Crochet sandals

3/27/2011

3 Comments

 
I was not able to find any good crochet patterns for the kind of sandals I wanted to make.  After lots of research on the net, I decided to make my own. I even remembered to write down what I did (for once). This is my first time attempting to write a pattern for others to use, and it is untested. Please let me know if you have questions. This pattern has very few ends to finish, and works up in a jiffy.

These will fit a newborn. They worked up to a length of 3.25" or 8 cm.  I've always found that the standard 3.5" or 9 cm are really too big for newborns, so I made those a touch smaller. You can use a larger hook and thicker yarn for larger feet.
This is written in American crochet.
Hook: Size G - 4.0mm
Yarn: Small amount of lavender and small amount of white, rated for hook size G.
Gauge: Not critical as the ties allow for some adjustments.


Stitches used:
Chain stitch.
Slip stich.
Single crochet (sc).
Double crochet (dc).
Shell stitch (2 double crochets, 1 chain, 2 double crochets in same stitch)

Cute, cute and triple cute. I have a new greatgrand coming and I will be doing a pair for her. In my mind it's a girl, so if not, then I will donate.

Thanks for the pattern.

Thank you Tacy! Glad you like them. They're really fun to make. Congratulations on the new baby.
You could make them in gender neutral colors, I don't think they're too feminine. But donating is always a nice thing to do too.
