Class 13: Garter Stitch Heel Flap with Dutch/Square Heel Turn
In Today's class we will be learning how to knit a garter stitch heel flap with a Dutch (aka. square) heel turn. This tutorial explores the beauty, comfort and durability of applying garter stitch to the heel flap and Dutch/square heel turn. Stockinette stitch options for the heel turn are also demonstrated. If you understand the basics of sock knitting and want to try something new, then you will really enjoy this class.
The Dutch Heel, also known as a square heel, maintains the same width of the turned heel from beginning to end and has a squared look once completed. Essentially, stitches from the center third of the heel flap will continue through the heel turn as stitches from the sides are decreased; this creates a band under the heel.
This tutorial is featured in my new sock pattern, ALACRITY SOCKS
available on Ravelry and my website, earthtonesgirl.com

Such a great tutorial. You are my favorite sock knitting teacher! Your tutorials are so informative and I always learn so much. Your voice is so calming and you're so encouraging. Thanks so much for ALL of your sock knitting tutorials. 😊 You are the BEST!
Aww, thank you SO MUCH Diane!!!
I just happen to have a sock that is ready for a heel and, lo and behold! I get a notification that you have a new video posted for a beautiful heel. Meant. To. Be. 🤎
Oh my gosh. You need to know this is an old lady who has made a LOT of socks in my day. But I’d totally forgotten how to turn a heal. Totally forgot. You rescued me with your clear explanation and caused all the fog to go away.
I’m so glad it was helpful!!
You’ve inspired me to break out of my rut and try this heel. With your clear instructions, I feel confident of success!❤
That makes me so happy to hear!!!
I just heard about ur YT sock tutorial from a girl in Ireland. I looked at this project and it's a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing.
That absolutely blows me away. Thank you so much for coming over and watching!!
Getting back into sock knitting after a stressful few months, and heading into the next few stressful months.. your tutorials are relaxing, and the un-rushed pace is incredibly helpful
Denise you are an amazing teacher! Thank you for your time and talent.
Aww, thank YOU Heather!!
Had to stop n tell you, you have such a beautiful voice! Ok, back to learning 😊
Aww, thank you Rosemary!! 🥰
You are my go to sock pattern! Thanks for the new to me tutorial.
You are so welcome!
As always soooo good,you have the knowledge, the voice and the skill to teach in such a way to make everyone confident to have a go. I always enjoy your films and when I see a new one available yay 👏👏👏 time to sit and soak up everything you share xxx
Can’t wait to try this heel on my next pair of socks. I learned how to knit socks from your amazing tutorials! 😊
Thank you Tracey!!
Thank you Denise. I have been curious about a square heel so this comes at the perfect time ! Also appreciate the excellent twisted stitch/hole tips. You’ve really perfected the art of sock knitting! Can’t wait to cast on my next pair. 😃
Thank YOU Victoria!! I hope you enjoy it!!!
Thank you, friend. I love all you class series. It feels like we are in the same room.
Thank you so much for your video tutorials! One if these days I will shake my fear of socks! You make it look so easy, but I somehow manage to mess it up! 😮 I've only made one pair, but it took me three years to complete the pair! 😂
Youre welcome!! And my thought is, there are much bigger and scarier things in life than knitting a sock. Kick that fear to the curb and try again...
I remembered that this pattern was going to drop soon...I've been watching for it. Thanks for the companion tutorial!
You’re welcome!!
I’m so anxious to try this method ❤ I’ve only made one pair of socks in my life. But I messed up the heel in one sock. Which kind of burst my bubble, to attempt another pair. 😊 you make it seem so easy ! Clear instructions are appreciated, when you tell us to carry on... I don’t feel like you’ve left me hanging to figure out the rest. Lol Thank you
Loved loved loved the video and the details of your pattern. This is officially my Fav sock pattern. I'm making all my future socks with this pattern
Oh I'm so happy you like it!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! I have been so resistant to heel flap and turn, but I am very much looking forward to this method
You're so welcome!!! So glad you give it a try!
Holy cow!! This heel is great!!! Thanks!!! 💕💕💕
You're very welcome 😊
Very interesting square heel that I have never seen before. Definitely going to give this a go on my next pair. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome!
Well, I’ll be doing this right away, Denise! Plus, I picked up a couple of f&g heel tips I haven’t seen before. Thank you so much! 😊
You are so welcome Alison!!
This is a totally new heel to me! Very intriguing. Also, watching your videos is like watching Bob Ross painting…it’s sooo relaxing like ASMR. 🧘🏻♀️
So its like modified short rows. Cool! I just started another pair of short sox...i use 2.5 mm needles and 56 sts. I will do the math and try it. So excited because its everything i like about short rows and none if the crazy! Wahoo!
