This is a sock heel that mimics the classic hourglass short row heel without the use of short rows. The same methods for modifying a short row heel for a better fit can be applied to this heel as well. This heel can be used in cuff down socks or toe up socks.
This class is part of our Tour de Heels Sock Class Program. In this class you will only be making a heel sample using the Mock Short Row Heel technique.
