Sole Pattern

Tips for sole:

1. Count your stitches after every round.

2. At the end of each round when pattern says to sl st into beginning ch 1, you sl stitch into the next visible st, and when it says to sl st to 1st sc of the round you skip ch 1 (next st visible) and then slip st into the next st (the 1st sc).

3. Sole is worked in the round without turning at each round.

4. Working both the left and right soles together will help you get the sandals in the same size. They follow the same pattern.

Top Strap

Use pic 10 above as a guide and place a marker to indicate the point where the strap (toe post) joins the sole. The top strap is worked as a continuation of the side strap you just worked.

Variations for bigger sizes are given in brackets in the order 0-3 (3-6, 6-9, 9-12)

Step 1: Ch 12 (12, 13, 13) and sl st to the point indicated by the marker in pic 10 above, inserting the hook into both the layers of the sole and up again to complete the sl st as shown in pic 11 above. This is the tricky part, so take your time.

Note: The bumps on the strap are formed by triple crochet stitches. If you see that your bumps are formed on the underside of the strap, you can fold and hold the triple on top before you make your next sc. Folding the triple crochet will also ensure that your next sc stitch is made tight enough to make a big bump. Alternately, you can also pull the bumps to the right side with your hook.
