Actually, I use two heels that are similar in theory. Both increase for heel ease before the heel turn instead of making a flap and picking up stitches. Here is a link to two sock patterns that use the heel I usually use (I call it a “non-stop heel”). I usually use the “gusset-style” (that puts the heel ease at the back of the sock) on textured socks that are reminiscent of Gansey sweaters.

My name is so difficult for most people. I simply enjoy sharing the technique with other knitters and don’t need credit for it unless someone wants to mention it. I wanted a heel technique that would make a sharp turn but not be fiddley to work like a peasant heel or a flap heel. I experimented until I got to working heels like this.

Do have fun knitting,

If I read the above correctly, the gusset style of this sock is your own invention, adapted from gansey sweater underarm construction? If so, have you named this construction, or should it be called “the Misegades heel” like we now have “the Fleegle heel” for toe-up socks?

I first encountered it in a pattern by Anne Campbell, who said she got it from r Tongue River Farm Sock Collection. They’re the best-fitting socks I’ve ever made! I’m going to substitute this heel into other patterns whenever possible, and want to give proper credit for it.

Row 8—k52 (distribute to 4 needles), Join to work in the round: overlap last 3 sts on right needle behind first 3 sts on left needle then k2tog three times (1 st from front needle with 1 st from back needle each time).

Distributing the stitches to the four needles makes the strip of knitting flexible so you can make the start of the round meet the end of the round. You will be overlapping the three sts at the beginning of the row (on the first needle) in front of the three sts at the end of the row (on the 4th needle). Another way to do it would be to use an extra needle as follows (slip as if to purl):

• Slip the last 3 sts of the row onto the 4th (needle without knitting them).
• Slip the first 2 sts of the row off of the first needle onto the extra needle.
• Holding the welt so that the first needle meets the last needle, slip the last stitch of the row (it is unknit and at the left end of the fourth needle) onto the first needle.
• Then slip the closest of the 2 sts that are on the extra needle back on to the first needle.
• Slip the next stitch off of the 4th needle onto the first needle.
• Then slip the remaining stitch from the extra needle next to that.
• Slip the next stitch off of the 4th needle onto the first needle.

You will have rearranged the stitches so that every-other one is from the last (4th) needle. Work k2tog three times.

I hope this helps. Do let me know if it is still not clear.
