The Japanese Short Row Heel is similar to a standard short row heel, but I find the result tidier and easier to construct. Pins are used in place of the usual wrap and turn. Give it a try!

That sounds perfect. For 20 wraps you would need 20 markers.
Very nice technique!! I’ll give a try, as the usual short row heel is rather difficult for my unexperienced hands. How many pins would you use for an adult sock. I usually have 30 stitches in my heel and do the short rows leaving just ten in the middle. Would that be ok?
How many pins will you use for regular sized heel?
Whoop whoop!
This is the easiest heel I’ve ever made, think its my favorite .
Hooray for your heel!
I felt very confident using this technique. No trouble counting like I do in standard wrap and turns. Will definitely have plenty of locking pins before next pair of socks as I had alot of trouble with standard safety pins snagging my yarn.
Glad you are having fun!
Your videos are so precise and helpful. Thank you!
Love this KAL! Your videos and instructions are so easy to follow.
I love it too! Thanks for knitting with me:)
Thanks!
Love this short row technique. This will be my “go to” short row for future knitting. No more trying to find the wrap. Thanks!
Thank you for another great video! Off to KAL…
