Published: | Updated: | By Ashlee

Adorable and easy to make crochet baby sandals pattern. With double soles and contrasting colors they look just like adult sandals.

a free pattern for adorable baby 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!

not much cuter than sweet fat baby feet, make these crochet sandals for your little one with a free pattern

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

creating the crochet sole

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

adding the sandal part of this crochet shoe

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

this is where it turns into a left shoe

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)

this is where it turns into a right shoe

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

adding the trim, in the same color or a fun bright 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

pull all the ends through the base and add a second sole

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

adding a second sole strengthens the sandals

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..

finished crochet baby sandals are cute, fun and soft for your babies feet

      Someone on a different page mentioned puff paint to put traction designs on the bottom of baby slippers. I haven’t tried it yet, but others swear by it. Hope that helps.

    • Sara

      I used to make sandles and such for my grandbabies when they were growing up and used puffy paint on the bottoms so they were slip resistant.

    • Ginger Davila

      It is very simple to make cutesie baby shoes and booties, like these, non-slip. Once the sandal or shoe is complete just add some puffy paint to the bottoms. When they are littlest I merely add several dots all over the bottoms but as they grow and get more agile I actually do wavy lines along the bottom for more traction and stay power. And you buy paint to either match the color of the ‘sole’ or contrasting colors to compliment, which ever is more fun for you! 🙂

      I’ve read off spreading caulking or spra what you use to connect your evesdrough
      So many things to make it non slippery go ask safari

    • erin Mooney

      I have tried many many times to crochet things. I am left handed so it difficult to learn from book an for people to help me. is there anyway I can buy a pair…

    • Andrea Jaume

      If you go to YouTube and in the search at the top enter crochet tutorials for left-handed folks. You will find all kinds of tutorials to help you learn. I recommend Meladora at . She has a whole series of tutorials for left-handed folks. She also does them in slow motion so you can really see what is going on. Hope that helps 🙂

      Hi Ashlee, I have a picture of a pair of baby sandals I would love to make…..If I send you the pic do you think you
      could make a pattern for me? I would be happy to pay you for your work.

      Thanks so much,
      Irene

      PS these are for my Great Granddaughter and I need a 3 – 6 mo size if you would prefer to make them I would
      purchase them….
      I will try to attach a photo now but I am not good at this…lol

    • Ashlee

      I have designed all my patterns with my baby boy as my model, he’s now almost 2, I really only do a pattern here and there, not professionally. I’d try one of the larger crochet pattern maker, the ones that do a lot of baby booties, I have no idea about sizing, or anything, I wouldn’t know where to begin without a model.

    • Ashlee

      these are my only sandals. Someone created a collage with a bunch of paid patterns from etsy but linked to my free pattern. Sorry to say the hello kitty ones aren’t mine, youd have to buy the pattern on etsy from whoever made it

    • jeanne

      I am so impressed. You did this up so well that anyone can make the sandals. Love them and I know the perfect baby to make them for! thanks, jeanne

    • Ashlee

      thank you so much! It’s so nice to hear, I get so many problems or questions that I get discouraged, but I love hearing when people love and enjoy the patterns!

    • jeanne

      Please don’t get discouraged…trust your instincts…believe in yourself ! ALWAYS!!!

      As long as you keep creating such fantastic patterns…I guess you’ll have to “deal” with those of us who aren’t as advanced as you! That’s another positive!!! Best always, Jeanne

    • Ashlee

      Thanks! I try not to, and I don’t mind answering a few questions, I’m not a professional so I know they aren’t perfect, but over and over and over again it get’s tiring. so thanks again for your sweet words.

    • Aury

      Hi..what a great pattern.!!! Want to make it..only thing is that..how do you start.!? I make the loop arounf the hook, then how many loops in the starting chaine.!? Ireally love it and want to make it..just misunderstand the begginin.. :/ Thanks for your help and your patterns.!! Great job.!! Thanks a lot for sharing <3

    • Ashlee

      I only made the one size of these, but if you can figure out how to make the sole larger (I few more rounds) then use the same idea of the base of these and grow from there? Sorry, I enjoyed making things for my baby, but I don’t have any plans to make these in other sizes.

