Toe Cozie

Last winter a friend was tired of her toes being cold, unable to wear a shoe because of a foot injury. She created a toe cozie to go over her cast and cover her toes to keep them warm. Since, she makes them and donates them to the Walter Reed Medical center to pass out to patients. She brought the idea to our Crochet Club and we joined in the effort. Here is a simple pattern that I worked up. You can embellish them as you choose. The cozie on the left I added a fuzzy border by adding an additional row of single crochets. The sock monkey is an example how you can embellish and make your cozie original.
