A sock to keep toes warm when a foot is in a cast. The sock is designed with an eyelet round and a drawstring in order to keep the sock on. Once the drawstring is tied, the cuff is folded over to cover the bow. Another option to keep the sock on would be to use slipper bottom non-slip paint on the inside of the body of the sock. In this case, the sock could be made shorter, leaving off the fold over cuff. If you really love knitting ribbing, the sock is stretchy enough to go over a cast, so you could also just keep right on knitting to the desired length & the sock could be pulled over the cast past the heel (think tube sock).

This pattern is pithy & written for an experienced toe up sock knitter (just one pair of socks counts!). Fits average adult man’s foot. For a smaller foot, I suggest the following changes; CO 10 sts each needle, increase every round until 26 sts (52 sts total), then inc every other round to 30 sts (60 sts total)

I knit this sock for a friend who lives out of state. I will post pics of the sock on a casted foot as soon as my friend provides them. :)
