Sunrise Mini Barefoot Sandals Free Crochet Pattern

The Sunrise Mini Barefoot sandals are a must have summer accessory! Featuring a golden sun in the center making them perfect for those sunny beach days! They are a truly unique item that you don’t see everyday.

I originally designed this as a jewelry piece to wear on your hand. You could add some beads to the straps to give it more of a bracelet vibe. Or make a pair to wear with some flip flops for a cute everyday accessory. And of course, they’re perfect for a barefoot day at the beach or pool!

You’ll love how cheap this project can be using embroidery floss. You could also use your favorite #1 fingering weight yarn. I personally love using cotton for this for it’s sturdiness, but any fiber should work.
