This class is perfect for sock knitters who want to demystify the many heel options out there. I will guide you through the most commonly used heels—heel flap and gusset, afterthought, and short row—as well as unique options like the Dutch heel, Sweet Tomato Heel, and more. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of which heel works best for your feet and how to confidently swap heels in your favorite patterns.
