I made a wrong calculation in my spreadsheet when working out the numbers for this pattern, which lead to an incorrectly listed gauge, and a number of resulting instructions are incorrect. The Changes are as follows:
Gauge: 21 sts and 32 rows = 4”/10 cm in Waffle Stitch pattern with Needle A, blocked.

Copenhagen Slippers (Travel Knits for the Family Volume 1)
The recommended needle sizes are producing incorrect gauge for many knitters. In the Materials section, the Needles should now read:
Needle A (for toe, back, and Latvian braid): US #4/3.5 mm (or size needed to obtain gauge…
Needle B (for sole and cuff ribbing): US #2/2.75 mm (or 2 sizes smaller than that used to obtain gauge)…
