Just like his skateboarding idol Tony Hawk, little Casey is a
precocious little kid! He learned his flips, jumps and tricks
at a very early age. With his little red cap and his skate-
board, he’s ready for a totally awesome, exciting, and exhila-
rating adventure! Unlike your average turtle, this 5 inch tall
all about cutie loves the adrenaline you get from the speed of his lit-

casey and list tle skateboard. This little tyke also loves to just fool around
and play. He loves the color red as well! As can be seen with
of materials his cap and the outline around his skateboard.

He’s so excited to meet you all!

This pattern doesn’t only show you how to make little casey
but his skateboard as well!

His skateboard, was designed by my dad and we’re very ex-

cited to show you how to make this really simple but totally
fab skateboard.

Start placing the eyes with the eye roundies to the face. Make sure that the eyes line up between the 11th and 12th
row. To position the eyes, “flatten” the eye roundies making sure the end is just 2 sts before any of the increases of row
11 were made. Once you’re happy with the positioning, sew the eye roundies in place and fasten/lock the safety eyes

You may also start stuffing the head starting "om this point

rnd 17: * Sc in each of the next 2 st, dec **, repeat from * to ** 5 times [15]

a tad bit wider

all the way to the other side of the last row and fasten the

Note that in no way can this skateboard move/roll. This
skateboard is simply for a decorative purpose. You may also
refer to the pictures on the next page for your choice of de-
sign for the board

making the SKATEBOARD HOW TO:

1. Using the big cardboard, draw a box measuring 9 1/2

skateboard inches by 3 1/2 inches

2. After drawing the box, make sure to round the bottom

edges

3. For the top part, measure 2 1/2 inches from the tip and
mark it with a pencil. After marking this, also look for
the center of the top part. Mark it. This will indicate
where you will have a tip. From the 2 1/2” mark, connect
it to the tip. Make sure to make it a bit rounded as you go
up.

4.You may cut the outline that you’ve traced and start deco-
rating it according to how you want it to look like

5. Get one of the cylinder, a pencil and the remaining of the long piece of card board.
Trace the inside of the cylinder to get a circle for the wheel. Repeat this 4 times and cut
each of them. These will serve as the wheel decorations

6. Design your cut wheel covers. After designing it, stick one to each cylinder’s hole

7. After designing each piece, get your double sided tape and cut two 3 1/2” pieces. stick it
to the 2 1/2 inch mark at the top and the 1” mark at the bottom

8. Stick your cylinder to the respective double sided taped places.

9. Your little skateboard is done!!!!
