High Top - Legwarmer Barefoot Sandals -free crochet pattern-
Feet are on my mind after recently designing two new sock patterns, but I'm tired of winter, and I feel like beaches, flip flops, and barefoot sandals! I actually designed this legwarmer style barefoot sandal/sock pattern last summer, which was created with "yoga socks" in mind, for a friend. (who was actually using them for yoga!) So, recently, I had a few balls of sock yarn lying around, and took that opportunity to actually write out my pattern to share. Enjoy!
These barefoot socks work from the foot and up to the top of the leg. If you can make a granny square, you can make these! The double crochet stitches turn into longer stitches (htr, tr, hdtr, and dtr) as you work up the leg to give it more stretch. You can also quit at any time as you're working up the leg, if you want them shorter, just stop after any round and skip to the very last finishing round.
These look great pulled all of the way up to your knee, or slouched down as well!
