If you've mastered the tatted flower instructable and the Fluerette necklace, you have all the skills you need to make these barefoot sandals.
These sandals use the same pattern as The Queen's Feet Barefoot sandals available in my etsy shop.
You will need basic needle tatting experience easily learned in my other instructables including the double stitch(ds), picots(p), rings(r), chains(ch) and joining as well as Josephine chains and basic crochet.
This design uses size 10 crochet cotton, a size 5 tatting needle and a size 7 or 8 crochet hook.

Signing UpStep 1: The Center Clover
Make two center rings, one for each sandal:
The pattern is 4 rings of 5ds, p, 3ds, 9p sep by 3ds, p, 5ds close join each ring together by the 1st and 11th picot.
To join the first and fourth rings together for the center motif, first I make the last ring up to the final join, then I pull those stitches off the needle being careful to not pull the thread all the way through. Then I use a crochet hook to make the join and work the last stitches. Pull those stitches through, finish and close the ring. See the photos for details.

Adding thread if you don't start with enough is easy though, just tie a knot after a ring and hide ends. re-thread your needle and run it through the tatting under the knot and you're ready to start again.
I am trying really hard to understand how to do the 4 ring part. Is there a video tutorial for this portion?
In the first picture I see the 5ds then is that where you pick up thread thru the picot? and if so do you skip doing a picot at that point? I did a picot and keep getting large gaps there.
It is a little difficult to do and takes some practice to get, but I hope that helped a bit.
Oh.
The sound of a thousand foot fetishists suddenly, simultaneously, becoming apoplectic.
i tried knitting and crochet a long time ago.. so i know this requires talent and patience :)
One question I have though, is how do you come up with your patterns?
Thank you so much for your instructable.
Can't wait til the pattern tans onto the top of my feet... heheh
