Notes

cuff = 16 rounds
leg purl rounds after pattern repeat = 10 rounds
heel flap = 32 rows total
pick-up 16 sts each side
began foot chart after gusset decreases
toe - 10 reps of round 42
decreased every other rnd in pattern to 44 sts
decreased next rnd in stockinette to 40 sts
kitchener grafted 20/20 for blunt toe finish

The reverse stockinette/heel flap combo adds extra fabric around the ankles - which, if you need some room there is a good thing. But if not, can cause some folds for those of us with high arches and narrow ankles.

That said, this is a spectacular pattern from the standpoint of bas-relief definition and I love love love these socks!

There are some minor issues with a couple of the charts. Nothing major, but it could be a problem for knitters new to charts.