Just a question i have never been brave enough to act on: Is there a way give the heel bone a st, slip st squishy bottom? Us oldies could really get into that.
Yes, you can do a slip stitch on the heel but the nature of garter stitch is very squishy so this may work for you.
I just found you as Natalie of @knittynatty recommended you! fabulous tutorial! I can’t thank you enough! This is such a wonderful tutorial! I love your real time method!
Denise, you are such a GREAT teacher!! Your knitting is so even and so beautiful! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing. Your tutorial is clear and inspirational. You are AWESOME!!
Thank you so very much. I’m so glad you enjoy them.
Oh my, will try this for sure! Looks so neat and tidy. You leave no stone unturned. Thank you for opening so many windows and doors for sock knitters. Your calming voice convinces me I’m capable of knitting this heel. 💕🧶🤗
Great video. I've knit about 35 pairs of socks and have done heel flap and gusset on 2. After this I'm going to try this heel on my next pair. Thanks so much 😊
Thank you!!!
I have learned so much from your videos. You are an excellent teacher. What I am wondering is, do you have a video for short row sock heel? Thank you for all of the tutorials
Denise, You are an amazing teach and your spirit is wonderful. I always enjoy listening to your wonderful and informative podcast on socks and life. I truly wish I could see you teach in person, what a wonderful I would have and such a gift. I knitted my 1st pair of socks for my Dad when I was 16 for his birthday, they were a pair of arguyals and he loves them so much. Your voice is so soft and very easy to listen to as well. So great full I found you last year. Thank you Ginny
Aww, thanks so much Ginny!!
Thank you so very much Denise for this great tutorial! You explain it so very well, I will defenitely try this heel ❤
You are so welcome!
I had to cast on immediately after watching your tutorial. And I have completed one sock. I love the heel and it fits so well. Thank you for the demonstration
Love this heal. Can't wait to try it.
Thank you! You are a great teacher! Have a Happy Mother's Day Denise!
Thank you So much!!
Everytime I watch one of your videos and that music comes on it just makes me smile a feel VERY happy. What’s the name of that tune. Love watching you and learning so much from you. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!!!! You're made my day!!!
And I'm so glad you enjoy it!! The music is from a Epidemic Sound, a copyright free music site.
I just ordered 2 24” knitting needles and some yummy yarn Denise. You have really started something for me lol I have granddaughters who want me to knit socks for them so here I go lol Thank you and appreciate all your video’s.😊Also I’m sure you have been told this before but I find you’re very explicit in your tutorials.
OMG, I'm saving this one! I do afterthought heels because I hadn't found a heelflap and gusset I liked. I'm going to try this one! Love your podcast. You always teach something new and interesting. You go girl!
I just completed THE best heel flap I’ve ever done, thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I had watched the sock course you had put out several years ago, but had forgotten so many of your wonderful tips and tricks, and this was a wonderful refresher!
Thank you so much for watching Joanne. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for this tutorial. It is so well explained ! I like your channel. It's very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these tutorials. I love love love them.
Another Great tutorial! Now I must try the Dutch heel on my next pair of socks! Thanks Denise!
Loved this! Now to work it as TaaT 🎉
What a great video. I can't wait to try both types. I also really like all the yarns you used, especially the one at the end! Thank you.
Thank you for a great tutorial. I love this heel and look forward to trying it. Thank you for showing the count on the garter stitch ridge.
Thank you!!! A mystery solved. Now I see the perfect sense of the sock
heel.
I’m learning something new!!! Thank you so much for making this less scary! God Bless you and all yours 🙏🏽
You are so welcome
Definitely will try this heel. Thank you for this tutorial.
You’re very welcome!!
You are a fantastic teacher! I got into knitting about 2 months ago because I suddenly became obsessed with socks! I wanted to learn new techniques for different looks and I came across your video (it was recommended to me) and I am now going to watch the entire playlist on this because I have learned more from you in this one video than I have in the 230942039420394 videos that I have been watching to learn how to knit socks!
I am eager to learn from this series because I am looking for the "formula" for socks. I can see that there is one when you're talking about number of stitches in the beginning which will determine how many stitches you're using for the heel flap and then heel turn. I really want to learn this for pattern writing purposes. I am an indie yarn dyer and sell my yarn on Etsy but eventually, I want to pair patterns with the yarn to sell as kits. Makes it easier for crafters to have a kit: yarn and pattern in one shot!
Thank you for this tutorial and all the videos in this playlist!
