Plarn Sandals

The sole of these Sandals is the same pattern I use for house slippers. Patterns are just suggestions!
Ch 11, turn, sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across. 10 sc.
Ch 1, turn. Sc in next 5 sc, inc in next sc, sc to end of row. 11 sc.
Ch 1, turn. Sc evenly across. 11 sc.
Repeat previous 2 rows, increasing in every other row until sole is wide enough. I do a lot of trying on to get a custom fit.
Work several rows even, until it is long enough to be nearly to the wider part of your foot.
For the next set of increases, at the ball of the foot, increase in the 3rd st from the edge, every other row, until it is wide enough for your foot.
You may need a few more rows of working even to get it long enough.
When it is long enough for your littlest toe, start decreasing every other row, in the 3rd st from the edge.
To fit my size 7 feet, I made it 38 rows long.
Ch 44, join at other side of last row with a sc to make a loop for over the top of foot.
Sl st in the sides of the next 4 rows, ch 42, finish off.
At other side of the same row, attach plarn with a sc. Ch 42, finish off.
Count down 9 rows, attach plarn with a sc. Ch 45, finish off.
At other side of the same row, attach plarn with a sc, ch 45, finish off.
On one side of beginning row (at the heel), attach plarn with a sc, ch 96, finish off.
At other side of the same row, attach plarn with a sc, ch 96, finish off.
These chains are enough to tie bows over my feet, you may need more or less for your feet.
Using the shortest chains, nearest the toe, wrap the chains around the 44 chain loop, tie in a bow.
Using the next set of chains, in the middle, wrap the chains around the 44 chain loop, tie in a bow.
The chains at the heels are long enough to wrap around my ankles from back to front to back to front and tie in bows. Yours don't have to be as long if you don't want so many wraps around your ankles.
Customize your Sandals! You could put flowers or beads on the chains, whatever strikes your fancy. Patterns are just suggestions!
