Ladies Sandals
It’s the last Friday in August and before we skip right on over to Christmas (like many stores do way too early), here’s a summer time crochet pattern for a ladies sandal made with rug yarn.
When I first saw them, they reminded be a little of a bohemian or hippie style. Clunky, but sturdy and useful none the less.
Rug Yarn
This crochet pattern comes from a vintage Coats & Clark’s booklet on rug yarn projects. I’ll share more patterns from this useful little booklet sometime soon.
Directions are given for Women’s Size and changes for Men’s Size are in parentheses. Size is determined by the purchased pairs of foam rubber insoles.
You’ll need three 70 yard skeins of rug yarn. Two for the sole of the sandal and one for the straps. The gauge is 10 sc = 3 inches; 2 rnds = 3/4 inch and a Size H crochet hook is used.

Those vintage rug yarns are brutal! You’d be lucky to have any skin left after wearing these, probably. I wonder how the hemp or hemp blend yarns would do in these? Hemp’s strong, it would be perfect for it I think. I wonder if anyone has made a pair yet. I’d like to see pictures.
