Plain heel aka "Insta-thought" heel // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates the "Insta-thought" peasant heel, also known as the "plain heel." This technique produces the same result as an "afterthought" peasant heel, but is knit immediately following the leg of a cuff down sock or the foot of a toe up sock, rather than being worked later.
