There is errata for this pattern

The chart is repeated 3 times per round.
In the written directions under leg pattern Rows 7, 9 and 11 should read: * k2, p2, rt, p2, k4, p2, k2, p2, k2 repeat from * twice more

After row 6 of the heel it should read continue in this manner until all heels stitches are worked.

The tiny cables remind me of something Thumbelina would wear.
