About flipflops
Flipflops have a low heel, so you can easily slip them on when you get home after a long day or when you step out of bed.
If you are unsure about your size or are between sizes, I recommend making the larger of the two sizes and felting an extra time or two. The pattern also includes a guide for felting your flipflops.
When the shoes are finished, you can - before felting them in the washing machine or tumble dryer - needle felt a small design or print onto the shoes. It will blend beautifully into the surface and make them completely unique. Be aware that the design will shrink along with the shoe. If you want a more defined print, you can needle felt your design after they have been fully felted in the machine. However, be careful with your felting needle at this stage, as it can easily break.
See your shoes as a blank canvas - and you are the artist!
About the pattern
The toe of the shoe is crocheted in rounds with half double crochet stitches. The heel of the shoe is crocheted in rows with decreases. Finally, a border is crocheted around the opening before the shoe is felted.
