You can never have too many shoes, right? I’m sure you might have noticed that I’ve been designing a lot of sandals lately. Once you make a pair for yourself, you will quickly see why!
They are additively quick to make and ridiculously cute too. You only need small amounts of yarn, and you can customize the color to suit your individual style.
Want to know the other great thing about free crochet sandals patterns? They are totally beginner-friendly! You can make this design using all basic crochet stitches – single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet.
Plus, there are both written and video instructions for you to follow. Having the video really helps, don’t you think?
Do you recognize the stitch that I chose for this unique sandal design? I’ve been having a blast creating patterns with the Arcade stitch. For the past few months, you may have noticed this stitch pop up in my
The Arcade stitch is inspired by the arcade & arches architecture.
Can you see how the stitches mimic the arcades and arches in the picture above!
How do you crochet flip-flops with sandals?
I prefer to take the easy route when I crochet adult sandals. No needless poking holes in your shoes, only to have it rip later.
Crocheting over flip-flops will get the job done. You will be placing single crochet stitches over the existing strap on your flip-flop. This process is easier & speedier to do.
About The Yarn
For this project, I am using Gloss DK. It is such a light summery yarn. Gloss DK is a luxurious blend of soft merino wool and lustrous silk. Because this fiber blend takes dye very well, Gloss DK features a large spectrum of beautifully saturated colors.
Next-to-skin soft with a velvety texture and sheen, Gloss DK elegantly drapes and shows off stitches from basic stitches to the most intricate of cables with ease.
