Ice Skate Iron-On Embroidered Patch

For anyone whose ice skating style is less Torvill and Dean, more clinging to the side.

This embroidered ice skate patch from Petra Boase is far more accomplished. A navy boot with gold laces and toe, turquoise stars, a tiny lightning bolt and flashes of neon coral, all sitting on a silver stitched blade. It has a slightly retro roller-rink feel despite being very definitely built for ice.

Iron it onto a jacket, sweatshirt, tote bag or Christmas stocking for an easy bit of winter decoration that doesn’t involve sequins or a novelty jumper. The colours make it festive without screaming Christmas, so it can happily stay around long after the tree has come down.

A brilliant little stocking filler for ice skaters, skating fans, winter babies or anyone who spends December insisting that this will finally be the year they go to an outdoor ice rink.

No actual skating ability required.
