Product Information

Change to 3.5mm needles. At this point, change to a small circular, magic loop or divide the stitches evenly across three or four DPNs according to preference. To knit your stitches onto the circular needle, just use it in place of the DPN for the next row. This row is your set up row which gets you to the middle of your heel with stitches left on your needle on either side. You are going to work the stitches in the middle of your needle all the time, bringing one stitch in from either side on every other row to create a V-shaped heel.

Continue to knit each round until desired length before start of heel (for me, this is 48 rounds in total including the rib). Row 1: K2, *Sl1, K1* until you have 22 stitches on your needle, turn (slip the stitch by sliding it from one needle to the other without knitting it). then join into a circle by bringing the needle with the working yarn around and knitting into the start of the round. Place a marker over your needle so that you know where your round starts and finishes. You’ll be able to sew up the small gap where the join is later when you sew in your tail end.

Continue in this way, adding one stitch to each row until all your stitches are worked across your needle – eg, Sl1, P8, P2tog, P1; Sl1, K9, SSK, K1 etc. Hold the two DPNs with your left hand. Insert the wool needle purl-wise into the first stitch on the front DPN and pull the yarn through. Don’t take the stitch off the DPN. If you are knitting with a 30cm circular needles, you will need to change to 3.5mm DPNs to start the heel flap. then pull the yarn through the loop as if you were knitting an ordinary stitch and there’s your new stitch!

Round 1: K to 3 sts before the marker, K2tog, K1, slip marker, knit to next marker, slip marker, K1, SSK, K to marker.Round 3: K1, SSK, K to 3 sts before marker, K2tog, K1, slip marker, K1, SSK, K to 3 sts before marker, K2tog, K1 Repeat 2 and 3 until you get to the last two stitches on the DPNs. You can see how the Kitchener stitch creates a new row of “knitting” so that there is no seam on your toes.
