HOW TO CROCHET FLIP FLOPS

[@reeniegrl1]

I love this idea. I've seen many tutorials on it...but yours is by far the easiest to follow. Very pretty too... This will be on my project list........ Thanks so much....

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you. You are always so kind.🙂

[@bjg3807]

Great tutorial! The curved needle makes the sewing so much easier! I think it's an upholstery needle.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Yeap...that's the name...lol. :-) ..it was super helpful in attaching the yarn to the sole. Thanks for watching.

[@amygreenlee548]

I just want to start by saying for the past month or so I've watched honestly about 500 videos for beginners! No joke lol..... But once I watched your video on that beginners blanket I instantly could follow your instructions and voice easy as pie! I just "got it" for lack of a better phrase.... So I am for SURE a new subscriber and thank you for helping me find my way when I almost gave up trying. 😀

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you very much! You words are very kind. I'm glad I could help. 🙂

[@Truckers_wife]

Listening to your video sounds like you're sitting with a friend and learning crochet. Love it!

[@rhodaedwards7404]

Beautiful work and great tutorial. Thank you. A must try for me.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Hi! Thank you 💚

[@karenholder9967]

I definitely try this

[@52188972]

these are so cute! what are the chances that the sewing rips through the sole though?

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

I wore mine for a long time BUT they were more house shoes. If I ever reconstruct these I would change the design a bit. the sewing didn't rip through but the yarn, on the top, became less durable/almost stretchy but they worked for a while. 🙃🙂

[@52188972]

@@AhselAnneCrochet interesting, thanks!

[@missywiley3140]

Mom's a tight crocheter. I'm a tighter crocheter. We go a size up for the foundation row and use the needed size for the rest of the project.

[@homecare8182]

Better so far

Very nice and comfortable sandals! Thanks for sharing.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

They are! I still wear mine around that house.

[@anabetancourt9316]

So cute! ❤

[@rrhopewell]

Those are so cute. I really like it and plan on doing this on some old navy flip flops that i never wear.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you. I want to make some more. 🙂

[@juliewatson2281]

That’s a rug hook needle r upholstery needle. People years ago ago used to do their own reupholstering. Many years ago I was given a day bed set of mattresses. I converted it into a sofa. Built a back to it using one of those baby protective railings. That slid under the mattress and then built frame onto that. Found fabric I liked and made a slip cover for it. Treated mattress then like a large pillow and made a cover for it. Covered pillow forms became the back like you see sofas today. As for the needle, Years ago rag clothing was cut into strips and then braided so it forms a kind of rope which you form in a circle or square and then use that hooked needle to sew those ropings together to form a circular rug. That kind of hooked needle takes a bigger chunk of the fabric and makes the stitch sturdier. Actual using that gloves s a smart idea, it gives you a better grip on the needle. Less likely to slip and stab you self. They sell the tips of rubber gloves for quilters. Costs like $2-$3 for a set of five . Expensive when you can buy platex gloves and get double the amount. Very pretty. Well explained video.

[@brendajones8073]

Niceeeee something totally different. I love crocheting. I’m going to make me a pair.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Cool. Tip: Make sure the yarn is snug when you sew it down. I've worn mine for a while and over time the yarn begins to stretch. 😃

[@mirian593]

Loved it, thank you for sharing

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

You are so welcome!

[@bekkasmith2070]

These tutorials are awesome

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you!😊

[@catherinekay]

Great video! You do a great job of explaining everything!

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you. I have an idea for an updated version. Need to get that video made.

[@HappeeKnits]

Great tutorial! I loved your shoes!

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Hello There! Thank you ;-)

[@joelmusisi7162]

Woo thanks dear for sharing

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Hello, thank you!

[@berthacollins3523]

I need to make a size 9 and a size 8 how many do I start with and what size needle please, I would love to try this, thank you.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Hello. These are a size 9, I believe. Did I mention it in the video? I'll write down your comment and if I get a moment I'll go back and see if I mentioned it in the video.

[@lorenzoW25]

Can you please show me how to crochet around the shippers please.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Okay. I need to go buy some slippers first.

[@nikkiredberripresents]

What a great idea!

