My baby likes to feel the tickle of the grass and the sand beneath her toes. And by allowing her feet to feel the floor or ground, going shoeless actually helps my pre-walker develop her balance, strength, and coordination. And my little girl is going to do it all in style with these crochet butterfly barefoot sandals! A fun summer accessory for babies, kids, and even adults!
Made with Lion Brand Bonbon yarn, you can actually make a couple pairs from just three tiny skeins. I used hot pink, bright orange and yellow from the “crayon” color pack. This is an Acrylic: Weight Category 3: DK Weight yarn (a light worsted weight yarn). But I think you would easily be able to use any weight or hook size with this project. Just remember the bigger the hook and the thicker the yarn, the bigger the sandal will be.
You can easily alter the length and width of the straps by chaining more (or less). My daughter is 10 months old and wears a size 3-4 shoe. Also keep in mind that yarn stretches so even the ones I made for her could have easily fit a bigger foot. The button closure is adjustable too!

Hi! Love this pattern and have made one sandal already…just a quick question. Maybe I'm missing something, but how is the button adjustable? If it is attached to the side without the flap, then the flap has no choice but to attach to the button where it is sewn on, doesn't it? If you could help me out with understanding this, I would be very grateful – thanks! 🙂
I think it's adjustable because you can slide the button through any of the dc spaces
These are so cute! I saw the pack of this Bon Bon yarn at our JoAnn store this year but I didn't buy any. I might now, since I've seen these cute barefoot sandals. Many thanks!
Does anyone have tips on how to make these in a newborn size?
Try a smaller hook.
I've made two pair since last night with the cotton bonbons. Super cute, wish I could post picture.
So adorable!! I am making them tonight!
Lovely pattern, but this sandal looks to be too small for this foot – see how her toe is bending up? An adjustment or larger size is required. Thank you for the patterns.
Gorgeous! Thanksss!
How would you make these for an adult
