Pattern Notes
This pattern is really quick and easy so expect to make a lot of these! You should finish your pair of barefoot sandals in less than an hour and use less than 50 yards of yarn.
The sizing of this pattern is based on a size 7 foot. If you wear a smaller size shoe then you will need to chain less than the amount listed for the toe and heel strap or if you wear a larger size shoe you will need to chain more than the amount listed for the toe and heel strap. The sections which determine the size are clearly marked on the written pattern as well as discussed in the video tutorial. You may need to try your barefoot sandals on to customize them to fit your foot.

Round 2: Ch 3. Dc one more time into the chain 2 gap space. *Dc into each stitch until you reach the corner (3 stitches). To create the corner: Dc 2, Ch 2, Dc 2. Repeat from * around. Join with a slst to the 3rd chain from your chain 3 at the beginning of the round. (21 Dc)

Round 4: Ch 3. Dc one more time into the chain 2 gap space. *Dc into each stitch until you reach the corner (13 stitches). The first corner will be the bottom of the barefoot sandal and we will create the toe strap. Dc 2 into the chain 2 gap space of the first corner. Ch 12 (for a size US 7 shoe. You may need to adjust this number to fit your foot) and Dc 2 into the same chain 2 gap space. *Dc into each stitch until you reach the corner (13 stitches). To create next corner: Dc 2, Ch 2, Dc 2. Repeat from * to end of round. Join with a slst to the 3rd chain from your chain 3 at the beginning of the round. (45 Dc)
To create the heel strap: Ch 26 (for a size US 7 shoe. You may need to adjust this number to fit your foot). Be sure that your chain is not twisted and slst the chain to the opposite corner to secure the heel strap in place. Bind off and weave in your ends.
