addi has a resource for the band toe ("Roundet" toe) shaping rates, if you are using fewer stitches or a different yarn weight. Note that the instructions for how to execute a round of decreases are not correct. They seem to be for the "propeller" toe (aka spiral toe) which is mentioned at the top of the page. https://addi.de/en/story/ribbon-lace-...