230942039420394 is A LOT of vidoes, 😂!!!! I'm so glad you stuck with it and found your way to mine!!! You are so welcome here and I hope you enjoy the rest of my classes!!!
So glad to hear your earthy voice while I work on a project. Now I'll buy the pattern and knit a pair while watching the video.
Your no fear tutorials helped me tackle a pair of socks in a knitted sock book I bought. I knit thru the back loop of the picked up stitches automatically!
Thank you so much Valerie!!!
You are such a GREAT teacher and very patient. I can’t wait to try this new heel ❤
Thank you Denise for your very well done tutorials, much appreciated. Wow and free, incredible! Blessings to you all, take care friends.
You are welcome Michele!!
It is so therapeutic watching you knit. Thank you.
Thank you so much. That's so nice!!!
Brilliant! I LOVE the way you teach. Can’t wait to try this heel flap. Thank you SO much.
Aww, thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Outstanding! I have never worked either a Dutch nor a garter heel before and I feel completely confident in how to do it. I also love how you eliminate the gusset holes at the instep edges and it will make my socks so much neater now.
That makes me so happy to hear!!! Thank you!!
Thank you, thankyou, Denise for showing this garter stitch heel flap and dutch square heel. I think this would a fabulous heel flap and heel turn for a beginner like me. I have tried so many different type and I am going to give his one a try.Exellent tips. I can't wait to try it. Thank you.
You are very welcome Sandi!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
I have made about eight pairs of different sock patterns. I have learned so many good tips from this video!! Thank you for the tutorial!
You're very welcome Carol!! So happy you enjoyed it!!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing your tips with the various Dutch heel techniques!
You are very welcome Renee!!
I never fail to learn something new and interesting about sock knitting in addition to the particular skill/technique you are teaching. Congrats on another fabulous pattern release! harpingJanet
Thank you so much, Janet!!
Thank you for the great tutorial. I will try this heal on my next pair of socks. 🇬🇧
I have 4 socks on the needles but had to cast-on another one for this fabulous heel. This one also top-down as my preferred is toe-up...thank you for teaching me Denise!!!
Sounds like you're an addicted sock knitter!! I love it!!!
Awesome Awesome tutorial you rock ❤
This is a must-have, quality tutorial. ❤🧶
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for the very clear video. My next sock will have this heel put in 😍🤩

ElaineXo 🏡🏡⚘
Thanks so much Elaine!!
Thank you once again for a very clear and easily understood lesson. I have never used this heel before. I will have to try it
You are very welcome!!! So glad you enjoyed it!!
I love this so much! The scariest part of socks is the heel for me. Even though I have knit several pairs. I am so excited to knit one of your heels. Due to these tutorials, I feel like I can do it! Now I have to decide if I want to do this one or your shadow wrap heal first! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Will give this heel a try on my next pair for sure!! thanks for a clear and well explained tutorial yet again!!
You are very welcome!!
Denise, you never disappoint with your tutorials! I am going to give these heels a try especially as I have higher arches and why not experiment, right? I have to say that the sock yarn colorway is glorious and it made me want Neapolitan ice cream 😂 I guess that's what comes of watching this at night after dinner.
Thank you. A great class.
You're very welcome!
Trying this heel definitely! Thank you, Denise!
Hello from St.Louis Missouri! I am going to have to try the heel flap, it looks very unique. Thanks for the great video.
You are welcome Janet!!
What a fantastic tutorial, Denise....thanks ever so much!
Thank YOU for watching Carol!!
Great video and tutorial.Thank you ❤
You are very welcome Linda!!
Fantastic tutorial! I will definitely try this heel - high instep. Good knitting to you.
Thank you Lynn! Good knitting to you too!!
Oh my goodness, just did this heel today and it was so easy and looks wonderful! 🎉❤
YAY!! That makes me so happy to hear!!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast I sent a photo of my finished sock to my friend and she loved the heel. 😁
Another excellent tutorial! I can’t wait to try this heel
This is great! Even though I love the shadow wrap heel, I sometimes do flap and gusset heels but I hate the. Slip stitch row followed by a purl row. I tend to make a lot of mistakes on the slip stitch rows. This is so much nicer!
Thank you Cathy! I'm so glad you like it!!
Blessings ❤thank you 😊
Thank you! I was hoping for a tutorial like this😍
You are so welcome!!
Most excellent, Denise……THANK YOU!
You are very welcome Sandy!!
This is awesome, cant wait to try it on my next pair😊 Thank you
YAY!! So glad you liked it!!
