Flip Flop Socks in Crochet
This pattern was inspired by the Short Toed Socklets on the Coats.de website. Several gals over
at Crochetville were trying to come up with a crochet version; this is what I did.
While both socks illustrate an enviable fashion sense, the one on the left is made from the original
knit pattern; the one on the left is the crocheted version I came up with. Please excuse the $1.99
flip flops; I was planning on dressing them up, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Calling this a pattern is actually a bit of a misnomer; this is more of a guideline than a pattern
proper. It’s what I did to fit my US size 7 foot; you may have to use your imagination and adjust
some stitch counts.
I think this pattern could be worked in any weight yarn – just experiment with hook sizes.
However, if you want something that will actually fit in your shoe, I think the best results will be
achieved by using yarn that is sport, sock, or fingering weight. …But Lion Brand BIG might just be
uproariously funny.
Stitch markers may be helpful in keeping track of where your rounds end and begin, but are not
necessary. I didn’t use them because I’m really lazy and didn’t want to go find mine.

Materials
Red Heart Lustersheen (shown in Dk. Mulberry)
Size D (3.25mm) Crochet Hook
Stitch marker (opt.)
Ribbing
Foundation Row: Leaving a long tail for sewing, ch 4, sc in 2nd chain from hook and in each
across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 1: Working in back loops only, sc in each sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2-?: Repeat Row 1 until you have a strip that will fit around your foot comfortably. For my
US size 7 foot, it took 50 rows.
Main Body of Socklet
Please note that the main body of the socklet is worked perpendicular to the edge of the ribbing.
Join ends of ribbing with a slip stitch, ch 1.
Row 1: Work 1 sc in same stitch as sl st, and in each row of ribbing around.
Row 2-?: Working in the round sc in each sc, until socklet body reaches desired length. For my
foot, I worked approximately 2� of sc.
Toe Division
Here’s the part where you’ll need to use your imagination a little bit. The numbers given fit my foot; you
maybe have to experiment and fudge a bit to find what will fit your foot. (Free pattern, remember? This is
why you hire professionals, ha!)
Sc around the tube until you reach the point where your big toe will be. Ch 4, sk 15 sc, sc in next
stitch and in remaining sts of round. (Stitch numbers are approximate; this fit my foot, but you
may need a different number of stitches.) When all is said and done, you should now have
something that looks like a lopsided ‘8’.
Small Toe Sleeve
Sc in each sc around until you reach ch, sc in back loops only of ch, sc in both loops of
remaining sc’s. Work even. sc in each sc around until you reach the side of the sock where your
little toe will be. Repeat [sc2tog, sc in next sc] two times. Sc in each remaining sc around. Work
even. If necessary, alternate last two rounds until sock reaches desired length (I didn’t have to,
but with one glaring exception, I have pretty short toes). Fasten off.
Big Toe Sleeve
Join yarn in any sc. sc in each sc until you reach ch4. sc in front loops only of ch4. Sc in both
loops of each remaining sc around, and work even for required number of rows to be even with
other section of socklet. Fasten off.
Finishing
This pattern doesn’t have a seam allowance; to sew up ribbing, align edges side-by-side and join
with whipstitch to create a flat seam. Weave in ends.

[mason204]

I just came across your pattern. Wow, that's a pretty close match to the knitted version. I was just finishing a pair of socks and wondering what I'd do with the leftover yarn. I'll be sure to start these soon. Hey, I'll be sure to post my finished socks. Thanks for sharing your pattern!! :clap

P.S. Up until recently, I was calling these sandals thongs. That was until I taught 40 elementary school children to folk dance and mentioned to the group at large that it wouldn't be wise for them to wear thongs on the day of the performance. :eek There was much giggling and smirking until I understood why. I had to explain to them that "back in my day", flip flops were thongs!! :lol

[JustRenee]

lol mason rofl

[knit-errant]

Oh, wow! What a surprise to see my pattern as a CAL! I'm just absolutely giddy. :D

Everybody's sockies are coming out really well! Great job ladies! They're all very cute. :) I hope the pattern was easy enough to follow... I wing things more than coming up with actual patterns.

[JustRenee]

The pattern was very easy to follow, as a newbie to crocheting I Loooooved it :) I used sock yarn for mine :)

[Mermaiden]

Okay, so I am inadvertently in this CAL! hehe. Started today, halfway done right now! I varied on the pattern a bit.

1. Using a medium worsted yarn, it's pretty thin though a real sport would be better (not best, but better). It's pretty thin for a Red Heart. Just loved the colors! Tried, and it fits fine with a flip flop, too.

2. Also, I just despise doing SC's over and over so I varied there too! After the ribbing and row of sl-st, 1 rows of SC's, I did a row of hdc, dc, sc, dc... besides, it makes the color pattern more interesting. ^_^
