<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is my first real attempt at improvising a pattern, and
after a few tries and a couple of hours, I had my very own original barefoot
sandals!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really love barefoot
sandals, and most of the patterns I’ve seen have been a triangular shape, so I
decided to try a round pattern, which when worn is more of an oval shape that
reminded me of a cameo. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is also my first try at a written pattern, so bare with
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used a combination of 3 shades of
pink embroidery floss (Colors A, B, and C), size 3 crochet thread in Bridal White(Color
D), and a size C hook to create these.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
variations, I would add some beads or charms to the ends of the laces, or
replace the laces themselves with ribbon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Any 4 colors or threads will do, so use your creativity to create your
own ^_^</span></div>
