Notes
Flip-flops are made with 2 strands of yarn held together and used as
though they were a single strand.
- For single-color effect, you can either crochet from 2 balls of the
same color yarn or pull 1 end from the center of a ball and 1 end from
the outside.
- For a mixed 2-color effect, crochet with 1 strand each of 2 colors.
- For the striped version, change colors every 15 stitches or so.
Directions
-
Make a slip knot with 2 strands of yarn held
together.
Holding the yarn across
the top of the flip-flop strap and reaching under the strap, catch the
yarn leading from the balls with the hook. You now have 2 (double
strand) loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn around the hook and pull it
through both loops. You have now made a single crochet. Repeat until the
strap is completely covered.
When the strap is
completely covered, cut the yarn to 5" and pull the ends through the
last remaining loop. Thread the yarn needle with the yarn end and pull
back through a few stitches to hide. (You can also use a crochet hook to
do this.) Trim the end.
Tips:
-
Although you
can start at the end of one strap and crochet straight across to the
other side, you will get better coverage by starting at the toe end of
each strap and working back, then returning to the toe end to do the
other side.
-
For a very
furry look, it is easier to push the stitches tightly to the toe.
Optional:
Finish your flip-flops by gluing a large button, rhinestone, or beads to
the toe.
Skill Level: No experience needed.
