I had to change this quite a bit to fit my best friend's narrow feet that were smaller than the pattern. I went down to a size 4 needle to help with that. I'll have my full notes below. Once again, I loved working with the 4/8's Wool. It's just too pretty.

I don't have a good finished picture of these, but they're basically a smaller and much, much narrower version of these.

My notes:
CO 48 sts
Work rib for 14 rows before switching to Cable chart
For rows 1 and 2 of cable chart, actually worked rib chart (because I don’t pay attention).
Only worked cable chart once (because, once again, I don’t pay attention).
Worked 28 rows of heel chart for heel flap.
Picked up 17 sts on each side instead of 11.
Worked decrease round every round (12 times total) until 17-st sections only contain 5 sts.
Then:
Row 13 of cable chart: knit even
14: decrease round
15: knit even
16: decrease round
Finish up cable chart (row 36) and then 18 more rows of chart.
Decrease round and knit even - 5 times
Decrease round 3 times
The end. :)
