Can Beginners Make These Ice Skates?
This crochet Christmas ornament, shaped like mini ice skates, is very quick to complete and requires basic skills. Beginners are welcome to give it a try, although its super small design might be tricky to handle, especially for those who have barely any experience.
Materials You’ll Need For Your Ice Skates Ornament
To make these crochet ice skates, you will need some worsted-weight yarn and a 3.75 mm crochet hook. The pattern calls for very small amounts of yarn, so you may not even need to buy any yarn – simply use the scraps left from your other projects.
The scrap pieces will also work perfectly as stuffing, giving your work a plump and three-dimensional look. You can also use regular paper clips as skate blades.
Step-By-Step Overview of The Pattern
Start this project by attaching the yarn to your paper clip with single crochets. After doing so, you will begin crocheting the body of your ice skates in joined rounds.
Before moving on to work up the cuff section with a different color, be sure to stuff your work slightly. Once you have it completed, weave white yarn back and forth across the front of the shoe to create laces.
The last step is forming the hanger by crocheting a long chain tail tied in a bow.
