Crochet Sandals Free Pattern

Crochet Sandals Pattern for Women- a fun pattern!

I am really excited to present my crochet sandals free pattern for spring. Follow the pattern and you will get a sturdy and cushy sandal that will keep you comfortable all day long.

This crochet sandals pattern is perfect to make a pair for those lazy days where all you want to do is stay in your PJs and read a good book or watch some television.

The free crochet sandals pattern requires worsted weight cotton yarn and an F(3.75mm) hook. I used Lily Sugar n’ Cream yarn.

Just like a regular pair of sandals, the left and right soles for these crochet sandals are shaped differently.

Sole Pattern

Tips for sole:

1. Count your stitches after every round.

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

3. The last st of every round is worked into the same stitch as the beginning chain.

4. Stitch counts for bigger sizes are given in brackets in the order 5-6 (7-8, 9-10, 11-12). If there is only one number it pertains to all the sizes.

Make two left soles as each slipper sole has two layers.

Joining the two Layers of the Soles and Adding the Batting

Hold the sole on top of the batting and cut around it. You can then trim it to make it ¼ inch smaller than the sole all around. Cut one more for the second sandal. If you are using plastic canvas, cut it out in the same way for both the sandals.

Note: When slip stitching the 2 soles together, make sure you are working on the right side of your soles, the side that would face up for your right and left sandals when you wear it. You want your slip stitches to show when you wear them.

3. Open soles like a book and place the stuffing

Overlap one left and right sole with the wrong sides touching and start to slip stitch them together. Start slip-stitching from the middle of the heel and continue until half the sole is joined, open it like a book and place the plastic canvas and the ½ inch batting inside as shown above. The plastic canvas should be the bottom layer so you don’t feel it when you walk. Slip stitch to close the entire sole with the plastic canvas and the batting sandwiched within. Fasten off. Repeat the same for the second sandal making sure you work the sl st on the upward-facing side.

Toe Top (Make 2)

Notes

1.The toe top is made separately and sewn onto the soles to make a sturdy slipper. See pic 4 to see how it looks.

2.The toe top will taper slightly at the toe side.

3. The toe top is sewn onto the right side of the sole, the side where you can see the slip stitches running along the edge of the sole.

Sizes Small & Medium

The finished toe top will measure 5 ½ inches on the wider side and 4- 7/8 inches on the narrower side.

With F(3.75mm) hook, ch 20 very loosely. If you find it hard to chain loosely please use a bigger hook only for your foundation chain and then switch back to F hook.

Finishing The Foundation Chain Side- All sizes

Sl st to the corner of the foundation chain where you don’t have the beginning tail (See pic 4), 1 sc in the corner, 4 sc into the first ch-2 space, *(5 sc into the next ch-2 space), repeat from * until 1 ch loop is left, 4 sc in last ch-2 space, 1 sc in the corner. Fasten off with a half-yard tail for sewing. Barring the 2 long tails for sewing weave in the rest of the tails.

Make one more toe top following the same pattern.

Sewing the Toe Top onto the Soles- All sizes

5. Place markers 2 inches ( 2 ¼ for bigger sizes) below the toe side

Place 2 markers 2 inches away from the toe side for sizes Small/ Medium and 2 ¼ inches away for Large and Extra Large. See pic 5 above.

Thread the yarn needle with the long yarn tail left on the narrow side of the toe top.

6. Insert the needle down through the side of the top and 2 layers of the sole

Now keep the narrow side of the toe top part right behind the marker in such a way that the edge of the toe top touches the edge of the sole, insert the needle vertically down through the side of the toe top and both the layers of the sole (see pic 6).

7. Insert needle up through 2 layers of the sole and the side of the toe top

Then work your needle up through both the layers of the sole and through the side of the toe top (see pic 7). Repeat these two steps to reinforce the beginning end of the toe top. Continue in this fashion all the way to the end of the toe top. At the end again repeat these couple of steps to reinforce it. Make a couple of tight knots under the sole and hide the tail between the soles.

Now thread the second tail, make sure the toe top is aligned well and sew it from the backside towards the marker side. Knot and hide the yarn tails. Repeat with the second slipper.

Enjoy your new slipper!
