The Heel.[2]
Q. How do you begin the heel?
A. I divide the stitches in half, leaving the seam stitch for the middle of the heel.
Q. Do you knit the heel like the rest of the stocking?
A. No; I knit it in rows, and every row on the inside of the heel must be purl stitches.
Q. How long do you make the heel?
A. Twenty-four rows.
Q. How do you finish the heel?
A. I knit the nine middle stitches in rows, like the heel, taking up one of the others with the last stitch of every row till they are all taken off.
Q. How many needles do you use?
A. Only two.
Q. How many stitches are there when the heel is finished?
A. Nine.
