Ice Cream Flip Flops for Kids! Crochet Pattern
The kiddo in your life can treat their feet with these adorable crocheted ice cream flip flops this summer! Made using sturdy but breathable cotton yarn, this pattern is the perfect way to dress up a pair of ordinary flip flops. The pattern is easy and fast, but looks incredibly cute and detailed when finished!
(Pin it for later!)
This pattern can also be adjusted to accommodate other Kids’ shoe sizes; just move your hook size up or down to adjust to different sizes. This way, your kiddos can have ice cream flip flops even as they grow out of their current shoe size! Just keep crocheting new ones alongside their growth spurts! With a few adjustments to number of increases per row on the Cone portion of the pattern, you could probably also adjust this to an Adult size, as well.
I used a pair of Dollar Tree flip flops for this project, so you can make these flip flops without breaking the bank by using a pair you already own, or a fun and inexpensive pair you find in the store! I’m a big fan of these adorable ice cream flip flops for kids that I found on Amazon HERE
If you’re looking for a cute, fast, and inexpensive way to dress up your kids’ beach wardrobe this summer, then you will love this pattern!
