Arachnid Barefoot Sandals -free crochet pattern-

Although I am still buried in snow, I am dreaming of summer!

I love designing barefoot sandals! I have several ideas for patterns that I'd like to write this year, and here is my first!

I really didn't know what to name them at first, so I waited until they were finished, then it came to me.

It kind of resembles a spider in the center, but I couldn't call them "spider lace", because that's entirely something else in crochet.  But spiders have eight legs, and arachnids have eight legs, thus the name.

This is an easy pattern; starting with the toe loop, you will work upward toward the ankle.  The straps are worked in one piece across the top, creating the
final row.

I've included photos to help you along the way.
