I have “walked” through these punny patterns year after year. I try to “take steps” to bring a variety of fun projects and not “step on any toes” when making these. My Have A Heart Flip Flops are the perfect project to “heel” many of us from these long winter blues! I can’t be the “sole” individual that is getting a bit of cabin fever!? This winter has been “laced” with so much time to crochet, but it honestly is starting to consume my “sole!” Hopefully, a few of these projects will have you falling “head over heels” and eager to make some! This one is a “shoe-in” for one of the easiest! Just take it “one step at a time.” While you are working on this next punny project photo-tutorial, I am heading out for some “shoe-shi” with my “sole-mate!” Ok, I will stop here before I insert my “foot in mouth” any further! Ha!!
First, gather your supplies:
Flip Flops, Size H-5.00mm crochet hook, Scissors, Yarn needle, and some yarn.
Then make a slip knot and attach that loop to your hook. Work around the strap of the flip flop as you see in the photos below. Just make a single crochet stitch around the strap.
When you work around the toe separator in the sandal, just go from one side of that post to the other side. You do not have to work around that post at all.
When you are ready to fasten off, just chain 1, cut your yarn, and sew in your end.
You can make a flower or a heart or leave it plain. It’s totally up to you!
Here’s the pattern for the heart I added to my flip flop:
Heart: (Optional)
Round 1: Ch 3, 12 DC in 3rd Ch from hook, sl st to first st. (12)
Round 2: Ch 1, dc in the same stitch. [tr, tr, htr] in next st, [dc, hdc] in next st, 2 sc in next 2 sts, [hdc, dc, ch1] in next st, [dc, hdc] in next st, 2 SC in next 2 sts, [hdc, dc] in next st, [htr, tr, tr] in next st, [dc, ch1] in last st, st sl in the same stitch. Fasten off with a long tail for sewing.
Sew heart to flip flop. (embellish with a button if you’d like!)
Enjoy!!

Recently, a catalog arrived in my mailbox with a unique selection of gift items for all ages. In typical fashion, I often find myself thinking about how to make similar items using crochet.
I fell in love with these darling booties that were similarly made out of fabric and set out to create a crochet pair designed only using yarn!
We all derive inspiration from various sources, but it isn’t always possible to recreate each design substituting yarn as fiber of choice but thankfully, this adorable pair of booties turned out to be quite the exception!
I hope you enjoy making your very own for a special infant. I give tips for increasing the sizing for any age in the video tutorial.
Follow along with this video tutorial to learn how to make these booties:

Walks on the beach, summer concerts in the park, or weddings on the sandy coast, are all the perfect occasions for barefoot sandals. I show how to use beads and feathers to adorn this pair of lace up tribal footwear that is all the rage! Spend your summer in style with this fun accessory!
Although simple to create, these make an impressive fashion statement and give a great free-spirited vibe when you are looking for alternative footwear.
These can be worn bare, or you can dress up a pair of sandals/shoes.
You can chain an amount that you are comfortable with, but the more you chain, the higher you can wrap these up your leg!! You can make them simple and eliminate the beads and feather look. OR, you can add more embellishments like a crocheted flower!! The possibilities are endless.

Recently I posted a video tutorial for the Ribbon and Bow hat. In continuation of the “bow-tastic” theme, I bring you another baby tutorial showing you how to crochet a pair of peep-toe baby sandals using inspiration from this pattern by Hut’s Crochet. I really liked her instructions on the bottoms and sides, but I adapted my own pattern for the top and bow.
Here the video tutorial for the baby sandals/slippers.
If you want to make your bow bigger or smaller, watch this video tutorial I filmed a while back to show you how!
These cute sandals are the perfect accent to any infant outfit and go so well with the bow hat. It makes the perfect set to give as a gift! This is another quick and easy project, perfect for a beginner or any seasoned crocheter to accomplish in an afternoon!
Without the bow, these would make cute little boy slippers as well. You can change things up and make a flower, add a button, or any other embellishment! Get creative, and have fun!
Have you ever had the perfect outfit and you needed just the right shoes to go with it? That summer dress that would be perfect with the exact same color flip flops? Through my easy tutorial, I show you how to transform a very basic Dollar Store flip flops into a great summer sandal and beach shoe! This is a beginner pattern so anybody can do it! I found the FREE written pattern here, by Poppy and Bliss.
The wonderful ideas that you can expand from this basic tutorial are endless!
Bridal flip flops for the reception
Match them for your bridesmaids and give them as gifts
A little girl’s outfit needs the perfect slippers to match
Add flowers or buttons for embellishments to dress these up even more
Use as many colors as you want
Make these in under 2 hours!
I have personally made numerous pairs of these flip flops from the basic design shown in this video to very elaborate and fancier designs. I was actually once employed to make an entire set for a Harley Davidson Wedding in which the bride had ordered black flip flops with black and orange embellishment crochet for her girls to wear at the dance at her wedding. This is a fun idea with so many purposes! They really do make great gifts because they add a touch of handmade to a simple item.
I was surfing the Net and found The Purple Poncho’s website and Carolyn had written this pattern earlier this year. I absolutely fell in love with them! They are a quick pattern that can be whipped up in no time! Be sure to check out her blog and watch my video tutorial on how to make these fabulous barefoot sandals!
