Meadow Freeze Pop Holder

No more frozen fingers! This meadow stitch freeze pop holder wraps those icy plastic sleeves in a cozy layer of cluster puff texture, so little hands stay warm while the treat stays cold. If you have kids, grandkids, or a neighborhood full of summer visitors, these are about to become your most-requested make.

The pattern includes two versions — with a bottom or without — plus easy notes for adding height or width, so you can fit whatever brand of freeze pops lives in your freezer. Worked at a tight gauge with a G hook, the fabric is sturdy enough to survive a whole summer of popsicle season.

You will need a G hook (4 mm), size 4 yarn, a tapestry needle, and scissors. Stitches used are the magic circle, chains, half double crochet, and my cluster puff, explained step by step.
