On the next row from the right side work as follows: Knit 10 stitches, knit together the next 8 stitches 2 and 2, knit the last 10 stitches. Turn and purl back. Knit 1 row from the right side. Now work back and forth from the wrong side to work the heel stitches together. All rows are worked from the wrong side. Turn and purl the first 12 stitches from the wrong side. Make sure that the strand is at the back of the piece and work as follows: LEFT NEEDLE: Knit 2 stitches twisted together, move the knitted-together stitches back onto the left needle and tighten the strand. Do not turn the piece. RIGHT NEEDLE: Insert the left needle into the 2 next stitches on the right needle and pick up the strand and take it around the left needle, then pull the strand through these 2 stitches and drop the 2 stitches from the right needle. Then move the knitted-together stitches back onto the right needle and tighten the strand. Do not turn the piece. Repeat LEFT and RIGHT NEEDLE like this until there are 2 stitches left.
