When your best friend requests a pair of knit hockey skates for the announcement of her first pregnancy, you deliver! I couldn’t find a knit pattern that I was happy with when making these, so I designed my own. I wanted nothing short of amazing for my bestie, and I was thrilled with how these little booties turned out!

NOTES
The yards/grams listed is the total amount used for both baby booties. 
The crochet hook is used to chain together the laces and used to pick up stitches for the skate blade along the bottom of the booties. 
No crochet hook? As an alternative, your DPNs can be used to pick up stitches for the skate blade, and you can braid the white yarn to make the laces!
