i hope everyone is enjoying the first part of the Dragon Scale Christmas Stocking that I posted a few days ago. Today I'm going to add the next section after the body of the stocking. This is where we are going to start the heel flap then turn the heel.
Heel Flap with Heel Stitch
To set up the heel flap we are going to use the CC (white) and knit across the heel sts (RS). Next purl across the heel sts (WS). I do this just to establish my color change, if you feel comfortable skipping this step by all means go right ahead and just begin with row 1 and row 2 of the heel flap.
On ndl one join yarn with (CC) white, you should have 36 sts on this ndl
First: Knit across row (RS)
Second: Purl across row (WS)
Now begin the heel flap rows:
(RS) Row 1: *slip 1 st pwise wyib, k1. Repeat from * to end of row
(WS) Row 2: slip 1 st pwise, purl to end of row
Repeat these 2 rows until until 30 rows are complete, end with a row 2
Now we are going to turn the heel.
Turn Heel
The row will begin with 36 sts and end with 20 sts. We will still be using the (CC) white.
*note* sl1= slip 1 pwise wyib. This pertains to the RS rows.
(RS) Row 1: k20, ssk, k1, turn
(WS) Row 2: sl1 pwise, p5, p2tog, p1, turn
(RS) Row 3: sl1, k6, ssk, k1, turn
(WS) Row 4: sl1 pwise, p7, p2tog, p1, turn
(RS) Row 5: sl1, k8, ssk, k1, turn
(WS) Row 6: sl1 pwise, p9, p2tog, p1, turn
(RS) Row 7: sl1, k10, ssk, k1, turn
(WS) Row 8: sl1 pwise, p11, p2tog, p1, turn
(RS) Row 9: sl1, k12, ssk, k1, turn
(WS) Row 10: sl1 pwise, p13, p2tog, p1, turn
(RS) Row 11: sl1, k14, ssk, k1, turn
(WS) Row 12: sl1 pwise, p15, p2tog, p1, turn
(RS) Row 13: sl1, k16, ssk, k1, turn
(WS) Row 14: sl1 pwise, p17, p2tog, p1, turn
(RS) Row 15: sl1, k18, ssk, turn
(WS) Row 16: sl1 pwise, p18, p2tog, turn
20 sts remain
That completes the heel flap and the turning of the heel.
Please let me know if there are any problems or errors you come across and have fun with this, I'll be posting part 3 very soon. :)
