Crochet ice pop holders are small insulated sleeves that slip over a popsicle or ice pop, keeping hands dry from drips and slowing melting slightly on a hot day. These are a fun summer make for outdoor gatherings with kids. This guide gives the quick pattern.

Materials and Pattern
- About 15 yards worsted weight cotton yarn
- A 4.0mm hook
- Chain 2, work 6 sc into the second chain from the hook, closing the ring.
- Work straight rounds of single crochet with no increases for about 4 inches to form the sleeve.
- Fasten off and weave in ends, leaving the bottom open to slide the ice pop through.

Frequently asked questions
What yarn works best for an ice pop holder?
Cotton yarn holds up to repeated wetting far better than acrylic, which matters given how often this specific item gets wet from condensation and drips.
