Class 9: Shadow Wrap Short Row Heel
In Today's class we will be learning the how to use shadow wraps in a Shadow Wrap Short Row Heel. This heel is knit with a series of twin and triple stitches to "build" each side of the short row heel. It is very easy to follow, there is very little counting and and it creates a perfectly symmetrical heel that has a deep and comfortable fit.
This tutorial is linked in my new sock pattern called Soxploration: The Shadow Wrap Heel. The links to purchase it on Ravelry and my website are below.

I have watched EVERY shadow wrap heel tutorial as well as reading every shadow wrap heel instructional post. This is, by far, the clearest explanation out there. Thank you SOOO much. And thank you also for your well-modulated, calm and soothing speaking manner. It helps mitigate the incipient panic of learning a new technique. LOL
I'm so glad it was helpful!
@EarthtonesgirlPodcast I've just taken an expensive class where she was useless and intimidating. She gave out wrong instructions then laughed and bossed when we got it wrong. Your own class is fantastic in contrast.
That was INCREDIBLY helpful. And, your tone and appreciation for all learners is so wonderful. Thank you, you beautiful human!
I second that! So considerate! 😊
Her voice while teaching is so incredibly kind and patient!
What a great tutorial! You are a good teacher. I've often wondered how to do a shadow wrap heel. Now I know! 🇬🇧
I replayed “it’s not hard, it’s new and new things take time” to my 5 year old (and myself) and had a great conversation about this! She struggles with new things and this was a great reminder! Thank you!
Oh that just touched my heart. I have a 6 year old and we talk about this very often!! I'm so happy it was helpful for you both!!
YES!! isn't she just the best encourager!
I laughed when you said if it was too slow the viewer could speed it up as I replayed the video for almost every twin stitch on my first heal and then every triple stitch/ new triple on the return. Thank you so much for this repetitive real time knitting instruction. I’m sure you would have run out of patience if you had to go at my pace. But replay has no limit to patience ❤. Hint to new sock knitters: soft fuzzy 100% alpaca in dark purple is not a good choice for your first sock attempt. Only plus is the numerous mistakes won’t show very much.
more than 10 years of knitting and i’ve never seen an easier short row heel and i’m in love! off to pull out some WIP socks and get them going, this heel is not only simple but gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
I really appreciate how calm you are compared to other technique teachers on TH-cam--your hands and your voice don't jump around and it really makes it easier to follow what you're teaching. I'm knitting your One More Step Socks and this tutorial was super helpful to understand the new-to-me heel construction. Love the socks, love your videos!
Thank you so much for that feedback Kate!!! It means more than you know!!!
I, too, noticed your voice. A beautiful speaking voice, indeed. I am certain you also have a lovely singing voice.
WOW! My mind is blown. This is an amazing heel. The way you taught it was totally understandable and seeing it done in real time makes it so much more understandable for me. Thank you for this.
YAY!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed the tutorial!!! And thank you so much for the feedback, it means so much and is very helpful to me!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Oh my goodness!!! I watched quite a few tutorials and even this one a half dozen times.
It took me 4 hrs but I got the heel done!!
I am so stoked and trust me when I say, be glad you're not next to me bc I'd hug you soooo tight.
The heel is what's kept me from ever doing socks. Thank you for ALL your tutorials, now onto the leg and foot. I'm on it now and ain't no stopping me now. Hugs 💖
This really was overwhelming for me. Your calm voice and repetition of the necessary stitches so CALMING and in a language I can understand as I am knew to socks. Trying to knit baby socks using this method. Thank you so much!
Yesssss, her calm voice and necessary repetition of instructions is what makes her teaching so effective.
I feel like I could actually knit socks after doing this with you. (Heels scared me). For a pandemic knitter, who earned to knit last winter online alone, it was so pleasant to "knit with" someone. Many thanks for a beautifully done tutorial.
You are so welcome Diane!!!!
Don't you wonder sometimes how someone comes up with these things? I'm thankful for those who play around exploring possibilities and end up with techniques like this.
I wonder about it all the time and I am humbled by the genius that’s out there!!
