Heel & Toe Variations for Top Down Socks
Do you love knitting socks and are ready to adjust the fit and feel of your finished project? Find heel flap and toe variations you can make to the next pair you knit! Learn construction techniques for each one and how to incorporate the heel into your own sock stitch count in the course workbook .
Welcome to Heel & Toe Variations for Top Down Socks course taught by Tabetha Hedrick!
If you’re anything like me, you not only know how to hand knit socks but you’re obsessed with socks. Perhaps you’re ready to up your game a bit to adjust the fit and feel of your finished project.
Well, I’m going to knock your socks off with some fun heel flap and toe variations and modifications you can make to the next pair you knit (see what I did there?)
In this workshop you’ll learn how to knit:
- Four Heel Flap Variations:
- round heel
- Dutch heel
- German heel
- half-handkerchief heel
- Four Toe Variations:
- round toe
- wide toe
- star toe
- French toe
I’m assuming you’re here because you’re already familiar with the traditional heel flap and toe. I will go over the construction techniques for each one and you will find thorough instructions on how to incorporate the heel into your own sock stitch count in the course workbook under the Downloads tab. It’ll have a bit of math (very little, I promise) so you can plug in your own stitch counts for a perfectly custom fit. If you need a refresher, be sure to re-watch Module Two of Custom Top-Down Socks for Beginners course first and you may choose to use the custom top down sock pattern included for members and modify it!

Luxury Hats.
These three beauties are made using Malabrigo Rasta, a 100% Uruguayan Merino Wool. Every hat made with this wool is a one of a kind design because of the dying process.
