In early March my elderly mother broke her lower leg in two places. The hospital put a heavy cast on it, leaving her toes sticking out, just like on tv. The rehab center gave her two different crocheted toe socks for her, but Mom asked me to knit her one. I used the cast sock pattern from Lion Yarns and added a strap to it. I chose Cascade Pinwheel yarn in Petunia and got a little carried away playing with the colors.
In a small object, the colors didn't change quickly enough and I couldn't quite get the effect I wanted. Mom was delighted with them, though. As you can see, the sock fit snugly on her foot and she said it was much warmer than the crocheted toe sock that wasn't elastic.
