Tulip Popsicle Sleeve Crochet Pattern

Summer is almost here! And that means... popsicle season! My girls LOVE popsicles, and they think the multicolored freezer pops are the best. But their little hands get so cold! I was tired of using up paper towels each time... so I designed this reusable popsicle sleeve to help their hands stay warm and be less sticky.

This pattern is crocheted in the round, and it works up so quickly! It would be perfect to use at home, or to sell at summer markets.

It is also available for purchase in my Etsy and Ravelry stores as a full PDF tutorial with more detail, lots of step-by-step photos, and an easy-print copy at the end to easily print a hard copy.

Ready? Let's get started!

Tulip Popsicle Sleeve

Materials Needed:

• Worsted cotton yarn (2 colors)
• I used "Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran" in Lime Green & Dusty Lilac (alternate: Bubblegum Pink)
• 3.75mm crochet hook, or similar
• Stitch marker
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Terms:

• (#)  number of stitches in row
• Chain Stitch (ch)
• Double Crochet (dc)
• Half Double Crochet (hdc)
• Increase: 2 sc in each st (inc)
• Magic Circle/Ring (MC)
• Round (rnd)
• Single Crochet (sc)
• Slip Stitch (sl st)
• Stitch/es (st/s)
• Repeat what's inside * * when applicable
  
  

Gauge: Rnds 1-2 measure just shy of 1" in diameter (about 2.5cm)

If your popsicle sleeve is too big or too small, adjust your hook size accordingly. I recommend using a worsted/aran weight cotton. If you use another weight, you will have to alter the pattern a little so your gauge matches.

Finished size is approximately: 1.5" x 5"

Begin Color A (green): MC, ch 1

Rnd 1: 7 sc in the MC (7)

Rnd 2: inc in each st around (14)

Rnd 3-11: sc in each st around (14)

Rnd 12: ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in last ch. Sc in the next st on the main part to connect the leaf, then continue to sc around (14 sts on main)

Rnd 13: sc in each st around - you will "skip" over (behind) the leaf so that you sc in the st where the ch started, and the st where you connected the leaf (14)

Rnd 14: sc in each st around (14)

Rnd 15: sc in next 8 sts (or however many you need to be directly across from the previous leaf) Ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, hdc in last ch. Sc in the next st on the main part to connect the leaf, then continue to sc in each st to end of rnd (14 sts on main)

Rnd 16: sc in each st around - you will "skip" over (behind) the leaf so that you sc in the st where the ch started, and the st where you connected the leaf (14)

Connect Color B (purple): on the last sc from Rnd 16, insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop. Then, use Color B to pull through once more to finish the sc.

Rnd 17 -22: sc in each st around (14)

Rnd 23: *(sc, dc, sc) in 1st st, sl st in next* repeat around so you end up with 7 petals.

The top will start curving outward a bit, and you will end with a sl st in the last st.
Fasten off, weave in ends. Insert popsicle!

You're done! Enjoy!
