I found it eventually, my magazines are good at hiding up! I think it's a
typo, the larger sizes are 60 and 68 sts cast on, so 52 would be correct.
This also fits with the heel instructions, which is worked on half the cast
on number minus 4. I suggest you decrease 2 sts after the hem. You should be
able to work the sole in stocking stitch, just make sure you work complete
repeats of the lace pattern so as to keep the stitch count correct. Good
luck, especially with all those little toes!
