The Sandals

I started with the right shoe, that is what’s pictured.

Row 1: Join yarn around the inside edge of the flip-flop by grabbing the yarn under the strap

Yarn over and pull through the loop

Insert hook under the strap, yarn over, pull up a loop

Yarn over, pull through both loops on hook

Continue around the strap. Make 44 stitches (if you have a different brand, adjust this number to fit your flip flop – making sure it’s an even number and that both straps have the same number of stitches).

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), turn, *skip one stitch, dc in next* repeat from * to * 9 times (if you have a different amount of stitches, repeat until you reach the center 5 stitches) skip 5 stitches, dc in next *skip one stitch, dc in next* repeat from * to * across.

Row 3: Ch 3 (counts as dc), turn, dc in between stitches from the previous row, skip the middle 4 stitches, dc in between stitches from the previous row across.

Row 4: Ch 3 (counts as dc), turn, dc in between stitches from the previous row, skip the middle 4 stitches, dc in between stitches from the previous row across, ch 30, slip stitch into the first ch of the ch 30 to make the back strap.

Attach a button to the corner opposite the strap.

For the left shoe, make sure to still join yarn to the inside edge and repeat the pattern. It will be a little more awkward, but this will ensure that the strap is on the correct side.
