Easy Barefoot Sandals: Thread Crochet Beach Sandals

I grew up barefoot. If it was summer, there was no place I couldn't go without my shoes and in the winter the uncomfortable things were shed the moment I was inside the house.

And yet, there's something essentially feminine about decorating your feet - whether it be toe rings, nail polish, or some form of foot covering. Socks will never do during the heat of summer, though. We want to bare our skin to the sun and soak in the warmth, and our toes don't want to be left out!

These barefoot sandals (or beach sandals) are quick to make using crochet thread and create a pretty, feminine foot decoration that will fit most women's feet. You'll be able to whip both feet up in just a few minutes and head out the door with your new "shoes" deliciously displaying!

To keep the pattern very easy, there are no abbreviations used.
