Dutch Heel No2 (var.)

I designed and knit a traditional style woollen socks with the variation of the traditional style heel. I used Kotikulta's Tuokio yarn (75% wool, 25% polyamide) (100g = 200m) for the basic red shade. For the purple stripes I used left over Novita 7 veljestä yarn (75 % wool, 25% polyamide) (100g = 200m). And for the light purple shades I used left over Lankava's Alli yarn (75% wool and 25% polyamide) (100g = 200m). Alli yarn is from the disappointing trial of seeking new woollen sock yarn. By the way, since that it still has not happen. The heels last, when you have a proper yarn for it! Alli socks are the 1st and so far the last pair of which the heel has not last in daily use!

These socks have a variation of the traditional Dutch Heel. It is as strong as the original version but creates a bit different look. 

In this variation of The Dutch Heel (trad.) you make it all just a different rhythm in the following difference:

    1. row: purl

    2. row: slip 1st one, knit-slip-knit until knit the last one

    3. row - purl

    4. row: slip 1 st one, slip-knit-slip until knit the last one

    repeat 1-4 rows
