Skill Level Required For the Cabin Boots
The Cabin Boots with Flip Flop Soles Pattern is the perfect make for intermediates. The project starts by poking the holes in the flip-flop soles which requires some patience and precision. Once done, you will move on to crochet the slippers’ base and sides.
The pattern uses simple stitches like single crochet, double crochet, and half double crochet.
What You’ll Need Before You Stitch
To make these chunky crochet slippers, you will need super bulky yarn, three hook sizes, and flip-flops, of course! The designer recommends choosing one size smaller than what you wear normally.
As for the yarn, consider using Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick, which is a blend of wool and acrylic fibers. The pattern calls for the hooks in the following sizes: 8 mm, 6.5 mm, and 2.25 mm to work through the flip-flop holes.
How to Prep Flip-Flops for Crocheting
The correct placement of the poke holes in the flip-flop soles is the trickiest part in this pattern. To make things easier, Jess Comppom provides a printable ruler with evenly spaced holes. You simply put it around the sole and punch the holes with a needle. This way, you are sure that you have the right number of poke holes to achieve the gauge.
