Pineapple Up Barefoot Sandals -free crochet pattern

I spent a few weeks deep into a barefoot sandal designing obsession and came up with some new designs.  This is my second barefoot sandal pattern this year! (after Arachnid Barefoot Sandals)  I know the Pineapple Crochet pattern has already been used in several barefoot sandal drafts, but this one is unique because it is reverse of all of the others.  The Pineapple starts with the toe instead of from the top, which gives it an entirely new look!
