Adorable and easy to make crochet baby sandals pattern. With double soles and contrasting colors they look just like adult sandals.
I’m so excited about these crochet baby sandals! I’ve been wanting to make some for awhile, there are lots of cute patterns out there, but they are all so expensive, so I played around and made my own.
I matched them to the ones I BOUGHT the older boys for the summer. loved making these and I’m totally going to make a few different styles as well!
Maybe even another size!?! Any requests? I love these sweet fat ankles and those cute chubby toes! Don’t you wish you had these toes kicking you all night long? I love it.
He’s not a fan… yet, he doesn’t like to stand in them, but I adore them! And I’m sure he’ll get used to them!!! He keeps kicking them off, but they sure are cute! I love the heel as well! I’m just so tickled with how they turned out!

Baby sandals:
materials:
Lion Brand Baby Soft Yarn in 2 colors
Lion Brand Martha Stewart Extra Soft Wool Blend for trim
small buttons
G6- 4.25 mm hook (To go down a size use a G-4mm, to go down a second size use a f-3.75mm hook)
abbreviation:
ch (chain)
sl st (slip stitch)
sc (single crochet)
hdc (half double crochet)
dc (double crochet)
sc2tog (single crochet 2 together)
sc3tog (single crochet 3 together)
first sole (color you want under their feet/top side:
in the first color
ch 12
row 1- 3sc in 2nd ch, sc 6 times, hdc 3 times, 7hdc in last ch, finish the rest of the round working along the back of the chain, hdc 3 times, sc 6 times, 2sc in the last/first ch, sl st to the first sc (30)
row 2- ch1, sc in same sc, 2sc, sc 6 times, hdc 4 times, 2hdc 3 times, 3hdc, 2 hdc 3 times, hdc 4 times, sc 6 times, 2sc, sc in SAME stitch as the first sc, sl st to first sc (41)
row 3- ch2, 2hdc in same sc, hdc, 2hdc, hdc 14 times, 2hdc 7 times, hdc 14 times, 2hdc, hdc, 2hdc, sl st to first hdc (52) finish off
Now the key to getting these to look like sandals (with an edge of the sole sticking out) work in the POSTS rather than the top of the stitches. See where the toothpick is? Pick up 2 stitches in the POST, this will leave that EDGE around the shoes.
shoe:
in a second color
count over 5 stitches and sl st in the POST
row 1- ch3, 2dc in the same post, dc, 2dc, ch3, skip 5 posts, 2dc in next post, dc, ch3, skip 4 posts, 2dc in next post, dc, ch6, skip 12 posts, dc in next post, 2dc, ch3, skip 4 posts, dc in next post, 2dc, ch3, skip 5 posts, 2dc in next post, dc, 2dc
row 2- ch2, turn, hdc in the next 15 stitches/ch, sc3tog (this includes the last 2 dc on the right side of the shoe AND the first ch across the toes), 4hdc in ch across the toes, sc3tog (this includes the last ch from across the toes and the first 2 dc on the left side of the shoe), hdc in the next 15 stitches (you should be at the end), ch4, sl st in first hdc, finish off
left shoe
(counting from the sl st in row 2) sl st in the 11th stitch on the RIGHT side
ch13
row 3- hdc in 5th ch (creating a button hole), hdc in next 7 ch, sc3tog (this includes the last ch and first 2hdc in from row 2 after the sl st), hdc 20 times (this includes 4 across the ch 4), finish off
right shoe
(counting from the sl st in row 2) sl st in the 15th stitch on the LEFT side (counting the ch4 as 4 stitches)
ch13
row 3- hdc in 5th ch (creating a button hole), hdc in next 7 ch, sc3tog (this includes the last ch and first 2hdc in from row 2 after the sl st), hdc 20 times (this includes 4 across the ch 4), finish off
Trim:
in the first color again, or third contrasting color
sc across the edge of the toe and along the heel, weave the ends through the sole.
sc around the top of the shoe, using sc2tog in the corners, and 5 sc in the button hold ch, sl st and finish off
pull all the ends through to the bottom of the sole.
second sole:
in the second color again or the contract color
ch 12
row 1- 3sc in 2nd ch, sc 6 times, hdc 3 times, 7hdc in last ch, finish the rest of the round working along the back of the chain, hdc 3 times, sc 6 times, 2sc in the last/first ch, sl st to the first sc (30)
row 2- ch1, sc in same sc, 2sc, sc 6 times, hdc 4 times, 2hdc 3 times, 3hdc, 2 hdc 3 times, hdc 4 times, sc 6 times, 2sc, sc in SAME stitch as the first sc, sl st to first sc (41)
row 3- ch2, 2hdc in same sc, hdc, 2hdc, hdc 14 times, 2hdc 7 times, hdc 14 times, 2hdc, hdc, 2hdc, sl st to first hdc (52)
DON’T FINISH OFF
place against the first sole, matching up the 2 soles
sl st the two soles together all the way around,
this will create a thicker stronger sole as well as add a contrast trim around the edge
Seriously? Could they be any cuter???? I considered not having the top strap button, but be permanent, but then it’s trickier to get them on, and I love buttons…
Remember my baby is a hobbit and has HUGE, FAT feet, so if these don’t fit your baby there are places to tighten up the pattern, smaller hooks, less chains, etc..

Hi! These are awesome! I have a 9 month old and live on an tropical island and moms have been requesting me to make sandals like these. I hope you don’t Mind but can I use your pattern and modify it for sizes and such? I have been looking around the web for 2 hours and I finally found your awesome site. Ps we have so much in common. Thanks the inspiration!
Ashlee
of course! I only ask when people sell work based on my pattern that they give credit to my site so that anyone else who might want to make their own can esily find the pattern as well! Have fun!

I have been desperately seeking for a sandal pattern for my first granddaughter. She is now 8 months old. The poor sweet thing has a cross between daddy’s narrow heel and grandma’s (me) little feet. This is the first pattern I have come across that has even given me hope for a shoe that wouldn’t be too big in the heel. I’m doing it in pink. I will probably be using the sole pattern for all her shoes if it works out. I will let you know how it does and try to send pictures if possible! I am like you and can’t stand flip flops, but her momma loves them, and I would love to see you make a pattern for those also.
Ashlee
My baby had such big feet I hope it can help you! you can always make a smaller size for the narrow part but add a few chains and few stitches along the center to lengthen the shoe to the right size. Good Luck!

Would you have the patterns to the other baby shoes on the pages? They are lovely!
Ashlee
I’m not sure what pages your talking about, you can find all my crochet patterns on this page http://ashleemarie.com/how-to-crafts/crochet-knit-patterns/ if your talking about that collage of baby sandals that somehow got connected to my blog those are other peoples work. These are my only sandals, I suggest checking ravelry and etsy for the other crochet sandals!

Thank you for posting the free pattern! It is fabulous:) I have included it on my blog Karla’s Making It (linking to your pattern, of course)!
Ashlee
Thank you so much! I don’t have a ton of patterns, but I love the ones I do!

They are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
One point of interest you could may look at.
When you click on print friendly to print or download the pattern in pdf the pictures are so large that they wil take more than one page to print of. Maybe next time pictures al little bit smaller so they will fit on a page. It will read easyer and saves paper too.

the print plugin I use actually allows you to delete whatever you want before you print, just click on the paragraph, pattern size or images you don’t want and delete before printing, it’s super easy and works great. if I did pictures smaller i’d get a lot of grief for not making them visible enough
Heather
Sweety sandals, colours are nice too, thanks for sharing.
Ashlee
