Today’s knitting lesson at the shop was socks. Turning the heel has always been a problem because folks get lost on which row they’re on. There is a simple solution to this problem.

After following the instructions for the first two rows of heel turn you only need to look for the “gaps” caused by the decrease and knit one more. When working across the row, decrease the two stitches that cause the “gap”, and then knit one more.

Continue repeating this back and forth across the heel turn and when there are no more “gaps” you’re done. No more counting the rows and getting lost!
