Short Row Heels and Toes Tutorial

Using our Basic crochet sock pattern we will show you how to do a short row heel/toe.
This pattern will cover 3 styles of socks parts are interchangeable with each sock. I will give the basics so you can create you own custom made sock.
Short row heel:
(decrease)
at beg sc across 14(15,17) sc, ch1, turn
sc across 28(30,34) sc, ch1, turn
sc across 27(29,33) sc, ch 1, turn....
continue working one less st every row until you have 14(16,18) sc
(increase)
*You are always leaving 1 stitch at the end of your row(s) unworked.

to increase you will reverse what you just worked.
1. Sc 15, dec1, sc1, ch1, turn
(you will dec into the first "bump" and the next unworked stitch "bump", sounds confusing but what you are doing is just adding 1 stitch but eliminating a whole in your heel.)

2. Sc16, dec1, sc1, turn
work in pattern til you once again have 28,20,34 sts

You will see you have a nice "cup shape" heel/toe. These are very comfortable to wear.

Now you will be on the RS. sc across the back of the heel,
