As I've mentioned before, I am all about the crochet right now. So I looked through patterns that come to me via email, and I found one for little sandals.
These were just too cute not to make!! I did make a couple of slight modifications. I made the tie straps longer for ease of tying a little bow. Then, the pattern called for wrapping the toe area several times, but I just used a piece of yarn, wrapped it a couple times and tied a bow.
I've got so many skeins of yarn now, in various stages of use, so I want to use up as much as I can. Since the pattern called for a double sole - yikes, the child will not be walking for months, but these soles are rugged!!! - I used yellow on the bottom and pink on top. That way I could easily use the multi-colored yarn for the rest of the shoe and it would all coordinate. May as well teach her about coordinating outfits early on!
Here they are - and they almost fit her little tiny feet! In another month or so they should be right on - just in time for the summer fashion season!
The pattern for these sandals can be found at www.whistleandivy.com.

Dear Deb these are truly adorable. Love the mix of colors. This art I have never been able to learn...perhaps in the next life I will find some of that skill. :)!! Hugs
Too cute and I'm very impressed with your skills!!
This are wonderful. Am tempted to say..."WHAT a stitch!" Couldn't help myself.
Thanks Debbie and Rhonda. I do have a few talents!
Ginny - that was funny!
