Free Crochet Pattern – Barefoot Sandals!

Free crochet pattern – barefoot sandals. It’s the season for barefoot’n! What a fun project this free “Pearl of the Sea” Barefoot Sandals crochet pattern is to make, wear and gift! Easy, hooks up fast, great yarn stash-buster; and by adding the beading, they become elegant and festive. I made the coral colored pair up and my daughter-in-law saw them and promptly claimed them as hers! That made me smile, as she is very fashion-forward and has great taste. So to pass the “test”, was a nice feeling. I used 100% mercerized cotton, category 3, for this pattern and my model is made with Omega Sinfonia. Another great yarn for this project is Patons Grace. The gorgeous wooden crochet hook is an Heirloom Wooden Crochet Hook from Furls Crochet, a size H in Rosewood – YUMMY! As for the beads, really any size bead will work, as long as you can string it onto your yarn. I have a new tutorial on adding beads to your crochet projects, specifically posted to help aid in your success with this pattern. That “Add a Bead” tutorial can be found here.

Pearl of the Sea Barefoot Sandals

Designed by The Hooked Haberdasher

MATERIALS

  • Category 3, mercerized 100% cotton yarn 60-75 yards. I used Omega Sinfonia for the model; another good option is Patons Grace
  • Size H (5.00mm) crochet hook
  • Tapestry/yarn needle
  • 16 Beads

SIZE

  • One size fits US women’s shoe size 6-9. Can be adjusted to smaller/larger sizes by reducing/adding motif(s) and chains for toe/ankle straps.

ABBREVIATIONS

  • +B=add bead with sl st method
  • Ch=chain
  • Dc=double crochet
  • R=row
  • Sc=single crochet
  • Sl st=slip stitch
  • Sk=skip
  • Sp=space
  • St(s)= stitch/stitches

 HOW TO READ THIS PATTERN

  1. When instructions are in brackets [ ] those sts are worked as a set.
  2. Parentheses ( ) at the end of a row = total sts for that row.

NOTES

  • Adding beads to your project: String 16 beads onto your yarn. When the pattern reads +B, add bead using a slip stitch. If you are unfamiliar with adding beads to your yarn and project, see my tutorial here.
  • Beginning ch1 does not count as a st for R3 and repeats of R3.
  • Always keep your bead to the right side of your work. R3 and repeats of R3 is the wrong side of your work. When working your sc rows, bend/push your bead forward, essentially working the st behind the bead to keep the bead on the right side of your work.
  • To don your sandals, tie a loose single knot approximately 2-3 inches from the end of one ankle strap. Hook toe loop over one toe, motifs lie flat on top of foot, draw straps around ankle to heel, crossing over and back around ankle. Place the unknotted ankle strap through the knot on the other ankle strap, pulling the unknotted strap taut to your comfort and tighten the knot at the outside of the ankle. ENJOY wearing your Pearl of the Sea Barefoot Sandals.

      I’m sorry you’re having troubles with the barefoot sandal pattern, Charlotte. If you would like to email me and let me know which step you are confused by, I’ll be able to better assist you :) p.s. At this time I do not have a You Tube channel or tutorial for this pattern – but that’s a good idea, I should get a channel and start making videos :)

      • what a great idea to start a YouTube Channel. I too am trying to make these and a video tutorial would be amazing :) But the pics are helpful, at least better than trying to do without..These are awesome by the way…

  4. These are so pretty! What bead did you use for the 5 petal look? Or is it a button?

    • thehookedhaberdasher1

      They are “rubber” beads that I found at Michaels :) They really caught my eye and were easy to work with, too.

      • Thanks! I’ll try to find them pronto! Very pretty looking!
