What is it about heel flaps construction that irks sockknitters who do not like them?
When doing short row heels, do you work the heel on 50% or 60% of the total sts? I did mine at 50% and it looks unusually shallow but doesn't feel too bad on the feet.
Thank you in advance.
On the socks front, one side is done..
one side down

I am a rank beginner at socks, having only done 3 pairs. The first had a flap heel and I hated the heavy slab look it gave the sock. I switched to short-row heels, making innumerable practice ones to figure out how to do them without holes or wraps, and like the smooth look so much better.
I've never worn out a pair of socks in my life, so don't worry about extra thick heels.
Forgot to say, I do 60% of the stitches for the heel and the fit is better than my test heels done at 50%.
