Question
Megan75
Hi all! I’m working on Christmas stockings right now and I’m struggling with the heel! Here is what my pattern reads:
Heel
With right side facing and larger hook, skip first 32 sts of last row, join B in next st; ch 1, sc in same st and in next 9 sts, bring other side of stocking around and sc in first 11 sts; turn – 21 sts.
Shape Heel
Work short rows as follows:
next Row: Ch 1, sc in first 14 sc; turn.
next Row: Ch 1, sc in first 7 sc; turn.
next Row: Ch 1, sc in first 7 sc, sc in next st of long row below; turn. – 8 sc.
next Row: Ch 1, sc in first 8 sc, sc in next st of long row below; turn – 9 sc. Continue in this manner until all 21 heel sts are worked. Fasten off.
I’m confused about how I work my short rows. When I try to follow the pattern it only ends up shaping half of the heel. My short rows of 7 are directly in the middle of my long row of 21. This is what’s confusing me because when I follow the pattern from there I don’t understand how I would be able to work in all 21 stitches. I got to the end of one side but still had 7 stitches of my row of 21 untouched. I must be doing something wrong! Any help is much appreciated!
