Boomerang heel socks (traditional method) with needles, description, tutorial

Solid wool yarn is the best choice of yarn for knitting socks. It’s good if it contains some synthetic fibers, as the product will last longer. When choosing needles for knitting, you should focus on the thickness of the yarn. Socks and the boomerang heel are usually not made with a crochet hook, so you need to learn to use knitting needles. TRADITIONAL METHOD The first method is traditional and the most common. Below is a step-by-step master class with photos of the process. Step one. You should start knitting the boomerang heel after the cuff and leg of the sock are ready. The basis of such a heel is the so-called partial knitting. You should start knitting the "boomerang" with short rows. In the first row, you need to knit thirty-one knit stitches. Step two. Turn the knitting, make a yarn over, then knit the next row with purl stitches. The row should not be knitted to the end, but leave one stitch on the knitting needle.

Step three. The knitting should be turned again, make a yarn over and knit the row with knit stitches. Leave one last stitch as well.

Thus, the knitting of the heel gradually narrows, taking on a trapezoidal shape. On the vertical needles, the slipped stitches should alternate with yarn overs. You should knit until there are ten stitches left on the working knitting needle. Step four. Knit one round. The slipped stitches and yarn overs should be knitted together. To achieve a uniform density of knitting, it is recommended to position the stitch above the yarn over before knitting it. The stitches of the round should be knit stitches. After this, you need to knit another round. The yarn overs should be positioned under the knit stitches and knitted together. Half of the "boomerang" is ready. Step five. The second half of the heel, of course, should be symmetrical. The central ten stitches are knitted as knit stitches. Step six. Turn the knitting, make a yarn over, knit the row with knit stitches. Step seven. Repeat steps five and six. Yarn overs and stitches at the end of the rows should be knitted together. It is important to pay attention to ensure that the yarn over at the end of the purl row is on the purl side of the heel when it is knitted. Continue knitting until there are thirty-two stitches on the needles. After that, you need to knit the boomerang heel in rounds.

The heel called "boomerang" is done. The heel made with this technique looks very elegant.
