Dutch Heel No1 (trad.)

I designed and knit a traditional style woollen socks with the traditional style heel. I used different shades of Novita 7 veljestä yarn (75 % wool, 25% polyamide) (100g = 200m).

Notice that this heel is not exactly the basic plain Dutch Heel. This is the thicker and stronger version of it and how we traditionally make it here up in the North. This version lasts in a hard use also. It is made like the Dutch Heel but in the following difference: 

1. every 2nd row - purl
2. every 2nd row slip-knit-slip until there is just 1 left and that one you always knit
