Butterfly Beach Decorative Sandals For Baby

Summer decorative beach sandals for children
I bet you have seen really cute fake beach "sandals" on little chubby feet of those cherubic babies - on internet or real live - before. Those sandals make little ones' feet adorable and highly kissable. Although  there is still winter in our land even if it is already spring!!! grrrrr - but summer is approaching fast and it would be great to dress up those little toes and footsies with something comfy in that hot weather. Well how about hand-made "fake-but-highly-fashionable" crocheted sandals? If you like what I made - a simple butterfly - then follow my video and in couple hours you can have a nice "footwear" for your baby or for a baby of someone you love. Use your leftover yarns to make a beautiful gift. And your friends and family will love you back for your kindness.

It is not too difficult to make these sandals - advanced beginner should do really well too. You need to know how to crochet these stitches: chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch.

If you'd like to crochet the sandals (in the image below) along my "crochet along video", then click on the link to
