Crochet shoes are fun to make and they are also a great way to create one-of-a-kind gifts. These crochet sneakers can be made in any size and color and they can be customized to fit the person who will wear them.
There are a few different ways to make crochet shoes, but using flip flops is a really popular option because they are easy to work with and can provide a non-slip sole. They can be used as indoor or outdoor shoes.
The flip flop soles can be made from cotton or other soft yarn. If you are making the slippers to be worn outdoors, you may want to use a non-slip material such as plasti-dip or suede.
In order to make your shoes more durable, you can also add an extra layer of yarn or even a woven fabric. This will help to keep the shoes from ripping out and causing them to fall apart. You can also add a contrasting fabric around the opening of your shoes to add an extra touch of design.
Choosing Your Crochet Sole
Once you have decided what type of material to use for your shoes, it is time to find the right size and shape. You can do this by examining the shape of your feet and the shape of your shoes. If you have a problem with the shoes fitting too big or too small, try cutting down the pattern to fit your foot better.
When you have cut your pattern to the size you need, you can start working on the soles of the shoes. You can also use a printable hole-pocking ruler to make your job easier.
If you have a sharp object (such as an awl or leather punch), poke holes in the flip flop soles at intervals of about 7 mm from the edge. This will allow the crochet hook to be inserted without the stitches poking through the rubber. If you don’t have an awl, you can use a paper punch to create the holes.
You can also buy a hole-poking tool at a craft supply store. It will be similar to a regular hole-poking tool but has a wider blade.
Once the holes are in, you can proceed with the crochet pattern as directed. The soles can be worked in any colors you like and they can be made with a variety of materials, such as cotton or a wool felt.
To complete your slipper, you can choose to do a single crochet stitch, a half double crochet stitch or a treble crochet stitch. You can also change the color of your slipper by working a few sc in each of the heel stitches or by changing the number of sc in each of the shoe sides.
When you have completed the slipper, you can close it up by making a pom-pom on top. This can be a fun project for children to do, or you can make them as gifts for friends and family.
