The heel ended up being thus...

Knit across til 11 stitches remain. Wrap and turn (w&t). Purl til 11 stitches remain. Wrap and turn (w&t). Continue to w&t until 10 stitches on each side are wrapped, ending on a purl row.

Knit back, pick up and conceal 1st wrap (see Cat Bordhi's youtube video linked in previous posts). Continue picking up and concealing wraps until last wrapped stitch. Pick up, conceal and knit together with 1st unwrapped stitch. Turn, slip 1, repeat pick up and conceal wraps with purl side. Turn, slip 1.

Knit back to slipped stitch. SSK slipped stitch and next stitch. Turn. Purl back to slipped stitch. P2tog slipped stitch and next stitch. Turn. Repeat until 32 stitches remain on needle.

Resume knitting in the round, instep in pattern, sole st st until stockinette panel reaches the top of shoe heel. Repeat instep pattern on sole stitches to form leg and cuff. Knit til leg is long enough or yarn runs out. BO loosely with preferred BO method (personally I like Elizabeth Zimmerman's sewn bind off).
