Class 10: Shadow Wrap Short Row Heel in Contrasting Color
In Today's class we will be learning how to knit the shadow wrap short row heel in a contrasting color and how to weave in ends as you knit. This heel is knit with a series of twin and triple stitches to "build" each side of the short row heel. It is very easy to follow, there is very little counting and and it creates a perfectly symmetrical heel that has a deep and comfortable fit.

I’ve done many shadow wrap heels and I love them - this was my first contrast shadow wrap heel and I gave a little squeal when I tightened the ends after the heel was done and there are NO HOLES. This is so wonderful! Thank you so much Denise!
You are so very welcome!!!
I have only just begun to knit & I really want to learn to make socks. Watching this was like watching a magic trick. I had no idea how it was done until now. You made it look so easy that I think I might be able to do this. Thank you for such clear instructions.
I knitted my first pair of socks using Denise ‘s shadow wrap heel pattern and they turned out really well. I watched a lot of the No Fear Sock Knitting Class videos before embarking on the journey and they were really helpful. Good luck!
I've been knitting socks for years but have found myself following this series and watching videos when I need to refresh my memory. I've bought both patterns and will continue to buy them as Denise publishes them.
Thank you for all of the time and effort that you put into your videos. By far, you have the clearest and most detailed tutorials for the heels. I find myself repeating your mantra, “take your time, don’t rush, this isn’t a race”, anytime I get to a difficult spot in any of my knitting. Thank you again, you are wonderful and much appreciated ❤️
Thank you very much
Thanks so much for these great tutorials ! I now use the shadow wrap heel whenever I do a contrast heel. I usually knit toe up and it works great. My last few have not been with self striping yarn…. Just speckled. If you aren’t worried about stripes you don’t actually have to cut the MC. Just start back with the main colour on the row where you resolve the last triple stitch on the left… and continue through to the instep. Two less ends to weave in! Looking forward to what you figure out for the ‘blip’ on the left. Thanks again !
Absolutely invaluable teacher 🎉 I couldn’t have learned to knit beautiful socks without your clear instruction!
Thank you so much for your message and contribution to the channel!!! Your support means more than you can imagine!!! I'm so happy you've learned to knit socks!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I love the way you did this. Your voice was very clear, you didn’t go too fast for us to follow and your instructions were also clear and easy to follow. I believe I’ll be using this heel on my next pair of socks. 😊❤
Your videos and voice are SO SOOTHING! Thank you for a quiet, peaceful few minutes of the day.
Binge watching All your shadow wrap heel video. I was able to knit 1 3/4 inch of my ribbing!
Will bookmark for when I reach the heel.
Well done, very clear and concise. Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thanks you…your are such a blessing. I love this heal and again thank you for taking the time to put this instructional video together for us💕💕💕
Thank you Denise for this video. It was like a light bulb went off and I saw how easy it really can be to do a contrast color heel! Thank you again! I love that you do your video instruction in real time. It is so helpful!
Glad it was helpful Debbie!!
Thanks so much for yet another sock tutorial, Denise!
I have been knitting for years, and my favorite is knitting socks. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I love the short row heel ! Can't stop. Thank u Denise, thank u.
You are so welcome Gail.
I'm so happy I found this tutorial! I've been knitting for a few years and have only done afterthought heels and magic sock heel, I can't wait to start a pair of socks! And to watch all of your videos!
Welcome to my channel Rhonda!
Oh yes!! Now I can tidy up my ends and loose corner stitches as I go! Thank you so much Denise 😍
Excellent tutorial. As always you are a marvelous teacher. I’ve learned so much from your tutorials. Thanks 💕💕💕
Once again, a wonderful and informative tutorial Denise! I’m addicted to the Shadow Wrap Heel and love how easy it is to memorize. I’m also super excited that I can finally do a “Bullseye” heel using it. Cheers to you Denise and on to making more beautiful socks ❤️
Hello my friend,
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial. But I hate to tell you, you will NOT get the bullseye heel using this method. You knit the shadow wrap heel "back and forth" in short rows not in the round like an afterthought heel. So it will stripe but not the bullseye.
Brilliant!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I love how and what you are teaching us. Sooooo helpful. Your gentle, kind manner and presentation of awesome skills are hugely helpful, reassuring and 😊calming. On to my next pair of socks with a contrast heel! Can’t wait!
