Special Stitches
Magic Ring (MR)
Wrap the yarn around two fingers to create a loop, leaving a short yarn tail. Insert your hook under the front strand and grab the working yarn, pulling up a loop. Chain 1 to secure the ring, then work the required number of stitches into the centre of the loop. When you’ve finished the round, gently pull the yarn tail to tighten and completely close the centre hole.
Alternatively you can work a ch2 and work into the 2nd ch from the hook.
Stacked Double Crochet
This is an alternative to a starting chain and gives a much neater and straighter edge to your work.
Insert hook into first stitch, yoh and pull through stitch. Yoh and pull through both loops (sc created). Insert hook into side of sc just made, yoh and pull through. Yoh and pull through both loops.
How to Customise my Beaded Crochet Sandals
- You can make your toe strap any length you like by changing the number of chains worked on Round 6 for it.
- You can adjust the length of the sandal straps by working any length of chains for them. Make sure to make them even.
- Add as many bead as you like to your straps and sandals, or how about sequins?!
Pattern Gauge: Gauge isn’t essential but each side of the triangle should measure approx 3.5″
Making a crochet gauge swatch is important when crocheting projects to ensure that it ends up the desired size.
This is also a great way to get used to the stitches used in the project and practise getting your stitches nice and neat.

SANDAL STRAPS
Now we need to add 2 straps to each sandal top. If you would like to add beads to your straps then thread the number you would like on a strap to your yarn before you begin. We will then crochet them into place as we go.

As a guide I added 4 beads per strap in the images shown.
With RS facing, join yarn to 2nd of 3sc in one of the corners and chain as many as you like for the strap. Break yarn.
If you’re enjoying this pattern, have a go at the Verona filet crochet t shirt.
As a guide I did:
- ch60 for a shorter strap (shown in Ochre colour)
- ch24, *add bead in next ch, ch16; rep from * 4 times for a longer strap (shown in Denim)
Repeat this on the other corner of the sandal top, with RS facing and joining to the 2nd of 3sc.
Sew a bead to the centre of the sandal top if desired.
Break the yarn. Weave in ends to complete.
