Gramma Jan's Neuropathy Socks
Some forms of Peripheral Neuropathy cause
changes in the shape of feet and legs.
Sufferers can end up walking on the ends of
bones which causes a great deal of pain.
Gramma Jan’s Neuropathy Socks are
designed to provide extra padding on the
soles of the feet, a more elastic gusset region
to fit most arches snugly, and a ribbed leg to
accommodate different sizes. Also provided
are directions to add a bit of space for
hammer toes.
These socks are not a cure, but they are
comfortable and will show your love for a
friend or relative. As with many adaptive
technologies, besides making comfortable
socks for neuropathy sufferers, these can be
positively luxurious for normal feet.

Errata:
Twisted Yarn Over can be used to describe 2 different stitches. For this project, it simply means to wrap the yarn over the needle from back to front instead of front to back. No half hitches. If I produce an updated pattern, I will change this to Yarn Under to reduce confusion.
