Summer Sandal Pattern
Fun and easy footwear
For this simple pattern, written in three sizes (see below), you will need the following items:
YARN: ANY sturdy, yet comfortable, yarn that WILL YIELD:
5 stitches and 8 rows to the inch. If your yarn doesn’t result in this gauge, the shoe won’t fit,and if the shoe doesn’t fit, you don’t get the prince. I used combinations of age old fibers such as double stranded raw silk / linen, and cotton / linen which fall into the DK or Worsted weight group when combined.
—–Fixation by Cascade double skeined on size 8 works well.—–
NEEDLES: US Size #5 or whatever size gets the gauge above
YARN NEEDED: #1 #2 #3
SOLES 36 yds. 38 yds. 40 yds.
TOE STRAPS 24 yds. 26 yds. 28 yds.

TOTAL YARN 84 yds. 90 yds. 94 yds.
