Get that summer feeling by crocheting this little flip-flop dish sponge and using it to wash dishes. It’s made with creative bubble yarn from rico design (a similar yarn from Rellana is just hitting the market—you can use that, too). This flip-flop makes the perfect little gift—for example, for those spending their vacation at home who want to give friends and relatives a “souvenir” from their “staycation.”

The pattern explains step-by-step how to crochet the flip-flop. The design is tailored to its specific use and avoids the need to weave in many loose ends. In the end, only two loose ends need to be woven in.

The pattern is suitable for beginner crocheters. Only basic stitches are used.

In addition to the yarn, you’ll need a 4.0 or 3.5 mm crochet hook, a darning needle, and a pair of scissors.
