SungoldClusterandBeadSandalsv2.0
By Elizabeth Gormley
Materials:
Crochet Hook USA 5
Color: Goldenrod
(or split 1 skein into 2. I use a cardboard tube to
do this.)
Beading needle that will fit through bead Sandals without bead center
Using 2 strands (use 2 strands through the whole pattern) make a Magic Circle (If you don’t know
what this is you can search for a tutorial on the Internet or simply chain 3, slip stitch into the first
chain to form a ring).
Round 2 (right side): 2ch, (yo, insert hook in same sc where you made the join, yo, draw through,
yo, draw through 2 loops) twice, yo, draw through 3 loops, 5ch. In next sc: (yo, insert hook in
sc, yo, draw through, yo, draw through 2 loops) three times, yo, draw through 4 loops, 1ch, turn
[In this next round adjust the number of chains (underlined) so that the bead you have chosen fits
snugly in the center. You may have to redo this round until you get the right number of chains.]
Round 3: Slip Stitch in 5 chain space, LBCL, 7ch, LCL, 1ch, turn
Round 4: (all stitches in same chain space) Slip stitch in 5 chain space, LBCL, 5ch, SCL, 2ch, slip
stitch , LBCL, 5ch, LCL 1ch , turn, DO NOT FINISH OFF.
You are now going to work the left side of the sandal:
Round 5: Slip stitch in 5ch space, LBCL, 5ch, LCL, 1ch, turn
Rounds 6 - 7 : Same as Round 5
Round 8: Slip stitch in 5ch space, LBCL, 3ch, LCL, 1ch, turn
Round 9: (Slip stitch, 1ch, sc, slip stitch) in 3ch space, turn
Tie:
Round 10: Slip stitch in sc, chain until the tie measures 3 ft (or as long as you wish it to be).
Finish off.
With the wrong side of the sandal facing, join in 5ch space. Repeat round 5 - 10 as you did for the
left side.
Toe Loop (Right side facing): Join at lower end of Round 1 with a slip stitch. Chain 20 (or
comfortable number of chains for your toe). Slip stitch into next sc in ring. Finish off.
