Now it’s time to make the body of the ice skate. We will make the skate first and then sew it onto the square above the blade. I used Big Twist Value Yarn in Varsity Green, but again any color #4 yarn would work.
BOOT:
Row 1: Ch 20, scdec across 3rd and 4th chs, hdc in remaining 16 chs, turn. (17 sts)
Row 2: Ch 2, hdc in 1st 13 sts, scdec, scdec. Turn.
(15 sts)
Row 3: Ch 1, scdec, hdc in remaining 13 sts. Turn.
(14 sts)
Row 4: Ch 2, hdc in 1st 10 sts, scdec, scdec. Turn.
(12 sts)
Row 5: Ch 1, scdec, hdc in remaining 10 sts. Turn.
(11 sts)
Row 6: Ch 2, hdc in 1st 7 sts, scdec, scdec. Turn.
(9 sts)
Row 7: Ch 1, scdec, hdc in remaining 7 sts. Turn. (8 sts)
Rows 8-10: Ch 2, hdc across. Turn.
(8 sts)
Work sc around the entire skate boot to round off the edges.
Leave a long tail for sewing and fasten off.
Now sew the skate onto the square, directly above the blade.
