Queen of the Rink Crown
Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Games are sometimes used in derby as a training tool. Dodgeball on skates is not only fun, but it also gets a girl used to moving quickly on her feet, and get her geared up and feeling aggressive. But the best training game of all has got to be Queen of the Rink. It’s simple, fun, and an effective way to train how to block. The game is simple: every girl gets out on the track, starts skating and blocking, and the last one standing is the Queen of the Rink! the crown is a fun way to celebrate the winner. Knit with a sturdy yet pretty hemp yarn combined with a soft and sparkly metallic yarn, it stays in place but gives a little bling at the same time. Tired of wearing a crown on your head? Then use it as a necklace! there’s a little crochet involved in the finishing, but it’s a simple chain stitch, so even a gal not fully skilled with a crochet hook should have not problems here.”
