Boomerang Heel

The boomerang heel (also known as the yoyo heel) is particularly simple and suitable for beginners. It is created by german short rows. The heel is formed by knitting two trapezoids.

In this tutorial we describe step by step how to knit the boomerang heel with short rows – with addiCraSyTrio, DPN or Sockwonder.
