Step-by-Step Instructions

Making the Flip-flop Sole

Round 1:

1. Start with a slipknot and chain (ch) 15.
2. Work 2 double crochet stitches (dc) into the 4th chain from the hook.
3. Work 1 dc into the next 10 stitches.
4. In the last chain, work 5 dc.
5. Now, rotate your work and crochet along the opposite side:
   • Work 1 dc into the next 10 stitches while crocheting over the yarn tail for a clean finish.
   • Work 2 dc into the last stitch (to complete the set of 5 stitches on this end).
6. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) into the 3rd chain from the start.

Round 2:

1. Chain 2 (it counts as 1 half double crochet—hdc).
2. Work 1 hdc into the same stitch.
3. Work 2 hdc into the next 2 stitches.
4. Work 1 hdc into the next 6 stitches.
5. Work 1 single crochet (sc) into the next 3 stitches.
6. Crochet 1 hdc, then 2 hdc into the next 5 stitches (10 hdc in total).
7. Crochet 1 hdc, then 1 sc in the next 3 stitches.
8. Work 6 hdc and finally, 2 hdc into the next 2 stitches.
9. End the round with a slip stitch (sl st) into the 2nd chain from the start.
10. Pull up the yarn and cut it. Weave in the tails neatly.
11. Repeat to make the second sole.

Adding the Flip-flop Straps

1. Insert your hook between the 1st and 2nd single crochet stitches from Round 2, then pull the yarn through.
2. Chain 12.
3. Insert the hook into the placement shown in the referenced video. Pull the yarn through and create a slip stitch (sl st).
4. Work 1 sl st into the next 2 chain stitches.
5. Chain 10.
6. Slip stitch between the 2nd and 3rd single crochet to create the second strap.
7. Work 1 sl st into each chain stitch of the straps, and continue slip stitching into each stitch along the base of the flip-flop.
8. Pull up the yarn, cut it, and weave in the tails.

Joining the Two Soles

1. Align the two sole pieces (ensure the right sides of both are facing outward).
2. Create a slipknot on your hook.
3. Using a surface stitch, join the two layers together by going through both loops on each side.
4. Work a surface stitch all the way around the sole, securing both layers together.
5. Pull up the yarn, cut it, and weave in the ends. Make sure to hide the tails behind the slipper and trim any excess.

Attaching the Key Ring

1. Attach the key ring to either the top or the bottom of the flip-flop (choose your preferred placement).
2. Secure it tightly for durability.