I watched this through, then watched it again while I made a heel! OMG! I have a heel with no holes!!! And it’s super easy to do! I managed to do the second heel from memory without any problems! Thank you thank you thank you for such a fantastic heel! This is now my go to heel!
Yay!!! You are so welcome!!!
Good for you Ally! Personally, I had to watch the video again on the second sock. I might be a slow learner!
@@conspiracybeliever1749 Not slow, just thorough. I'm with ya on watching again and again.
This has completely revolutionised my sock knitting - thank you so much Denise for an absolutely fantastic instructional video 💖
Denise - That is one fabulous looking heel. I love the look of it, and how simple it is to work. No more getting lost on boomerang rows! The video was great: I could see you make all the stitches, and your explanations of what your hands were doing as you made the twin and triple stitches were simple, clear, and in time with your hand actions. That speaking while doing timing is quite an accomplishment. I can't wait to try this heel out. Thanks, Janet
Thank you so much Janet!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the tutorial!!! Happy Sock knitting!!
This is brilliant! I so appreciate that you knit in real time so I can follow along stitch by stitch. Your teaching method is extraordinary.
You are the Queen of Knitting teaching! So clear, so soothing, thank you!
Wow, thank you! I don't think I would say Queen, Lol. Obsessed and passionately enthusiastic maybe!!
Thank you for this video, I'm going to knit this heel in my next pair. I like your real time knitting examples. It gives my brain time to absorb the words and see visually the result!
You are so welcome Andrea!! And thank YOU for the feedback. I'm so glad you found the tutorial and pace of it helpful!!
This is absolutely the best heel! I've tried some other heels but keep coming back to this one. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
I am so glad I found your video. The shadow wrap heel isn't hard to do it's just that different people explain it differently. Your video I vote for is the BEST. I used to do this method years ago and forgot . All I remember is the part knitting stitches together. I followed along with you and it all came back to me . I put your video on save to my favorites. You're a great teacher. I'm also a subscriber. I never saw your video until today and I noticed the video was done three years ago but I never got it where I live . Now I have it. Thanks 🙏🙏
YAY!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!!
Thank you Denise for this very informative class. You are a brilliant teacher!
This heel is amazing! Combined your two patterns to knit a shorty with the shadow wrap heel. Just finished first heel and cannot believe how beautiful it is. And, a short row I can memorize - never would have believed it!
This makes me so happy!!
I cannot Thank You enough!! I’ve been knitting basics for about 30 years, but wanted to take it to the next level, my problem, I live in the country, no LYS within 50 miles, and then there’s the work/life schedule.
TH-cam has been a tremendous help, but the real bonus was finding YOU!!
Your teaching style I find so helpful.
God Bless you, you’re helping more than you know ❤
Hi Donna, thank you so much for your wonderful message. I am so happy that TH-cam and my channel have been such a good resource for you.
I’m so glad you found your way here!!!
FABULOUS! Denise, your video completely demystifies this heel! I can’t wait to try it! Thank you for another wonderful lesson in your calm, encouraging manner. 💕
I love your real time knitting tutorials They are absolutely the clearest and easiest to follow along with! You’re genious
I’m so glad someone suggested a shadow wrap heel as an alternative to a short row heel and pointed me in your direction! I hadn’t heard of shadow wrap before and was intrigued. This will definitely be the heel on my next pair of socks. Your instructions are so clear and easily followed and understood. I also like your calm, soothing voice 😊 Did a quick scan of your videos and have subscribed to your channel. Looks like great content. Thank you so much for sharing your skills 👍
YOU ARE TOTALLY AN INCREDIBLE INSTRUCTOR!!!!! I have avoided the heel for a hundred years - doing tube socks only - I am ready to do my first real sock!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!!!!
I just made my first shadow wrap heel following this tutorial. It was very clear - thank you for doing this!
You are so welcome! I’m so happy to hear that!!
Denise I just love this heel! The sock pattern I am knitting called for a short row heel and as i was doing it I remembered this heel and came back to your pattern because it is so great! Thank you so much for the tutorial… it’s excellent!