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!!
I truly appreciate your calm and confident teaching. Thank you,
You are so welcome Stephanie! Thanks for your lovely comment.
Thank you for a great tutorial!! I am new to sock knitting so I was petrified of the heel. I had your video on and worked with you. Appreciate the real time and slowness, it got me through. Followed you for the toe and Kitchener stitch. Now have the confidence to tackle sock two and I am sure I will be going down the sock rabbit hole. So many beautiful yarns.
You're so welcome!!! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Love your soothing voice and what a great way of weaving in the ends as you go! Thanks so much!
Thank YOU Marsha!!!
Hello Denise, I just found you, I knit for a few years now but I love to see how you do the little tricks . Your voice is a pleasant one to listen to too.....thanks for this tutorial. We are never to old to learn new stuff. greatings from the Netherlands, Liane
Thank you for such a comprehensive video. Your kindness and patience were lovely. You have changed my sock life lol
FYI: Roxanne Richardson has a sock technique video on how to do a contrast color heel *with out* cutting or breaking the main yarn. A sock game changer.
That’s the beauty of Knitting… having options and multiple ways to achieve the same goal!
OMG You make me want to knit socks. Fantastic tutorial.
Again a great tutorial Denise, thank you so much!!🥰
Genius! My new favorite heel and couldn’t have done the contrast heel without your help.
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear!!
Definitely a heel a have to try on my socks... I'm almost at the heel.. so I will try 👍🏻
You can do it! Just take your time!!
Thank you for these videos! I am a relatively new sock knitter and have been using FLK. This looks more efficient and easier to memorize....great!
You are so welcome Lisa!!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Have a great week everyone.
Best heel and tutorial EVER ……thank you sooooo much 🎉
You’re so welcome 😊
Wow. I wish I had watched your shadow wrap heel videos about 6 pairs of socks ago! I have been a FLK girl almost exclusively, but this heel really does have a couple things that make it even better. I also love the method of weaving in ends as you go. I'm so excited to put my next heel in!
Thanks Amber, I"m so glad you like it!!
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so very much.this is a beautiful heel.
I'm so glad you like it!!
Brilliant! I muddled through weaving in ends for the contrast heel as I did my first shadow wrap heel - this will make my next one so much easier. Thanks Denise.
Hello from Mounds Illinois. I have been knitting socks on nine inch circular needles and doing the heel flap and toe on dpns. I still have to learn magic loop. You do an amazing job knitting. I am going to learn how to knit a contrasting heel and magic loop.
Hello Denise, my name is Catie
Thanks to you, I now know how to knit socks. You are an amazing teacher.
I've only just learned to knit this Spring.
Next step....knitting the second sock lol
I love watching your channel and I'm happy to Subscribe
There are tutorials from 9 years ago about this heal, i didnt know the name but i love it.
Yah, here I am again still in 2021 class regarding the shadow wrap short heel in contrasting color. But, at long last I have accomplished my goal of learning this stitch WITH a contrasting color. Yippee. Will try to place my completed sock on your email? website? when I get the sock totally completed. Thank you Denise for teaching this class and every class. It is wonderful.
Hi Barbara,
As I tell everyone, there is no race so knit and enjoy the process!!!!
I'm so happy you like the heel!! Congrats on finishing it!!!
Thank you so much Denise. You are a fantastic instructor!
You are so welcome and thank YOU!!!!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
You're very welcome!
Excellent. Thank you Denise!
Beautiful! Thank you 🎉
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks so much for your tutorial - this is by far the nicest method I've found for turning a heel! I often get a lot of stress between the working heel stitches and the remaining across the instep, and read that holding a few instep stitches on either side of the working heel can really help reduce any enlarged stitches. Have you ever tried this while doing a shadow wrap heel?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for a good tutorial,you knitting is so neat.
😁🙌🏿😍👍🏿Thank you so much again for an enjoyable tutorial. I watched it in between preparing veg and cutting the grass🤣. I’ll watch again but hopefully I shall have a moment to knit. Well,I’m off now to start trimming the hedge at my allotment 🙃
Thanks so much for watching!! Hope you enjoyed your gardening.
Love your tutorials I am knitting you pattern right now will try contrast heels next time.
I'm so bummed I missed your Vogue class! I searched for it and saw it was this morning. I hope it went well!
