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!
