Crocheted Barefoot Sandals

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

I translated the video into a written pattern for your enjoyment. I take no credit in this pattern, it was designed by Adrienne Davis, I just followed what she said and wrote it in American Crochet terms that we can all follow.

Here is the written pattern for Adrienne's Crochet Barefoot Sandals. I hope you enjoy!

DIRECTIONS:

CH 104

Step 1: Sl St in 4th CH from hook (this creates a ring for your first flower), CH 1, SC 12 into ring.

Step 2: Sl St in first SC, Sl St again in the next 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 3rd 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 St in 4th CH from hook, CH 1, SC 12 into ring

Step 4: Repeat Step 2 to create another flower.

Step 5: Repeat the previous 2 steps until you have 3 flowers total

Step 6: CH 9, Sl St in 4th CH from hook, CH 1, SC 12 into ring

Step 7: Sl St in the next 9 sts, 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 2nd 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 4 until you have 3 more flowers

Step 9: CH 100 and fasten off

Toe Flower

Step 10: Turn your sandal so that it is facing you. Join thread to the middle flower in the base of the flower, not the top, with a Sl St (it’ll pull down into the middle)

Step 11: CH 9, Sl St in 4th 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 3rd 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.
