The pattern designer gives praise that this heel has: No wraps, No gaps, No math, No picking up stitches

I can attest that I have used this heel pattern on both toe up and cuff down socks. I love the look, the fit, and the knit!

When you first open this pattern you may feel that it is a bit daunting. It is after all, 16 pages in length! But, do not be alarmed, those 16 pages are FILLED with endless helpful tips and pictures.