So sorry you missed it Yuri.
Another well done & nicely explained tutorial! Thank you Denise!
You are so welcome!
Incredibly helpful Denise, as always! Thank you.
You are so welcome Maureen!
Wonderful demo! Great insights as usual. I always look forward to your videos.
I'm so glad you like them! Thank you Georgia!
You’re an amazing instructor, thank you so much.
You are so welcome Joye!
Perfect on the very first try. Thank you so much!
Denise,,,,,thank you!! Thank you,,,,,perfect follow🏙up to the first video,,,,
Been wanting to try this😎 and now i WILL!,!
IT'S GREAT,,,GOING TO give it a try as I have a pair of socks at the heel stage,,,,
Elaine😍🏡
You are very welcome Eric!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
You’re back! Yeah! Missed you
Excellent video Denise! I enjoy your videos so much! Will share my contrasting color heel on IG 😍
Awesome!! I’m working on your pattern TAAT right now. Thus was perfect timing. Happy dance!
Thank you so much for taking the time and providing such in-depth knowledge about socks! People must be tired of me referring them to your podcast series. I had started to do a shadow wrap short row heel on the two socks I’d knitted to that point and started…then stopped. Took it out and went back to assure that I really understood what I saw and heard. It would have been too easy to keep going and not been happy. I actually laughed to myself wondering how many times it took you to present it to your audience. It was so easy to take out the knitting and do the work. And then, because of the way my brain is wired, would the exact same thing be done on a ‘tube cranked sock’, when putting in the afterthought heel? I’m sorry If I sent you into another rabbit hole….if you haven’t already been there. I’m just secretly waiting for you to explore mittens in the same way to have covered socks! 🧐 A sincere Thank You! For being you! 💗
Hi Ann,
You're very welcome.
If you're asking if the shadow wrap heel can be used as an afterthought heel. I believe it can, though i have not knit it myself. Keep in mind that you will not get the bullseye effect if you are using self striping yarn.
Happy Sock Knitting,
Denise
Hello. I really enjoyed your tutorial on the shadow wrap heel. I love this heel and it fits! I will be knitting a summer top soon and it called for German short rows for the back. Do you have a tutorial on this? Also, I am having trouble picking up stitches to make a neat neck. Any suggestions? Thank you for all your help💕
Thank you. You are the best 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
Love your real time tutorials! Try this: instead of cutting contrast yarn, do a wrap and turn and purl back. The main color will be there to continue working in the round. I just tried it and it works!
Great tip! THanks so much!
Thanks for the great tutorial! I hope there will be a follow-up with some solutions for the one MC stitch! I noticed it on my socks too and my type-A personality has been struggling to make peace with it! Haha. Would love to be able to avoid it!
Thanks for the tutorial...I wasn't cutting my main color just dropping it like with the FLK...it became very confusing. Casting on a new sock while the process is still fresh!
You're a magician my friend!
I wish I actually were!!!! LoL...
Really good tutorial, thank you Denise 🥰
Thanks so much 😊! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome!! 💜🧦💜🧦💜
An extremely informative lesson, you explain your techniques so well. Thank you. Just a shame it was slightly out of focus.
Hi Jane,
Thanks so much for your message and compliment. I’m sorry that it was out of focus for you. I’ve watch this on a few screens because I always double check things like that and it seemed OK on my end. But thank you for letting me know.
Thank you for your tutorial. I knitted the shadow wrap short row heel with contrasting color but when I want to connect my main yarn to trap the stitch of the model of my sock which was one knit and one purl I really don’t know how to do it because I have to purl it…. Thank you for helping me
Hi Gloria, I think I sent you a link on how to weave in your ends in ribbing. And because you are using a rib pattern for the sock it will be very tricky to try to weave in the end as you go. You may have to do it at the end.
Amazing!! Love this
Thank you for your in depth instructions. I’m knitting “shorty” socks with a contrasting little cuff. The heel starts directly after the cuff.
For the main yarn I’m using a striped yarn. Would you suggest using a solid contrasting yarn for the Shadow Wrapped Heel and then using my striped yarn for the foot? I’m thinking that the stripes would look a little weird in the heel?
Apologies for my delayed reply!! YES!! I would definitely suggest using a solid color for the heel. The striping yarn will be a bit "off" if you continue on with it for the heel.
