes i get holes. Maybe this’ll close the gap better. Thank you
Let me know what you think after you try it.
Thank you. I had to come back and review concealing the wraps. I will keep this on file for future reference.
🧶
I typically avoid short rows due to gaps. This video changed my mind!
🧶
Thank you for this video - I've tried several and yours was the most clear and easy to follow. Perfect tutorial - thank you!
Great to hear, Ingrid, thank you!
That was awesome, you are very good at explaining this! I was stuck and am happy to say, I did it!! thank you!!!
Fantastic!
This is a very good tutorial. All my socks will be better now! Thanks!
Great!
Excellent video and instructions. My first heel turn went without a glitch. Thank you so much.
Yay, great to hear, Roberta! ❤️
Great option to the boomerang version that's been driving me crazy! I'm much more less "fiddly" doing wrap and turn than that weird maneuver at the start of each row on the boomerang version of short row heel.
I think it's a good option too, G-Girl! 😉
Totally going to do this! Thank you for the nice tutorial. The German short row is not really my thing, ik think this will. Starting my fourth pair of socks 🧦 and doing this heel. So happy I found your video.
Wonderful, Monique, I'm so happy to help! ❤️ Good luck on the socks!
Thank you! Excellent tutorial!
You are my SHERO! Thank you!
Thank you Martha Berry! Happy knitting.
After my 5th attempt I nailed it! My issue was when I was working on the round again I graped correctly the corners but i didn't do it tight. Thanks for the clear tutorial and definitely worth it not to have socks with holes!
That's awesome, Karla! Socks without holes are the best! 😊
The might be the first tutorial that I might try. I'm a newbie and a little daunted by making socks. Getting tired of making hats 😂
That's wonderful, John! I'm sure your hats are awesome, and I applaud you for wanting to step up your game. I hope you subscribe to my channel, I have more sock videos and even patterns on Ravelry. 😊 KnittingSuzanne on Ravelry - www.ravelry.com/people/KnittingSuzanne
Thank you I could not understand the book I have on how to do it now I get it once again thank you
Wonderful!
This was ridiculously helpful. Thank you!
Thank you...your instruction are very clear...
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderfully explaining, thanks madam 👌
You are very welcome Surinder Kaur! Happy knitting.
I like the look of this wrap and turn method better than the German short row one with the holes.
🧶
Thaks so much for sharing this information! Your video was very helpful.
Beautiful, very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!🧶
Brilliant technique and great explanation...thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Great
와 정말 좋은방법이에요! 양말만드는데 큰 참고가 될 것 같아요!!!!고마워요; )
Thank you 감귤파치! Happy knitting.
Another fantastic video, Suzanne! I hope you make your 100,000 subscribers. You deserve it! Question: Where is the best point in the knitting to do a contrast heel?
I start my contrast heel at the point where you would start the heel.
I'm fan of your knitting maam
Thank you bhat. parveena! Happy knitting.
When knitting socks, what heel do you prefer to use? I knit a lot of socks and haven't been happy with the SR technique I've been using. So, I'd really appreciate knowing which heel you prefer. I've watched this video probably a dozen times and hope to use your technique on my next heels!! I LOVE your videos and your teaching style and voice. You are very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for charging with us!!
For me, I use heel flaps, heel turn and gussets. I have very high arches and they fit me the best. But for some designs, short row heels fit the pattern better, as in this design.
I would like to see you demonstrate how you rejoin main color yarn, when you have worked a contrast color heel. I have knit a contrast color short row heel, but am am not sure where and how to resume knitting in the round. I have a huge hole on the last side and don’t know how deal with the last wrap on the instep needle plus dealing with the contrast and main color yarns at the junction. I hope this makes sense about what I am asking. I haven’t seen very many videos showing how to put in contrast heels on short row heels.
Look at the direction that the yarn would have traveled if you had continued working with it. That is the direction for weaving it in. For example, on that heel, the last use of the heel yarn is when you complete the last short row turn conceal. So the yarn needs to go in the direction that it would have, if it weren't broken, for weaving in. I hope this makes sense. Happy knitting Elaine.
Wowwwww that was helpfully thank you very much
Michelle, you are so welcome! Thanks for watching! ❤️
This is the best short row heel I’ve done yet!
Note: 11:25 for closing up wraps. 16:20 for dealing with last stitch and instep gap
Fantastic!
Thank you, it's helpfull for me ❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
