Turn the Heel with Confidence: Fleegle Heel Tutorial for Toe-Up Socks

Welcome, knitters! In this tutorial, I walk you through how to turn the heel of a toe-up sock using the Fleegle heel construction. If knitting a heel turn has ever felt confusing or intimidating, the Fleegle heel is a great option to learn—it’s streamlined, practical, and designed to create a smooth, comfortable fit without a traditional heel flap or picking up stitches. I’ll show you how the Fleegle heel is built, walk you through the heel turn, and when to begin knitting in the round again, so you can continue your sock with confidence. Whether you’re knitting your first sock or adding a new technique to your toolkit, this tutorial will help make the process clear and approachable. For those following my Vanilla Fleegle Heel pattern, this tutorial will be linked in the pattern which will be published in late May 2026.
