Crochet HookK/10.5 or 6.5 mm hook

Materials:
- 760-134 Lion Cotton Yarn: (A) 1 Avocado ball

GAUGE:
10 single crochet = 4 in. (10 cm) with 2 strands of yarn held together. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STRAP WRAP
With 1 strand each of A and B held together, make a slip knot. Holding the strands across top of flip flop strap, insert hook under strap and yarn over, creating 2 loops on hook, yarn over again and pull strands through both loops - single crochet around strap made.
Continue working until strap is covered.
FINISHING
Ruffle
Join 1 strand each of A and C held together with slip stitch in first single crochet of Wrap.
Row 1: *Chain 3, slip stitch in next stitch; repeat from * across Wrap. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

During the summer, I have a few nieces and nephews that come to stay with me for a week. I take them to the local aquarium, beach and other similar outings. I love to give them something when they come and when they go home. I am making these for the girls and modifying the pattern to make for the boys. The boys flops will not be as frilly.

This is how you up-cycle an inexpensive item like a shower shoe. I see these in the local dollar stores all of the time and usually pass them by. Until I started seeing crochet patterns on how to make them into something spectacular. I love this one because of how easy it is to complete. I am adding this pattern to the collection.
