Friends,

Due to a technical issue, only free patterns are currently available in the Pattern section.

I`m working on fixing everything and hope to have it fully restored soon.

The kind of place keenWhale keeps coming back to

keenWhale is the mark I carry.
Natalija is the person behind it.

I knit a lot, read constantly and write whenever I have something to say.
Sometimes I bake bread too.

This site is a mix of all that.

Feel the Heel Socks are classic cuff-down socks with a double cuff, a comfortably shaped heel and a balanced fit.

The pattern is written with flexibility in mind. Along the way, I explain the shaping logic so you can understand what’s happening. I’ve given special attention to the heel section, including a clear explanation of the calculation principle that works with any stitch count.

Clear instructions and detailed video tutorials are included to guide you through the entire process.
