Happy Boy Crochet Sandals

Our little boy just turned one and I figured it was about time I made something for him. Thankfully, I did not have to think long and hard before I decided on this sandal.

The colour combination was not planned either. Good thing there was some left over cotton yarn from the One Size headband I made a while back, so it came in handy.
Our little one has large feet, so the soles measure approximately 5 inches. I feel though that it’s better if the soles are larger, children grow so fast.

It’s ok if you sell items you made using LM patterns. And I’d really love it if you mentioned it was from LM.
And please, do not sell or mass produce LM patterns- (the only exception is if you are donating the items made to charity)

Thanks. You can read more on LM policy here.

For non-slip sole, I used the puffy paint. Got a pack of it a while back, and so far, it’s been serving a good non-slip purpose.
