These easy crochet baby sandals work up in about 2 hours total. You will start by crocheting the soles, each consisting of two identical pieces that are stitched together. You will use a surface crochet technique to add a decorative (and functional) element before adding the straps.
The side straps, ankle strap and toe strap are all crocheted separately and sewn together to finish them off.
These crochet baby sandals use the invisible join method to finish off rounds. You can see instructions on how to do this in the tutorial.
