Notes:
*The body of the sandals and the straps are worked separately.
*Hdc cluster  (hdc2tog): yarn over, insert hook into the st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert hook into the same st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.
*Dc cluster (dc2tog): yarn over, insert hook into the st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook, yarn over, insert hook into the same st, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook, yarn over, pull through the three remaining loops on the hook.
*The rows are worked back and forth, with you turning at the beginning (or end, that’s a personal preference) of each row.
*On rows 2 and 3 feature stitches that you work between the stitches, you need to know how to do this.

Fasten off, weave in ends.

Finishing: For the straps I crocheted a picot after every 10 chs (I think it gives it a bit of personality).