Once again you've hit a home run! I'm a FLK heel gal but I love this simpler method with the even weaved look. I have a WIP that's ready for its heel & I will try this method & let you know 🤞. Can you do a tutorial on contrast heel with this method?
I was just going to post about the contrast heel as well! Love this heel
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Your voice is very calming, your explanations clear and I like you showing the method in real time. It’s much easier than the FLK heel since you don’t have to mess with markers, count, etc. I will most definitely be buying your pattern and also look forward to hopefully seeing you explain how to do a contrast colored heel with this method.
I'm so happy your tutorials are still available. Even though,I've used the shadow heel since you showed all of us, mistakes do happen and had to go back and and refresh my memory. I used an old copy that shows to stop on the 27th stitch for a 28 st count, glad I checked again. Still love using this heel!
Amazing, Denise! Thanks SO much for teaching this! I can’t wait to try this heel! It looks beautiful! 👍😀
Long time fan of the shadow wrap / Twin stitch heels, it was the only one that seemed to fit me perfectly.
Thank you so much for your , well thought out videos
You are so welcome!
I started to learn how to knit this year and one of my goals is to learn how to knit socks. I just want to knit socks so bad. Your channel showed up randomly and I am definitely glad it did. You explain the process so well. I like how you have the whole course in your description box that way people (me haha) don't have to search and search to find the whole course. I am a new subscriber now.
I finally just completed my sample Shadow Wrap Short Row Heel! W0w! I have studied studied and studied this "new to me" pattern and am soooooo proud to have completed a sample. I have PHD "Project Half Done" a pair of socks on two circular needles up to the heel and am now ready to continue with putting on the Shadow Wrap Short Row Heel since I have completed my practice heel. Thank you Denise for teaching this procedure for the heel on socks and for teaching the "knitting two socks on two circular needles.....it has been quite an experience for me to learn both of these things. God bless Denise and continued success on your podcast. I am 78 years old and proud that I was able to learn these two procedures from your teaching.
A few years back, I made my first sock ever following your No Fear Shorty Sock! I wanted a new heel that would be easier, but I wasn't experinced enough to really understand the Fishlip Kiss pattern. (I guess I'm more a visual learner). I was disappointed that you couldn't make a tutorial for her design. Well, patience has won!!! I love this tutorial and it looks so easy to do with no fancy stitches or extra steps to closing holes!!! Thank you so much Denise!! I love the smile in your voice as you give instructions and your words of encouragement are so very refreshing. It feels like a hug of affirmation!
Hi Suzanne,
Thank you so much for your wonderful message and compliment!! I’m so happy to hear that the wait was worth it! Your patience and understanding is deeply appreciated!!
This looks amazing! I’ve just finished a heel flap, heel turn and gusset, so much work! I can’t wait to try this! I’ve done a fish lips kiss heel which is similar with twin stitches, but this looks even easier! Great tutorial!
Wonderful tutorial and best short row heel I've ever seen! I would love to see you do a toe-up sock with this as a short row toe (with a provisional cast on picked up after the toe is completed). I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Your work is beautiful, and your explanations are so clear and easy to follow.
Finally going to put this heel into “play”!! Your tutorials are amazing!!
My word Denise, that’s simply wonderful! I have always avoided short row heels but now I shall try this method for my next socks. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. 😃 Vasco
OMG, I have been waiting for this kind of heal!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
You are so welcome Juli!!! Thank you for watching!!
This Heel is amazing - just tried it for the first time and I love it
I bought your Fearless DK Weight sock pattern and started today. I just finished your tutorial, and may I say it is AMAZING! You instructions are so clear and the shadow wrap is brilliant! Thank you for the great tutorial!
Thank you so much for buying the pattern! I can’t tell you how excited that makes me. And I’m so glad that the tutorials were so helpful to you! That makes all the effort worthwhile!!!
This is the best heel I’ve done so far. Using this forever now, thank you so much!!!
You're so welcome! I'm so happy you like it!!
I am thrilled to learn this Denise! Thanks for taking the time and explaining it so well.
This is the BEST tutorial, hands down!
