WIP: Explosion of Barefoot Sandals
Yesterday my internet took a crap and I can’t decide if it was a good thing or not. Without my favorite distraction, I was forced to entertain myself in other ways. This resulted in an explosion of barefoot sandals!
I’ve had so many sketches and ideas in my head. I finally got them all out and either frogged them a dozen times before throwing them into the not gonna happen pile, or decided they were keepers.
Right now I’m kinda unsatisfied with how many of them are triangle shaped. I’m not sure how many triangular styles I’d actually want to publish. They’ve started to seem too similar. Plus I feel like it’s just so typical and expected and have been trying to think of something a little more unique.
What do you think? I love hearing everyone’s input. How many triangle styles are too many? Is there anything else you’d like to see? I heart requests, they inspire me! :)
Your work is gorgeous no matter how many triangle designs you come up with. Can’t wait to see what you decide to do!
I like them all. I added a crochet granny triangle to a pair of flip flops and I love them. I like the triangles because you can do more with them. I think smaller ones would be cute for younger girls as well.
Love the purple one at the top!
Well I personally like the traingles since I am not much of a foot person. I like to have socks on except for very hot weather. So I like how the triangle covers the foot. It is getting hotter so my white feet need some color. But hurry, can’t wait to make one.
Love the designs. I’m a bit of an addict myself being from Sunny AZ, but never thought of using that thread. Me gonna have to go shopping. I’ll definitely blog about mine when I make them. It’s up to my boss, he’s five months old ;).
I love the triangles and especially the purple one at the top. It reminds me of a peacock feather.
Suggestions: maybe try a flower shape or thong sandals with a chevron pattern of some kind. Even something Moroccan with jewels would be cute. Instead of strings tying around the ankle you could do a thicker bracelet that ties in the back or maybe even a fringe detail. The options are endless.
I cant wait to see what you come up with. Soo excited!! <3
I love the look of barefoot bracelets! I haven’t worn any but I would. I have wanted to make some myself but as a crochet novice the patterns I’m finding aren’t to my liking. I live your triangle ones:) very pretty. I also think flowers and stars would be pretty!
What about a larger design, one that covers the majority of the top of the foot? Really skinny chain-like designs would be neat, too.
I love the teardrop/raindrop one at the top, and maybe there would be a way to create a diamond? Or maybe chains that are crossed into making more of a fillet pattern? Can’t wait to see the patterns!
Beads and please make a pattern my granddaughter is bugging me to make her some..I made some long time ago can’t seem to locate my pattern..but yours are much prettier anyways…
These are all awesome!!!!!Especially the purple with aqua….You said a C hook,is it a steel hook or an ordinary crochet hook? Thanks. And keep hooking!!!!
I would say, if using each color more than twice, is to many triangles… have you tried incorportaing the triangle, upside down into a tier drop?
I’d say as a suggesting maybe attempted to make a heart (if that is possible) or maybe something in a shape like the star of David? I don’t know. Either way it would be cool just to challenge yourself to something much more.
