Introduction

Welcome to Forest Feather Fashion, where creativity and sustainability come together! In honor of Earth month, I am excited to share with you two beautiful crochet patterns for barefoot sandals, which I like to call "fairy shoes." These sandals are not only stylish but also eco-friendly, as they are handmade using yarn and wooden beads. In this article, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating two different designs: the Circle of Life barefoot sandals and the Leafy Green barefoot sandals. So, gather your supplies and let's get started!

Circle of Life Barefoot Sandals

Supplies Needed

To create the Circle of Life barefoot sandals, you will need the following supplies:

• Wooden ring
• Three beads
• Yarn
• Crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Steps to Make the Sandals

1. Start by tying your yarn onto the wooden ring, making a double knot to ensure it is secure.
2. Insert your crochet hook and pull the yarn to the front. Chain 12 to create the toe loop.
3. Slip stitch into the ring and fasten off the yarn.
4. Grab your yarn and make a double knot on the opposite side of the ring.
5. Insert your crochet hook and pull the yarn forward. Chain three, which will count as your first double crochet.
6. Yarn over and insert your hook, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through two loops. Repeat this step to make another incomplete double crochet.
7. Yarn over and pull through all three loops on your hook.
8. Chain two and insert another three incomplete double crochets.
9. Continue this pattern until the cord reaches the desired length for the top of your foot.
10. Make a chain that serves as the ankle strap. The length of the chain can be adjusted based on your preference.
11. Add a bead to the chain and secure it by tying a knot or using a magic knot technique to avoid additional ends to weave.
12. Work single crochets on the back side of the chain to ensure a neater appearance.
13. Make single crochets all the way down the chain, creating a single crochet above the bead.
14. Insert your hook into the stitch next to the bead on top of the cord and make a single crochet.
15. Repeat the process for the second ankle strap, adjusting the length of the chain as desired.
16. Weave in the ends, and voila! Your Circle of Life barefoot sandals are complete.

Leafy Green Barefoot Sandals

Supplies Needed

To create the Leafy Green barefoot sandals, you will need the following supplies:

• Yarn
• Two wooden beads
• Crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Steps to Make the Sandals

1. Start by making a slip knot and chaining four.
2. Slip stitch into the first chain to create a circle.
3. Chain 14 to form the toe loop.
4. Slip stitch into the circle and then into a stitch on the opposite side of the circle.
5. Chain four and make a treble crochet into the base of the chain four.
6. Chain three and make a half double crochet puff stitch by repeating the yarn over and inserting the hook four times, then pulling through all nine loops.
7. Chain three, make a slip stitch into the base of the puff stitch, and chain four.
8. Make a treble crochet into the circle and chain three.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 until the vine reaches the desired length for the top of your foot.
10. Chain twelve and work single crochets across the chain on the backside.
11. Make a single crochet into the treble circle and slip stitch into the next leaf.
12. Chain twelve, turn your work, and make single crochets along the chain.
13. Slip stitch in the center stitch and fasten off the yarn.
14. Insert your hook into the single crochet at the end of the ankle band and tie a knot.
15. Make half double crochets in every stitch across, making sure the ankle band isn't twisted.
16. Make a slip stitch in the side middle section of the ankle band.
17. Create ankle straps by chaining 100 for each strap.
18. Add a bead to each strap and secure it with a knot.
19. Weave in all the ends, and your Leafy Green barefoot sandals are complete.