I love your videos. Thank you
Soooo helpful. Thanks very much.
Hi Denise ! I am off and running to do the Cozy Knitter Advent Socks now...... NO Fear - Confidence galore !!!!!! So......... I am thinking this IS the best contrast heel to do for this ? . Am I correct ? Again - your teaching is just superb - tutorials are sublime to follow and learn from. Thank you SO much. marcia
Hi Marcia, so happy to hear you are full of confidence! I don’t think there is any such thing as the best/perfect heel. It really does boil down to personal preference and fit.
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Thank you, Denise !
Love the heel. Can I use the change yarn and weave in ends just when changing balls of same colour?
Hi Paula, you can use this method for changing balls of the same color or for contrast color.
Excellent tutorial!
Awesome tutorial, thanks so much.
You are so welcome!!!
Thank you! I am on my third pair (one with contrast heel) with the shadow wrap heel and really like the construction and the fit. I do find that my stitches get sloppy on the purl side (stitches seem too tight and it is hard to find the leg) and don't know if this will improve with practice or if there is some technique for dealing with purl stitches (or maybe the issue is with the knit stitches on the other side). Am looking forward to seeing more about using this for toe construction.
This was fantastic, thank you 🥰
Thanks!
Thank you SO MUCH!!! Your support means more than you can imagine!!!
Thanks, so very clear.
You're welcome!
Great
I'm wundering if you could have woven in the new color on the previous round before starting the heel, so you have your new color ready to go and then on the new round (first of the heel) knit in (as you shown) the old color.
Hi Linda,
Yes, you could have woven in on the previous round. The method I shared is just what works for me. Definitely not the only way. That is the beauty of knitting...lots of options.
Until now my sock knitting efforts have been mediocre. I think this heel and your No Fear course will change that. Question, does this only work on top down socks or can you do the twins on the underside on the way up and the triplets on top toward the ankle on a toe up sock?
This heel can be worked top down and toe up in exactly the same way. No modifications are needed. Just follow the same instructions for both.
I just purchased your Soxploration sock pattern and am excited to start knitting it as soon as I get the yarn I need. Where would you recommend I order at? Thank you for your help Denise....I'm fairly new at this computer stuff too so hope it all goes well.
Love your teaching and podcasts.
Thanks so much for purchasing my pattern!!! I'm grateful!!! As for where to order yarn, that's part of the fun!! Finding and exploring all the online/brick and mortar shops!!! Have Fun!!
Hi Denise love love your channel - I’ve made my first socks using your video using two sets of circular needles top down. I would like to try toe up using these same needles. How would I search your channel to see if you have a class on this technique? Sincerely Rita
Hi Rita,
Congratulations on getting your first socks! I am so happy my videos were helpful to you. Unfortunately I do not have a toe up tutorial. You can still follow the basic instructions and apply them to a toe up pattern.
I have attached a link to a basic toe up sock pattern that’s available on Ravelry.

@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Ahh Txs so much ! I will have a look and you do so a wonderful job on your channel. Thanks so much
Hi Denise: love this tutorial so much! Can’t wait to try this heel. When doing the contrast heel could I just change to contrast color and weave ends in later? Any tips on that? Thanks!
Hi Marty,
Yes you can weave in the ends later. Knitter's choice. This video does show you how to weave in as you go but again when you do that is up to you.
Great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing! Do you additionally weave in all the ends with a tapestry needle?
Thank you very much Adéla.
To answer your question, No I do not do any additional weaving in of the ends. I just weave in as I knit then cut off the tails, leaving about 1/4 inch.
I love the look of this method so much! Thank you for the tutorial! Do you have any suggestions for altering the heel flap for a narrow heel? My ankle is a little thick, but my heel is narrow. Would I knit some together in the middle of the heel as I'm decreasing? Start the heel sooner and continue with decreases further than leaving ten in the middle? Something else? Thank you for any thoughts you may have! I'm a newbie to sock knitting! ❤️
Hi Yuri,
This shadow wrap heel does not have a heel flap. But if you want to make a heel flap more narrow you would decrease by multiples of 2 before you start. You can decrease in the center or the outer edges. How many decreases exactly I can not say it depends on the width of your heel. I would start with 2 stitches and move down from there until you find the number that fits you the best.
Hope that helps!!
