Mother Earth Loves Monarchs: Milkweed Barefoot Sandals

These cute little sandals will help keep you in touch with Mother Nature as you feel her green grass and warm sand beneath your bare feet.

You can adjust the size by using thicker or thinner yarn and larger or smaller hook. If you need any help or spot any errors, please contact me.

You may make items from this pattern for personal use, as gifts, or for charity. Items may not be made to sell for your own profit.

They were inspired by the “Life of a Monarch Butterfly Playset” which I designed to help you teach your young children about the life cycle of Monarch butterflies and how the shortage of one little plant—the Milkweed wildflower—can impact a whole species. The David Suzuki Foundation is raising awareness of this issue and encouraging people to plant Milkweed: plant a little or a lot, and the Monarch Butterflies will thank you by visiting your balcony or garden! 50% of the profit from each pattern will be donated by me as a personal donation to the David Suzuki Foundation to help them fund all their environmental programmes including Monarch conservation.

NOTE: I am not associated or affiliated with the David Suzuki Foundation in any way. The “Milkweed Barefoot Sandals” is unknown to their organization and is solely my idea. The funds I donate from selling my pattern will be a personal donation made just as you may go to their website and donate to the Foundation. If at any time I stop donating 50% of the profits from pattern sales of this design I will remove the statement of intent to do so from the pattern and sales listings.