Wonderful class. I just started a pair of socks and I’m going to try this heel flap and turn. I usually knit the slip stitch heel flap. I think I will really like this. Not sure yet which I will use-garter or stockinette. Thank you for this class.
Thank you Wynona!!! So glad you enjoyed it!!! Happy Sock Knitting!!
BRAVA! Another spectacular video class. I love listening to your voice it is so calming and friendly and can make a sometimes new (and possibly frustrating) task seem doable. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and love of the craft with all of us. You are an amazing human! *)
Thank you so much Eileen!!!
Hi D Love it thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are very welcome Deloris!!
Love this heel! I'm gonna try it soon! Thank you❤
Thank you for watching!!! So glad you like it!!
I love your Videos so much!!!! Is there any way you can do this tutorial showing how to knit it toe up?? That is my favorite way to knit socks mainly because I like to not worry about running out of yarn and I dislike seaming the toe!
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoy them! As of right now I don't have plans to do a tutorial for this heel toe up. I do know it can be substituted in a toe up heel flap and gusset sock pattern.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!!!! Your support means so much to me!!!
I learn so much from your tutorials! I was looking for a sock pattern with a 'cushy' heel! Curious if you have a heel pattern/idea for double stranded heel so it's a bit thicker for boots or a hubby who wears through the heel! I appreciate you and your sharing of your knowledge! BTW I always love knitting with your podcast or tutorial 'cause then I feel like I am knitting with a friend! :)
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you have found my tutorials so helpful. Unfortunately I do not have a pattern for a double stranded heel but you may be able to find one on Ravelry.
I love this heel. Is it possible to do this dutch heel starting from toes and working to cuff?
Thank you Denise , it is again a great tutorial you have made . I have a question in the garterstitch heel turn you uses on both sides k2tog , which are right leaning decreases. In the stockinette heel turn you use k2 tog and p2tog which is a left leaning decrease.
Is there a difference between the two ways ? As a knitter from the Netherlands ( a Dutch knitter ) I have learned the Dutch heel turn or square heel to use SSK on the knit rows and a p2tog on the purl rows.
Love it, Denise! Two questions. First, how do the numbers change for the heel turn if you are using 56 or 72 as your stitch count? Second question - do you think the garter heel turn provides more, less or the same durability? I always worry that the heel turn may wear out quicker as the heel flap has the benefit of the slip stitches, while the heel turn is just stocking stitch. Thanks for another very clear tutorial. My very first socks knit at the start of COVID were your No Fear Shorties (although I made a regular leg) and the the Soxploration socks added to my repertoire. I think I have now knit about 25 pairs-still learning and trying new techniques and patterns and still a long ways to go, but improving all the time. Thank you for being such a patient, calm and generous teacher!
Thank you Jennifer. The answer to your first question is in the patttern which is available on Ravelry or on my website, www.earthtonesgirl.com
And there is no absolute answer to your second question but I can say that the nature of the garter stitch does lend itself to being a very sturdy fabric that will hold up well.
Thank you so much for buying my patterns and supporting my channel. It means so to me!!
Happy Sock Knitting!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Thanks, Denise. I went on Ravelry and found the new pattern and bought it! Next socks- garter stitch heel coming up!
Excellent tutorial! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Jennifer!! So glad you enjoyed it!!
I learned how to knit socks from your tutorials and am so happy to see this one! Your teaching is great and so easy to follow. One question, do you decrease every round or dec 1 round, knit 1 round? it sounds like you're saying decrease every round? Thanks so much!!
Thank you very much TonyaLynn.
This tutorial is to demonstrate the basic technique, and how to knit this heel. All of the actual instructions to knit a pair of socks, using this method is the Alacrity Socks pattern. Which is linked in the description box below the video.
You are dynamite. I love your heel method.
Thank you! 😊
Can this pattern be knitted on DPN's? I like to switch up every now and again! My go to way to knit socks is magic loop! TIA
Absolutely!!!
This looks amazing and I think I’m going to try it right now. Can you please tell me what video you have to show how you weave in as you go? Thanks so much!!
It's listed in the description box. 😊
Thank you Dana!!
@@DanaBarbieri I wasn't able to find it at first- i was thinking it was a separate video.
@@susankrisch337 hi Susan. Yes, it's a separate video. I hope you see it. 🙂
Is it possible to do a Dutch heel turn in a toe up sock, I love the look of it. Thanks for an amazing tutorial
I am about 99% sure that it can be done toe up!
I can't wait to try this smoochy heel on my next pair of socks. Do you think I could do it on a toe up model? Thank you so much 😊
Yes, I think you can you!! Have fun!!! And you are so welcome!!!
