Classes
Fancy Heel Flaps
Many sock heel flaps are knit identically with the ubiquitous heel stitch, but why leave all the patterning on the leg and instep? In this class, we will work with variations of heel stitch, adding color and garter or seed stitch to the sides for increased interest. You’ll learn how to jazz up those plain socks with fancy heels.
This class is taught by: Charlene Schurch.