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thanks!😊

[@becjane1281]

They look so cool. Down here we call them "thongs"😁 Def will give them a go. Thank you for sharing

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

My pleasure 😊Thanks for watching!💚

[@collen2558]

I thought thongs were those silly panties that just have string for your bottom. Eewww

[@camillaysabelle1037]

The stitch you used to sew the crocheted yarn into the slippers did not look very neat but i was inspired to try this one out because of the furry slippers fad. I wish you modeled the slippers afterward as a final touch to the vid.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

I would agree...my sewing was a little crude. HA! The fuzzy slippers inspired me too, thus this version were born 🙂. Thanks for watching! I hope you were able to get the technique.

[@horselover9188]

So So cute. Thank you.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you!

[@rebs64]

very cute! tfs

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@mariaaldred3058]

Thank you. Would liked to see what they look like on the foot.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

I wish I would have filmed that too. I still have these. I wear them more as house shoes, check the mail type of shoes, because the yarn isn't really water proof. I bought some Waterproofing spray but I never ended up using it 😊

[@chelleweatherspoon2226]

Yes, flipflop quaity matters. I got some cheap ones that almost made me fall because the sole was too floppy. And I prefer flipflop soles that are not too slick.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Yep! that was a lesson learned for me too. 🙂

[@colleenholland2653]

Upholstery needle

[@pblessed9455]

Very well done. I'll try this. Thank you.

[@elkeellis756]

It's an upholstery needle...

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Oh okay. Thanks for letting me know💚

[@jonelledixon]

How can I crotchet sole so that the flip flop sole isn’t showing

[@horselover9188]

That would be hard, as wearing them would wear down pretty much anything you used to cover the bottom (unless worn in the house only.)

[@DebsPartee]

Gr8 idea!

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you!!!

[@livingintheraw1]

The only problem I see here is, if worn outside, this sewing thread will be worn through Very quickly. I make shoes out of leather and have sole material. You'd have to sole them or sew them from the middle of the flip flop, and not the bottom of the shoe. Otherwise, love what you did. I don't like things in between my toes.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

I agree. I'm trying to perfect these little shoes :-). I have so many ideas using crocheting and soles of flip flops 🙂. I thought about sealing with scotch guard or using a different medium to attach the crochet piece to the shoe. I'll make a video if I come up with a better concept. Thanks for watching!

[@oldtimerlee8820]

When you sew, start on the top side and have the needle come out the side of the flipflop. Or insert the needle in the side half way between the top and bottom of the flipflop -- where you have the pins with the ball head inserted. That way you won't have the yarn in direct contact with the floor. Sealing with ScotchGuard will not make a material difference in how quickly the yarn wears out when every step makes contact with the floor. Especially floors that are NOT covered with carpet.

How many for kids

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Sorry I don't know, I didn't' make a child size pair.

[@juliewatson2281]

Take a sewing tape measure, measure the kids foot, From the floor, measure the foot across going over the top of the foot to the floor. Take whatever type yarn you are using. Make a little swatch. See how many stitches fit in one inch. Then take the measurement from the foot. Say maybe that is 6 inches. Multiply the number of stitches for one inch by the number of inches you measured across the foot. That should give you the base amount. I would add 2 or 3 stitches more to give room to slip the slipper on or off more easily. That’s pretty much how you figure sizing in doing crochet work.

[@hazelmasula9489]

Good tutorials. I'm envious, I can't follow.

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Oh no. Well it gets easier once you get started. If you can get past the first two rows you'll have it.

[@hazelmasula9489]

@@AhselAnneCrochet thanks

[@roselynbowens5372]

how do you get hid the hole

[@juliewatson2281]

When you cut the band off, you pop out what’s left Over in the hole. Cut the stem off so this forms like a button that lays flat. Then from the top side, put glue around the edges of it and push it back in the hole. It refills the hole so water doesn’t come up from the bottom and you aren’t snagging anything like stockings or hosiery.

[@scolasticaokumu1227]

nice one

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Thank you!

[@abunuhu3066]

very i

[@colleenholland2653]

[@AhselAnneCrochet]

Yes, you can that would make it alot easier.
