Welcome to my crochet flip flops pattern. The finished flip flops are going to look like this. I was asked if I could design some appliques for a beach scene so this is the first of the series, I’ll have a beach umbrella and chair to follow soon.
There’s also a video tutorial for this pattern available on my YouTube channel at Crochet Flip Flops Tutorial.