Oh thank you so much much that makes me so happy to hear. I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Oh Denise...this is so clear! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
Dear Ms Earthtones Girl, you are a wonderful teacher. I am following your directions for the shadow heel on your class number 9, and I'm so enjoying working along the direction of a master knitter who is also a master teacher. Thank you for your encouragement and for your clarity!
Brava!! Thanks Denise for a clear, concise and fun new-to-me heel! xo
Thank you so much for teaching socks. You are an excellent teacher and I am grateful to you! Your explanations and the videos make all the difference in the world.
You are so welcome!
Although I am German and there are German tutorials for this kind of heel, I always come back to your‘s as it‘s the best!❤
Now I understand what all the excitement is about.
I'm on my fourth pair of socks and this time they are for me! I'm going to be trying out this heel.
Thank you, thank you for doing the whole rows at the beginning. My brain needs to see that.
Take care and keep safe. xxJane
So excited to get started on a pair of socks. I've been searching for a heel I love and I am confident this is it. Thank you so much, Denise. Beautiful tutorial. Congratulations on your new sock pattern! ❤
A great tutorial Denise so much easier than the regular type of heel absolutely loved it. Thank you ❤
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I am absolutely amazed at how this heel formed, so easily. Thank you so very much for your informative and inspiring videos!
Thank you so much for sharing the heel !!!! You are teaching so quietly.
You are so welcome!
WOW! PERFECT! SO SIMPLE and easy to keep track of where you are and no holes to close up, YEAH! THANK YOU!!! ❤️
I really really appreciate your video on this heel. You’re an excellent teacher and now I have found my absolute favorite short row heel out of the many many I have tried!! 🥰
Just as I master the heel, flap& gusset, this comes along (in my feed). I have been subscribed for a while. I have watched a number of your sock tutorials, but this one has quickly become one of my favorites. I'm working on TAAT socks now. My first heel was a hot mess. Totally my fault. Then, after studying your tutorial and doing the second heel? Perfect. And I went back and ripped out the first (mess) and redid it so it was also the way it should be. Thank you so much for the time you take in creating these tutorials. As everyone has said before me, your clarity, patience and calm are gold. This will be my heel of choice now, and I have you to thank for showing me such a (relatively) simple heel technique to make socks even easier.
Wow, this is wonderful!!! Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tutorial!!!
New subscriber and German Short Row (Continental) knitter here. In ten minutes flat, you changed the way I knit socks! Great teacher!
Awesome! Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear!!! And thank you so much for subscribing!!!
Denise, this is one of the best tutorial videos I have ever watched! Just terrific instructions. (Your voice is also so pleasant, calm & encouraging!) I knit my first "swh' along with you. Thank you so much!!
I am attempting my 2nd heel and brought up the video. I am delighted to just now notice the transcript on the right side of the screen. I jumped to 9:00 minutes where the actual knitting begins. I have never seen a transcript in a video before. Downright genius! ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Ok, so I am very late to this video but I have to thank you for such a clear tutorial on the shadow wrap heel. Thank you for everything you do for the knitting community.
You’re very welcome.
Thank you so much Denise! I’ve never felt comfortable doing anything other than a heel flap and gusset but I am definitely going to try this. You’re a great teacher.
Omg! I did it!! My first shadow wrap heel!! Thank you so much 😊 😊😊😊!! ❤️
Just discovered your videos & wanted to thank you for this one. Your videos are so clear & easy to follow. I think I've just found my new favorite heel pattern!
If I haven't knit a sock for a while I always come back to this tutorial when I start my heel. Even though I mostly remember everything I love knitting along with you about once per year while I refresh myself on the best heel I've ever tried ❤
That makes me so happy to hear. Thank you so much!
What a great teacher you are. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial!! ready to give it a try. You take all fear away in regards of heel/sock knitting!!! Thank you!🧦!!!!
This is an amazing tutorial! I loved learning a new style of heel. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
This is the clearest tutorial I’ve seen yet! This is exactly the technique I used to do a million yrs ago from an ancient book, but much easier! Thank you so much for recording this! 🩵 🧶 🧦
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Presented so clearly! I’m knitting my first shadow heel now! Love your teaching style.
