Rollerskates
There is something wonderfully nostalgic about a pair of classic rollerskates, and this cheerful design captures all that retro charm in stitches. Bold red boots with blue wheels make for a striking finished piece that nods warmly to the golden age of skating rinks and carefree weekends.
Whether you grew up lacing up your own skates or simply love the aesthetic of a bygone era, this pattern is a joy to work through. It makes a delightful framed piece for a hobby room or a thoughtful handmade gift for someone with a love of vintage style.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
