Roller Skates
First, crochet the boots as described above. For the roller skates you need 8 beads with a large
hole in the middle and two cotton swabs or toothpicks.
Start at the back of the shoe and crochet inside the front loop stitches of R 03: 16 x sl st
Cut the cotton swabs or toothpicks for the required length.
Hold the swabs to the shoe to find out the right length.
(I needed about 3 cm/1,18 inches)

Slide the shortened cotton swabs through the chain stitches.
Put on the outside of your swabs some glue, slide them inside your beads and let them dry.
Have fun crocheting!
