A cute little pair of skates to use as an ornament or for your doll!
I am a firm believer in the fact that with a hook (or needles) and yarn, you can make anything. Anything includes these beautiful and surprisingly lifelike figure skates for your doll. With a relatively small amount of white yarn, you can make these even if you do not have the means to make the complex blades by simply being creative with a paperclip. These are amazing skates that will fit 18” dolls. Mine was modelled by and made for a Maplelea doll, such as those at maplelea.ca.

Materials:

  1. 50 meters (approx.) white yarn, worsted weight

  2. tapestry needle, scissors, your basic notions

  3. 3.75 mm hook or size needed to obtain gauge

  4. paperclips for blades or metal for skate blades and plates, leather, and hot glue (more information in the pattern)

  5. tape for ends of laces
