Round 1: Start in the second chain from the hook. Create 12 single crochets. In the last chain, do 4 single crochets. Turn and create 11 single crochets on the opposite side. Increase in the last stitch to have 29 stitches total.

Round 2: Increase in the next stitch, then do 11 single crochets. Increase in the next 4 stitches. Create 11 single crochets. Increase in the last 2 stitches to have 36 stitches total.

Round 3: Do 1 sc, increase in the next stitch. Create 4 single crochets. Do 2 half double crochets (hdc). Create 4 double crochets (dc). Do 2 hdc, then 1 sc. Repeat: single crochet then increase for 3 times. Create 1 sc, 2 hdc, 3 dc, 2 hdc, 4 sc. Increase in the next stitch. Slip stitch and cut off yarn for the first sole only. Make the second sole the same way.

Sole worked in rounds showing increases and the stitch texture that shapes the tiny sandal base.

Joining Parts

Place the two soles together with the right sides facing up. Position the upper part on the soles so it fits comfortably over the toe area. Pin parts to keep them in place.

Use single crochets to join the parts together, making sure all sides are aligned. Continue single crochets all the way around the parts to secure them together. Slip stitch at the end and cut the yarn. Weave in loose ends neatly.

Soles and upper aligned and pinned — ready to be joined with single crochet stitches.

Flower

Chain Foundation: Use orange yarn, Chain 3.

Petals: In the second chain from the hook, create 1 hdc, then slip stitch. Repeat the chain 3, 1 hdc, and slip stitch pattern five times to create 5 petals. Chain 1 and cut the yarn.

Attach the flower to your desired side of the sole using a few secure stitches. Hide the yarn tail inside the sole or weave it under stitches on the underside.

Small orange crochet flower made from five petals — a cheerful accent for the sandal.

Finish

Attach a keychain hook or split ring to complete your keychain. Make sure the hook is sewn or fastened securely. Trim any remaining loose ends and tuck them in so the piece looks neat.

Tips

• If needed, adjust the number of chains or rounds to change the sandal size slightly to fit your preferred look.
• Use a yarn needle to weave ends and to secure the keychain hook discreetly on the inside of the sole.
• Try other color combos or add small beads for extra decoration.

Final Look: You will have a cute crochet sandal keychain with a decorative flower — a perfect handmade gift or a cheerful everyday accessory.
