Feleegle heel socks

Every sock knitter knows the thrill of experimenting with new heel designs, and this unique variation on the beloved Fleegle heel is sure to inspire! Featuring an innovative rectangular gusset at the back of the heel, this pattern ensures an exceptional fit and comfort. To enhance clarity, I’ve created this version in simple blocks of color, making it easy to visualize the construction at a glance. When worked on a striped sock, using the color that appears on the needle at the time of the heel turn, you can achieve an adorable bootstrap effect that adds a delightful twist to your sock collection.

I’ve designed this pattern as a straightforward stockinette toe-up boot or house sock, providing a versatile foundation that accommodates a wide variety of sizes and is quick to knit—perfect for cozy winter socks! Feel free to incorporate ribbing or decorative pattern stitches into your design; just be sure to adjust your stitch count as necessary to maintain the right fit. Additionally, I’ve chosen to present the heel instructions as a versatile recipe format, alongside specific numbers for this sock, so you can effortlessly adapt it to your favorite sock pattern.

These charming socks are knit in the round from the toe-up, allowing for ease of crafting and a seamless finish that sock enthusiasts will appreciate. Dive into a world of creativity and comfort with this exciting pattern, and let your knitting needles bring a fresh touch to your sock drawer!
