Pattern Description:

This was originally conceived as a boy pattern. I had to use a sport weight yarn to make the straps for the smaller sizes and the pink was all I had. I used it to check the sizing and it came out looking fabulous in the design unveiling its potential as a unisex pattern. So here is another one to add to my line of sandals, a design that will suit a boy as well as a girl. If you ask me to choose my favorite, this one will win hands down. I love the fluorescent colors, the styling, the ease with which it works up just about everything.
