Crocheted Barefoot Sandals

A few weeks ago one of my fellow crafting mommas saw some very pretty crocheted sandals that she wanted to recreate, she was able to! She had never written a pattern before so instead she made a YouTube video.

I had been wanting to make them ever since she posted the video but I got tendinitis again in my arm so I had to wait. I was finally able to make them yesterday and they are lovely! I wrote down the pattern in my terms and I thought I would share it with you all.

Ch 104

Step 1: sl st in 4^th ch from hook (creates a ring for your first flower), ch 1, sc 12 into ring

Step 2: sl in first sc, sl in the 6 sc, (you do this so that your beginning ch is across from you) sc into the same st as your last sl st, *ch 2, cluster stitch in next st, ch 2, sc into next st*, repeat around from * to *. After your 3^rd petal you want to sl st around your ch of 100, this makes so the flower will lay flat against your foot. Continue making your petals until you have 6. After your last ch 2, sl st into the first sc

Step 3: ch 9, sl in 4^th ch from hook, ch 1, sc 12 into ring

Step 4: repeat step 2

Step 5: repeat steps 3 and 2 until you have 3 flowers total

Step 6: ch 9, sl in 4^th ch from hook, ch 1, sc 12 into ring

Step 7: sl in the next 9 sc, sc into the same st as your last sl st, *ch 2, cluster stitch in the next st, ch 2, sc in next st*, repeat from * to *. After your 2^nd petal sl st around your ch 9 to keep everything straight and repeat your petals until you have 6.

Step 8: repeat steps 3 and 2 until you have 3 more flowers

Step 9: ch 100 and fasten off

Step 10: toe flower; join thread to the middle flower in the base of the flower not top with a sl st (it’ll pull down into the middle)

Step 11: ch 9, sl in 4^th ch from hook, ch 1, sc 12 into ring

Step 12: sc into the first sc, *ch 2, cluster stitch in next st, ch 2, sc into next st*, repeat around from * to *. After your 3^rd petal you want to sl st into next sc instead of sc, ch 15, sl st into the same st as you started (this makes the toe loop). *ch 2, cluster stitch in next st, ch 2, sc into next st*, repeat around from * to * until you have 6 petals all together. Fasten off and weave in ends.
