*Note: It has been requested by a few readers that I made a YouTube video on making these. I have been having busy weekends but will try to get one up soon!*
Bug is the type of kid {like a lot others I know} who hate wearing shoes and socks...no matter how cold it is inside! These won't exactly keep your kiddos feet warm...but they will look friggin' cute as anything! Even Bug wore them for hours since her feet were still pretty free. She has been loving the Dora dance episode and calls them her dancing "shoes". Love it!

Weight 3 yarn {I used caron simply soft}
Pattern:
Ch 10 & join to form a ring
2 Sc in ring

st, 2 dc in next st {4 dc made}
Ch 2, turn, dc in 1st st, dc in next 2, 2 dc in
last dc {6 dc made}
Ch 2, turn, dc in 1st st, dc in next 4, 2dc in last {8 dc made}
Ch 2, turn, dc in 1st st, dc in next 6, 2dc in last {10 dc made}
Ankle strap options:
Loop-
Ch 20 and join on opposite dc of row {on the other side}
Tie-
Ch 20 {or more} and fasten off. Join on other side and ch same amount. Two ties created.
To put on, put on large ankle strap then pull toe strap over
toe.
You can leave these the way they are or you can add a cute little flower to each. I like this flower pattern from Mel P. Designs. I made the flower with an F hook.
Please keep in mind I'm not really a pattern writer so if you find a mistake or have a suggestion you can nicely comment or email me. :)
For smaller/larger patterns you can just make the rows until it reaches a little below the ankle and chain the ankle strap until it reaches around {it will stretch so you don't ch too much} You can also try a smaller hook size for those itty bitties.
I'd love to know if you make these! You can post a photo on my Facebook wall or shoot me an email!
You might find me over at some of these link parties.

These are adorable! I'm pinning them and hope to make some later this week! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'd love to see them if you do! :)
DeleteThese things seem to be all the rage now! I might just have to try them, :).
ReplyDeleteToo cute. If only I knew how to crochet :)
ReplyDeleteI love these! Thank you for the pattern! I wish I had a daughter to make them for. Maybe I can make them a little more boyish :o) I will let you know how they turn out. Definitely pinning! - Sarah @ Repeat Crafter Me

ReplyDeleteI am going to say NICELY!! That these are adorable! Thanks for linking up at SweetTalkin' Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this pattern. Can hardly wait to get home from work to make them! You are great to share!!!
ReplyDeleteMy "babies" are 12 and 13 :) What would you suggest for taking them down to infant size??
ReplyDeleteI would prob chain less for the loop and use a smaller size hook. I'm not really sure what will work but if you have the footsie there near you you can kind of just work it up and see how it goes. Maybe do one less row even and do ties instead of an ankle strap if you aren't sure the ankle size. Sorry, I'm of no help am I?!
DeleteOkay, I figured it out. Well...I just went down to a #2 yarn Vanna's Glamour in hot pink! They are SUPER cute!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the free pattern! I'll be sure to link back should I open my shop anytime soon!

Our "bug" is 18 months old and has never worn shoes for more than an hour at a time, she is just like her momma, I even tryed this style with her and she takes them off too, but I have a great niece due in August so I will be making more!
ReplyDeleteto make a smaller pair, use sport weight yarn and a smaller hook, i am going to try a pair in cotton thread, will let you know how they work up! i want some for my doll,,,
ReplyDeleteI am going to make a small pair for my lee middleton doll, using crochet thread and a size 7 hook i will let you know how they turn out and the measurements also!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this pattern! I saw these on etsy and was wondering if I could figure out the pattern myself but you did it for me :) Love your leather and crochet cuff too. I think I need to make one for myself. I'm your newest follower too:)
ReplyDeleteChristine @ projectsaroundthehouse.blogspot.com
Thanks Christine! Feel free to share anything you make on my FB page or email. I love seeing how talented you all are!
DeleteToo cute! Want to make them for a newborn!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Want to make them in newborn size!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this pattern! Love it! I made a larger pair for my 6 year old niece and made a few modifications to the pattern. Instead of the 2 sc, I used 3 dc. The last row: chain 2 turn, 1 dc, chain 3, skip 1 dc, 1 sc, chain 3, repeat to remaining 2 stitches; 2 dc. then I made the ties. Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteCan you do a YouTube of this please?!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to do this pattern and am having a difficult times since I'm just learning how to crochet.
I will try to get one up soon. Summer is kind of crazy right now...but I will link here with a YouTube video asap. :)
DeleteI've been waiting for a pattern like this to crochet for my 4-month-old grand-daughter to wear for my youngest daughter's beach wedding! Too cute! Thanks for your patterns!
ReplyDeleteOMG! These are so cute! I can't wait to find a baby to wear them! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteA number of years ago I made something similar for adult size. I used gold or silver metalic elastic and added beads . Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow! I've made these before and sewn on ribbon for the ties. My daughter and granddaughters in Hawaii wear them. They're especially cute on the baby.
ReplyDeleteOMG! These are too too cute! Thank you so much for linking them up! And they're so easy to make! Just a triangle with two chain straps. You could make enough to match all a baby girl's outfits!
ReplyDeletecan anyone tell me the length in inches of baby sandals?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial! I made up a pair using your tutorial. I used crochet thread instead of yarn for a different look and embroidary thread to make the flower. They turned out way cute! Now I just need to figure out a size chart so I can make up lots in all sizes.
ReplyDelete@Tiffany Sanderson,
ReplyDeleteI make barefoot sandals and I use the chart I found at craftyarncouncil.com Foot Size Chart. I even drew or used clipart pics of feet that I maneuvered to be the correct size in inches to fit the guidelines of these charts. If you need more info check with me at http://brendasbric-a-brac.blogspot.com/ Just comment on a post and I will get back with you.
What size is a F hook? I'm in the uk and all my crochet hooks are in mm! Thank you. Btw these are absolutely adorable and once I know what size hook to use, I'll be making and taking to my lil granddaughter in Thailand.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I featured them this morning on my blog: http://www.mooglyblog.com/barefoot-sandals/

Ch 2, turn. 1 dc in first st. 2 dc in next st. (4 dc)
Ch 2, turn. 1 dc in first st. 2 dc in next 2 st. (6 dc).
