Size "H" needle
Simply soft yarn
Sole: With black, make 4
(The sole is not my own pattern. I followed the "Easy Baby Booties" pattern for the sole).
"Easy Baby Booties" pattern sole:
Rnd 1: ch 9, 3 sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in each of next 5 chs, dc in next ch, 5 dc in last ch, working on opposite side of foundation ch, dc in next ch, hdc in each of next 5 chs, 2 sc in last ch, join. (22 sts)
Rnd 2: Ch 2, 2 hdc in next st, hdc in each of next 7 sts, 2 hdc in each of next 5 sts, hdc in each of next 7 sts, 2 hdc in next st, join in 2nd ch of beg ch 2. (29 sts)
Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in same st as beg ch-1, 2 sc in next st, sc in each of next 10 sts, 2 sc in each of next 6 sts, sc in each of next 10 sts, 2 sc in next st, join in first sc. (37 sc)
Now, with white, sew two of the soles together with wrong sides together. I went around the sole twice with the basket weave stitch to fill in the whole thing. Once you have it sewn together, tie a knot and cut a long enough string to tuck into the back of the sandal.
Back: white
Row 1: Working in the white, basket weave stitches, sc 13 evenly around back of sandal. ch 1, turn. (13 sc)
Rows 2-7: sc across. ch 1, turn. (13 sc)
Do not finish off. Continue onto strap.
Strap:
ch 14, skip 3 (for button hole), sc in remaining 11 stitches, slst across back of sandal. finish off.
slst across top of strap as well. Make sure you have straps going two different ways for left and right foot.
Toe Strap:
Slst in top layer of sole (first row of sole in corner).
ch 11, 3 sc, 2 hdc, sc, slst, sc, 2 hdc, 2 hdc, 2 sc. (You'll be leaving 2 stitches unworked now for the toe). Working on opposite side, 2 sc, 2 hdc, 2 hdc, sc, slst, sc, 2 hdc, 2 sc. slst in first sc. Don't finish off.
To make the loop for the strap to connect through the toe strap, ch 5. slst in middle of top circle. Fasten off.
