Released in 1997, retired in 2000.
Minnesota winters were long and hard, but Kirsten still found ways to have fun. She especially loved to skate on the stream near the Larsons’ cabin. Mama made Kirsten a warm coat from a heavy wool Hudson’s Bay blanket. Cream colored with red stripes, the coat had a cozy hood with a red tassel in back and buttons that were carved out of horn. Wrap Kirsten’s red scarf around her neck, and help her strap on her ice skates—they have little cut-out hearts in their blades.
This is one of the best outfits ever made. The coat is made from a real Hudson's Bay Blanket which is so soft and warm feeling. I wish it came in my size. The wool coat repels snow nicely and is very warm. It has a little hood with a tassel which was just the thing in 1854. The scarf is nicely knit and has a very pretty Scandinavian feel to it. The ice skates are real wood, leather and metal. The blades of the skates curve up into a little heart shape. I haven't had problems with the skates breaking. They are usually stored in her trunk and she has worn them a few times. I got this set immediately when it was released.