      I personally can’t STAND things between my toes, so I’m not sure I could ever torture my baby with thongs, as cute as it would be… but I’ll add it to the request list!

    Ashlee,
    These are darling! I love the little baby feet in the picture too. I sure wish I had taken the time to learn to crochet when my Grandma taught the rest of my cousins when we were younger, ugh. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    • Ashlee

      I agree, those baby feet are delicious!!!! 😉 I taught myself from reading crochet books and it was totally worth it! we all learn in different ways! It’s never too late!

  9. Allyson

    Those are adorable! Thank you so much for sharing! My ‘baby’ is 12 months and I’m wondering if this size will fit him. How old is your little one?

    Reply

    • Ashlee

      My little guy is only 8 months old with HUGE feet! It’s always such a guessing game! I’d make a sole, see if it worked before moving on. Once you know if the sole is too big or small you can go from there.

  10. Laurie

    I love these , can I buy a pair from you for a new unknown baby boy or girl. Please contact me if interested I can’t crochet and these are the cutest for my soon to be baby Brice or nephew of my brothers wife ( he is a Navy Seal) and has been gone and will be back just before birth Thanks laurie

      I don’t sell my creations anymore. but I know a lot of people take my free patterns and sell items from them on etsy, you could try there. I had a store but I hated the pressure of it, and I hate making more than one of any item. There are a lot of other sandals for sale there too, just make sure to actually buy a sandal and not a pattern!

  12. Shannon Adams

    I love these shoes they are amazing!! Im in the process of making them and I have a question. Is there a right and a left sole? If so I can only make the right one. I dont know how to make the left sole. Do I just flip it over and the bottom becomes the top? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      thank you so much for that! I love getting sweet comments like yours! So often it’s complaining about something, so thank you for being so sweet!

    I’m confused when reading your directions.

    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)

    specifically…..
    2sc, sc 6 times
    wouldn’t this just be single chain 8 times? or does 2sc mean something else?
    2hdc 3 times, 3hdc,
    wouldnt this just be make 9 hdc’s? What’s a 3hdc and how is it different than a 2hdc? Does it mean do a hdc 3 times?

    Sorry I’m new to crochet and still learning how to read patterns.

    • Ashlee

      if the number is before the stitch, 2sc, it means 2 sc in one stitch, if the number is after the stitch, sc 6 times, then you do 1 sc in the next 6 stitches, if there is a number before and after the stitch, 2hdc 3 times then it’s 2 hdc in EACH of the next three stitches- so you’ll go from 3 stitches to 6 stitches, it’s an increase

  15. Dana

    I LOVE these! So precious! Thank you for sharing your pattern with us. What size are they designed for? My little guy has big chubby feet. I would hate to get started and find out that his feet were too small. Thank you again!

      ummmm fat 8 month old baby feet size? I truly have no idea. I’d suggest making one sole (they whip up really fast) and seeing if it fits his, from there it’s easy to resize a bit. And when you start the top just keep trying it on, you can add or take away stitches from the straps to make it fit really well!

  16. Skylar

    Hi, just wondering if you had printable versions of your patterns? I just don’t want to mess up any instructions by copy/pasting around the pictures (since I’m clueless) I am in love with them! (I’ve repinned a bunch) and I can’t crochet or knit but my aunt does. She doesn’t have a computer so I was also wondering if I could have permission to print them for her to make for my baby? They are just too cute! Thanks

      I don’t, I’m sorry, It’s on the list of things to do for the blog, on a very LONG list- GRRRR what I do when I get a pattern from another blog I copy and past the page in word, then delete the stuff I don’t need and then print!!! i’m sorry this response is so late, I’ve been without a computer for 1 1/2 months now and finally catching up! Of course you can print out the pattern, I’ll bump up the printable pattern on the to do list!

  20. mary

    alright, I have only been crocheting for about 2 weeks..but these are totally going on my TO DO LIST..Thanks for the pattern.
