Baby Barefoot Sandals - Basic

These baby barefoot sandals are SO CUTE! This pattern is for a basic triangle shape that you can embellish however you want. This is the first of many baby barefoot sandals I've come up with. Enjoy!




Materials:
Light worsted weight yarn
Size F hook
Yarn needle

Notes:
Starting chain counts as a double crochet throughout pattern
I tend to crochet very tightly, so if you know you crochet loosely, you may want to use a smaller hook. You also may increase the starting chain from 2 to 3 if you need to.
