Gauge:

• 41 sts x 50 rnds = 4” in pattern
• 34 sts x 48 rnds = 4” in stockinette

I knit 16 rnds of rib (1.25”) for the cuff instead of 20 rnds (1.5”).

This was my first time knitting German short rows. The heel construction was interesting with the mini heel flap and gusset.

I knit the foot 9” long instead of 9.5” long. I started the toe decreases at 7.25” and worked the first two decrease/toe rnds per the pattern and worked one rnd even instead of two. I decreased every other rnd 8 times then every rnd 3 times. I decreased down to 20 sts for the toe instead of 16 sts.
