Dang Flip Flops

I know I had this pattern, but can't locate it. I'm looking for the Flip Flop pattern that is trimmed in fun fur? Anyone have a copy or link? My mother wants three pairs. YIKES! Thanks ya'll

Okay...that was my one moment of pure stupid for the month..I found the pattern on Lion Brand's site. Whoo..I need sleep!

I was just about to refer you there! Actually it's pretty simple: single crochet around all the straps! That's about it. I made a pair for myself with Bernat Boa in Ostrich (black/white) and they came out looking very nice!!!

I'd like to make a pair of these, but I keep imagining that as you wear them the crocheted part will start to slip around and bunch up? Does anyone know if that happens?

[buggaboosmommy]

I haven't heard any real problems with the flip flops, like bunching. I'm going to get a pair today and give it a try so I'll let you know how it works out.

I have also seen them made by tying ballons around the strap, or strips of fabric. I made a pair using condoms for a bridal shower, lol

I made these last year for everyone and so far no problems bunching. I wear them all the time. I have made them in every color and every combo!! My sons girlfriend and her friends love them. In fact all the girls love them big and small!!

I made 2 pairs, and used fun fur doubled up, and to make sure that it wouldn't move around (like you are worried about) I sc really tight. I made a few sc, slid them down, did a few more sc, slid them down, all the way around. They are nice and thick! They do shed though!

Thanks for all the great info! I think I'm going to hit the dollar store tonight and look for flipflops!

Thanx for the info on these flip flops. I have wondered about them slipping as well as the shedding knowing when I work with fun fur it tends to shed just by working with it. I have the flip flops....now just need the time to make them cute like everyone elses'.

I just did a pair for my girl. We used the red heart bright and lofty in licorice on a pair of black f/f and she loves them. They don't seem to bunch or slide, but I tried to keep my sc's close together to avoid that. I have the booklet from Annie's Attic if anyone wants more info - it has little 'things' that you can crochet to attach after you cover the straps. I'd be happy to share the info. Just send me an email at mrsfrenchy3@att.net

I'm making these for each attendee at our MOMS Club End of the year banquet. They work up really fast. So far I've used Boa and ChaCha. I did a black pair with the Boa Ostrich too. LOVE them. When your making them you bunch all your sc's together anyway so they shouldn't really move when your done.

 

I also really like the ones the kids are making with the fleece strips. Those are super cute.
