The thongs I bought last year have become
very worn around the right toe area …
… so I trashed them and bought new ones today
at the $ Store to replace them. But the old ones had a comfortable fabric toe
post and upper slings, and the new ones have a rubber toe post and upper slings:
So after we got back home from downtown and
ate a quick and light Supper, I crocheted around the toe post of the new things
with matching lightweight crochet cotton to keep my inner toes from getting
blistered. I didn’t need it to be fancy … just comfortable :-D
There is no pattern; I just got busy ;-) But
if you want to do something similar to your thongs, all you need is Size
#10 Mercerized Cotton Thread, & a very small headed crochet hook.
Make a chain to go around the thong post – join to encircle post and work in
round to the upper straps, then crochet a chain long enough to reach around the
strap, join to the beginning strap chain and sl st across the front of the post
to the other strap and repeat. End off and weave thread in neatly. Repeat for second
thong.
That’s it!
Easy peasy ;-)