👍Thank you love IT😊
I’ve been trying to mimic your technique for weaving in the ends and just can’t make it work. I’m a continental knitter. Is that the problem? Other than that, this shadow wrap heel video was amazing. Using it all the time! Thank you!
Hi Donna,
It is possible that being a continental knitting can be the issue. HeyBrownBerry has a youtube tutorial on weaving in ends that may work better for you. It is available on your channel.
Hope it helps.
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Thanks! I'll take a look at that video
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
hi , to bad i must check you're other video for the heel en how to do the twin stiches and so and for weaving in i also must check you're other video :-( but i love you , great teacher
I’m so sorry that my free online sock knitting course is designed a way that doesn’t serve you.
It wasn't meant in a bad way , sorry you misunderstood me. I watch and learn a lot from you . I thought giving feedback was possible here ? And it's not that it's bad feedaback heh ? Thank you for your FREE lessons , kind regards from Belgium.
@@carinefonteyne9102 I apologize if I misunderstood your comment or rather the tone of your comment. Yes, feedback is absolutely welcome here. My sock knitting course is designed so that one class bulids from the previous one. I wish it were possible to demonstrate every technique in every video. But that would be overwhelming for beginners and videos would be hours and hours long.
Wishing you happy sock knitting in Belgium!
Hi and yes you are right on that point it would indeed take to long . I certainly didn't want to seem unfriendly . My English is not very good , exuse me for that. To be honest , I was a bit shocked by your answer because you are always very friendly in your videos , my sinceere apologies for misunderstanding . Kind regards and thank you for your help knitting .
Hi Denise, great tutorial! I tried this for the first time and I love it. Question..you could use this same method with toe up socks right? I'm thinking you can but wanted to see what you thought in case I'm not considering everything.
Hi Teresa,
Thanks for your question. YES!!! I'm happy to say you can use this method with toe up socks.!! Happy Sock Knitting!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast Thank you!
I know these videos are from a while ago, but I wanted to ask if the shadow heel will also work on toe up socks? It looks like it would to me.
They are a bit old but I'm still here answering questions! Yes it can be used in toe up socks, exactly as directed/written.
I love the main color yarn. What’s the ID and where to find it? Beautiful 🤩 thank you 😊
The information is on the screen as a "ticker" across the bottom and in the description box below the video.
Denise, if you did the last round of leg before the heel in the contrast color, wouldn’t that resolve the “blip”?
Hi Renee,
Yes that would solve the "blip" problem but it would also give me a single "ring" of the contrasting color across the instep as well as a "jog" in color. Which would be fine if you don't mind the look of it.
Is it necessary to cut main color before starting the heel? I was wondering if I could keep it, weave in heel color as I approach the heel row, work my heal. I should finish the heel where I left my main color, pick it back up and carry on knitting in the round. No?
Hi Mika,
No it is not necessary to cut the main yarn. Just keep in mind the loose stitches at the sides/edge. And You may have to rearrange your stitches because the main color and contrast color may be on opposite sides depending on where you start the heel.
Is there a way to do a contrasting heel without cutting the main yarn?
Yes, there is a way. Truth be told I've never done it but I will soon and will share in a vlog/tutorial.
Hi there I've just found you in RUclips but I'm totally committed to getting a pair of socks knitted, can you please share which pattern you are using in this tutorial please and where the pattern is available. .
Thanks in advance . 😊
A link to the pattern is listed in the description box under the video. What is available on my website as well as Ravelry.
I love this video, so helpful! I have a question, might sound silly. What do you do with all of the ends when you are done? How do you trim them? I'm skerred to try, so I'll ask the expert. 😁
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
To answer your question, (not silly at all) I simply cut the ends off, leaving about 1/4 inch tail. And there is no need to be scared.
Happy Sock Knitting!!
@@EarthtonesgirlPodcast that's it?! Eep! Ok, I'm going to try. I always make such a mess out of my ends since I've never properly learned how to weave in. There's always knots and way too much woven in, makes it too thick to enjoy, especially on socks and mitts. Thank you, I'm excited to now have a much more hidden way to wear the ends. Cheers!
You are so very welcome!!!
I appreciate your tutorial but I have a question when we weave the yarn and the model of the pattern is one knit and two purl how do you weave the yarn?
Good question! You will have to weave in the ends into the vertical column of the line of stitches instead of across.

Thank you for your reply and the video
