Description
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Martina shoes are crocheted directly onto pre-punched soles. Once the shoes are finished, you’ll need to crochet a ‘‘band’’ inside using the elastic thread to prevent them from slipping off your feet.
The pattern itself is not technically difficult; however, due to the fluffy yarn, which makes stitch visibility more challenging, it is better suited to intermediate to advanced crocheters.
The soles recommended for this pattern are suitable for outdoor use. That said, I recommend adding a thin adhesive sole for increased durability and longevity of your shoes.
SIZES
37/38 (24.5 cm) – 39/40 (25.5 cm)
The pattern is written for the two available Opry sole sizes.
If you can’t find your size in the Opry soles listed below, you can use flip-flop soles and punch the holes yourself using a tapestry needle. The pattern will need to be slightly adjusted.

GAUGE
Due to the fluffy texture of the yarn, it is impossible to measure gauge. For this design, gauge isn’t critical—just make sure to maintain consistent tension and avoid crocheting too loosely.
