Note: this video assumes prior experience with heel flap and gusset sock construction. It is not aimed at first-time sock knitters. This video demonstrates how to knit a replaceable heel and heel turn for cuff down heel flap and gusset sock construction. An alternative method is described, as well. The WWII origins of this concept are presented at the end of the video.
