Cotty Flops (page 71)

We miscalculated slightly in the sole pattern - the stitch count of 22 (24) sts at the bottom of the first column is right, but to get to that you only need to repeat rows 1 and 2 three (four) times more. To be honest though, the pattern is very adaptable and meant as more of a guide, so if it wasn't followed to the letter it wouldn't really hurt. We had samples in all different shapes and sizes!

We did have a query about the tension but we can't find a problem with this to be honest. Again, if your tension is slightly off it probably won't make a huge amount of difference.

Here is a tip - when knitting the upper section you will probably find it easier if your dpns are on the long side. There are more stitches than you would have for a sock and the yarn is quite slippery, so the longer your dpns the less likely you are to lose stitches off the ends! Failing that some point protectors should do the trick.
