If a strong heel is desired, use double worsted.
Explanation how to increase a Stitch.—To make the stitches divide better for the heel, it is sometimes necessary to increase one or two stitches. To do this: after drawing the worsted through the stitch, put the needle in at the back of the same, as if to pearl it, and draw the loop through it also, thus making two stitches out of one.
