This is a free pattern for those barefoot sandals that are
all the rage.

There’s really no gauge.
Want it bigger, use a bigger hook or thicker thread. Want it smaller, use a smaller hook or
thinner thread.
The finished size of my motif without the strings attached
was 2.5 inches high by 2.5 inches across at the base.

Feel free to make and sell as many barefoot sandals as you

her friends and make enough to go to that rock concert.
