Notes

These sandals are so cute they are luring me back to the dark side -crochet. I think I may try the smaller medallion as on some of the pics it looks a little large for the foot.

Got black thread and sandals for another pair, but may try to knit the soles on those and play with the pattern on top.

Great concept.

It is showing that my crochet skills are a little rusty. Top motif was not quite as designed so I turned it sideways. Attached it at sides with crochet chain 3 on inside and 5 on outside to make it a little more stable on the foot as my foot was tending to slide forward.

Using a lighter weight yarn I added 2 additional rows of hdc and a row of dc between rows 5 and 6 of soles in order to fit my flip flop.

Missed directions for joining soles. Sewed first set together with plan to add strip over the top. I like the looks of the slip st tog on second foot, so will go back over edges on first foot to finish. If it seems the knit bits need more stick I may go back and glue sides with strip after the fact.

Love these they make me feel like it is summer!
