I did this test knit of some anklet socks-my mum wrote the pattern, and thus naturally asked me to proof it for her. She wrote the pattern for a fine fingering weight border Leister yarn from Seven Sister’s farm, but I’m knitting these in Knitpicks, because that’s what I had on hand.
The heel is a modified fish lips kiss, and even with the modifications I had to yank on it a bit to get it to come up this high. That’s in part because the sock is too small for my model (probably around a size 9 or 10 in women’s? While the socks are around a size 6), but it’s also just the nature of this heel style, that it doesn’t consist of enough fabric to cover that larger heel region. Still, for little short anklets like these it works great!
