Crochet Baby Sandals

These Knitted Infant Flip-Flops are Incredibly Cute for Summer

— July 4, 2014 — Fashion
Get your newborn ready for the beach with these adorable crochet baby sandals. Now your baby can enjoy wearing these super soft flip-flops that look just like miniature versions of the ones her mom and dad wear.

Blogger and knitter Whistle and Ivy creatively designed these little flip-flops to fit the incredibly tiny feet of newborn infants. While crochet is typically seen as a material and design pattern often featured in winter clothing items, Whistle and Ivy makes crochet fun for summer by using it to create tiny baby shoes. These infant flip-flops are made with fun pastel colors like pink, purple and blue. So that the sandals stay better on the feet of little ones, Whistle and Ivy has added a nifty little crochet band to keep these flip-flops from sliding off.
