Transform a boring old pair of flip flops into a pair of strappy, sexy sandals that are sure to turn some heads on your next beach day. Crochet sandals are the absolute cutest way to accessorize your feet during the steamy summer months. You’ll never go back to basic flip flops after making these stunning sandals!
The best part about these handmade sandals (apart from how cute they are, of course) is that they require very little yarn to make.
You probably already have what you need in your stash! You can easily finish crocheting these sandals in an afternoon, so you’ll still have plenty of daylight left to soak up the sun and show them off.
About the Yarn
According to Hobbii Website, “Such a unique yarn required an equally unique name. Panettone might remind you of the famous fluffy Italian sweet enjoyed during the holiday season. We feel like we cannot get enough of the holiday vibe, even when it is out of the season. We just want to keep the yarn party going all year!” Panettone is made out of 87% cotton, 7% polyamide, and 6% glittery metallic fibers.