You did your thing with this video!! You’re a great teacher .
This is already my favorite heel but I always need yo rewatch it when I am knitting a sock. You will now be my video to watch.
Thank you so very much for this amazing tutorial. I have always shied away from socks because I found the heels so cumbersome. This is an absolute game changer. I heard about this from Julia of The Happy Knitting Podcast.
You are so welcome!
Thank you a thousand times over! What an easy peasy heel to use!!! Love this tutorial. Your explanation was more than understandable- very descriptive! No assumptions for beginners to be perplexed by .👍🏼💪🏼
i’m not new to Shadow wrap heel as I learned it on another TH-cam site but I absolutely love this heel and I enjoyed your video as well. I will refer to your videos from now on. They are so educational. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this amazing blessing! I have been looking for an easier heal. Truthfully I was about to give up. I really appreciate all your hard work to help. I hope you have a blessed day☺️
This is so helpful. I can’t wait to try this heel. Thank you so much from a novice sock knitter. This is a game changer.
Love your tutorial!! What a great heal! I cannot wait to try it. And you explain everything so well. Loved following along with you!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just discovered this tutorial of uyours, have watched lots but this is a game changer. I'm a new sock knitter and of course, I'm addicted.....
Denise you made that sock heel look so simple ..thank you. Your voice is so calming and easy to listen to and actually seeing you knit makes the instructions very clear. Thank you for such wonderful tutorials. xx
EVERYTHING about this video/tutorial is spot on AMAZING!!! From your real time knitting for us, to your calming voice. You are so patient I felt like I was sitting with you at home and having a private lesson.. Thank you so much can't wait to give this a try. Buying pattern now..

You are so welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful!!!
This is the best knitting tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this tutorial! Just decided to try it on a test knit sock and it is FAST and easy!!! Love it!
THANK YOU. I have tried to learn to knit a GSRH from many other videos, and (after many frustrating hours) have NEVER been able to do it correctly. This is the first video that explained the process clearly. My heel came out perfectly. You are a fantastic teacher.
You are so welcome! This makes me so happy to hear!!
Thank you for this video. It was great! I'm a visual learner and you made knitting this heel seem so simple. I love your tutorials and I learn so much from you. I can't wait to try this short row heel method.
I’m an experienced knitter and I have been using the Fish Lips Kiss heel method. This technique is superior! And I don’t have to do the dreaded “ Boomerang” row. Your voice is so soothing and your technique and explanation so clear. Thank you so much! I’m sure this will be my go-to heel technique in the future.God bless you .
You are very welcome. Thank YOU!!
Your videos are my favorite. Your voice is so calming and you show every step so clearly. I come back to this video for all of my sock heels now. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you, Denise..such an easy way to knit it and a beautiful finish. Suzette
My favorite teacher!!
Always very clear instructions..
Thank you
Wow, thank you SO MUCH!!!
Your voice is so clear, calming, encouraging, and humble. Thank you! I stumbled on your channel after I struggled to follow other’s videos on short row heels. I found your way to be so perfect for my brain! 😮😅 Keep teaching us-you are the best! God bless
Wow, thank you so much!
Just found your videos! Thank goodness! Your teaching style is wonderfully perfect. No nonsense easy, explanations and tone of voice is excellent. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank YOU!!!
Just finished my first shadow wrapped heel. I'm loving this method. Thanks so much!
Oh wauw Denise, you’re such a great teacher, thanks so much for this tutorialvideo!!😊
You are so welcome Lian!
Thank you so very much for this great video! Not only are your directions clear and understandable, but your sweet manner is a delight to watch/listen to. Thanks again!
The best tutorial to date, the most easy heel to knit, thanks so much for your wonderful lesson 👍🏼😉🧶
Thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. You are so clear in your directions and have such a soothing voice. I have knitted several pair of “vanilla” socks and wanted to try something new. I think the shadow wrap heel will be my next adventure.
Fantastic demo of a great heel that I plan to try next time I make socks. Thanks so much for showing us this, Denise.
