Flora barefoot sandals
Crochet these fun and easy barefoot sandals for the beach, garden parties or even a summer wedding – anywhere where shoes are not needed. My design was first published in the Simply Crochet Magazine in summer 2020, issue 99.
There are two separate patterns, one using US and the other UK crochet terms. The original pattern was in UK terms as the magazine is English. You can also purchase a PDF pattern without ads in Ravelry or Etsy, also in both terminologies.
There is first a YouTube video with the instructions, the written patterns come after the video! You can also crochet this different barefoot sandals design, instructions on my YouTube channel!
