I knit the leg 6” long instead of 7” long to accommodate the stripe pattern.

Instead of working a Dutch heel, I worked the heel flap over 30 sts and used the Heels by Number rounder heel turn.

I treated the first instep stitch as a gusset stitch so the instep rib would begin and end with a p1.

-18 sts after heel turn
-pick up 14 sts each side for gusset - 76 sts
-decrease gusset to 60 sts: 29 instep sts, 31 sole sts (16 sts first half of sole, 15 sts second half of sole)

I worked a standard pointy toe, decreasing every other round down to 16 sts.
