There are so many patterns out there for this type of sandal. They’re all great patterns however I have one issue: They’re all for newborns or babies! So when asked to create a sandal for a toddler, I was at a loss. So I did was most crocheters do: I freehand the darn thing!! After just one attempt, I nailed it, and came up with this pattern! :)
Sizing info: If the pattern is worked as written below, with worsted weight yarn and a size I/5.50mm hook, it should fit around a child’s size 5 shoe. The booties pictured above were made with a size L/8.00mm hook and fit a child’s size 12.
