12 Crochet Shoe Patterns
We all know you can crochet yourself some socks, but did you know you can crochet yourself some shoes too? Here are 12 crochet shoe patterns to get you on your way in this new and creative endeavor!
The biggest challenge in crocheting shoes is that yarn is not necessarily tough enough to withstand outside wear and tear. That’s why you’ll find some of the creators of these designs have had the industrious idea to use inexpensive flip flops as the base of their design!
Some of the other designs do use yarn for the entire pattern. These ones might be better worn mostly as house slippers since they do have soft soles.
What yarn should you use for crocheted shoes?
I would suggest cotton yarn for crochet shoe patterns. As far as yarn goes, cotton is quite durable. It also holds up well to washing and drying. Since these items will be on your feet and touching the ground, you’ll definitely want to be able to wash them without worrying.
Cotton yarn is also a breathable and cooling fiber. This will help keep your feet from getting too hot or sweaty, especially since many of these designs are more summer fashion styles.
You could choose an even more durable material, like a rope or jute for your shoes, but those fibers can be irritating on the skin. Cotton provides the best of both worlds with the durability, but also the comfort.
