Crochet Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your Ice Pop Applique. Stitch counts are provided at the end of each row in brackets for your convenience.

Ice Pop Body (Any Colour)

Begin with your chosen color yarn for the ice pop body.

Row 1: Creating the Base (15 sts)

  1. Chain 7.
  2. Starting in the second chain from the hook, make 1 HDC in each of the next 5 stitches.
  3. In the very last chain stitch, make 5 HDC stitches. This will cause your work to turn.

You should now notice your work naturally turning; continue crocheting on the other side of the initial chain, working in a spiral-like fashion to form the oval shape.

Now, working into the next 5 stitches on the opposite side of your starting chain, make 1 HDC in each stitch across. (15 sts)

Row 2: Shaping the Ice Pop (20 sts)

  1. Chain 1.
  2. Turn your work.
  3. Make 1 SC in each of the next 5 stitches.
  4. Make 2 SC in each of the next 5 stitches (this creates an increase along the curved edge).
  5. Finally, make 1 SC in each of the next 5 stitches across. (20 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a short tail to weave in later.

Popsicle Stick (Tan)

Switch to your tan yarn to create the stick for your ice pop.

Row 1: Creating the Stick (3 sts)

  1. Chain 4.
  2. Starting in the second chain from the hook, make 1 slip stitch (sl st) in each chain across. (3 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a long 10 cm (approximately 4 inches) yarn tail for assembly.

Assembly and Finishing

Once both pieces are crocheted, it’s time to bring your Ice Pop Applique to life!

  1. Using the 10 cm yarn tail left on the popsicle stick, carefully sew the stick to the bottom, narrow end of the ice pop body. Position it centrally for the best look.
  2. Weave in all remaining yarn ends securely using your yarn needle. Ensure all tails are hidden for a neat and professional finish.
  3. Gently block your applique if desired, to help it lie flat and maintain its shape.
