Finally a pair of socks!
I dont't know why, but the second sock takes allways so much time. There was knot in the coloured wool and at first I thought there will be a different order of colours (because I alwasys try to have 2 identical socks).
Anyway, the socks are very coloured, so I decided to knit along.
With tomatoheel and heel flap as toe:
The fitting of the tomatoheel is better then the heel flap. But my favourite is and will be the heel with an extra heel flap.
I think you know how to continue:
2 rows self-coloured yarn and 2 rows single-coloured yarn in change, altogether 28 rows
Knit 1, purl 1
Knit 3, purl 1
Knit 5, purl 1
Knit 3, purl 1
Knit 3, purl 1
Knit 8 rows
Now the heel beginns. I've knitted the tomato heel, which is convenient due to the stripes. The different parts are knitted in different colours:
I've knitted the foot in stripes without purl stitches, thereby it doesn't hurt if you wear shoes. You can also knit a different heel or a longer leg, if you want to.
In conclusion I knitted a heel flaps for the toe and sewed together the opening:
My wool was filo di lana sock wool in red and Opal Hundertwasserwolle.
This version of a heel certainly offers more space than a conventional heel flap, but I think it won't getting my favourit.
