What a lovely pair of barefoot sandals! Pinning!
Thanks so much Alexandra! 🙂
Super cute!
Thank you so much Kati! 🙂
Very nice! I have never thought of doing something like this. It would be a great idea for my daughters who never wear shoes in the summer. 🙂 I best get busy because summer is upon us. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome Grace! I hope you & your daughters enjoy these fun sandals, thanks for stopping by 🙂
Thank you so much for this pattern! My daughter will be a bridesmaid for a friend who is having a destination wedding next year. I can make a pair of these pretty sandals for each bridesmaid! 🙂
You’re welcome Ann-Maree! Oh that will be lovely and so special of you to make them for all the bridesmaids! 🙂
How do you add the bead? Is if after the sandal is made or do you add it while you are crocheting it?
To add the bead to the center, I leave a long tail at the beginning and use that to sew the bead on after it’s crocheted. If you add more beads to the rounds, I would string them onto your working thread before you start and crochet them into the work as you go. Hope this helps.
looking at ideas for a friends beach barefoot wedding these look amazing! thanks so much for sharing, going to give them a go thank you!
