FREE Giraffe and Dino Freeze Pop Holder Pattern






A couple of years ago I had designed, and published for free, a pattern for a basic Freeze Ice Pop Holder.  It's simple, yet super useful.  My kids NEVER eat an ice pop with out one now.  It keeps their little hands from getting too cold.  I probably made 6 or so for my own kids, and we still have most of them.  The only reason we "lost" a few was because they accidentally get thrown away, or left outside.

I wanted to make some new updated ones, so I decided to make some that fit their personalities and were their favorite things/animals.  First up, my son.  He's all boy through and through and he loves many things.  I decided to make him Dinos (which he told me later that I picked the wrong colors) and giraffes (one of his favorite animals).
Below I have written up the pattern for the add-ons that make up these animals.  You can start by finding the basic pattern for the ice pops here:

Free Freeze Pop Holder

Materials:

4mm hook for all pieces
4ply yarn in the needed color
crochet needle for sewing in pieces




DINOSAUR



Spike 
* I made 3, but you could really make as many as you want.
Round 1: ch2, 3sc in 2nd ch from hook
Round 2: 2sc in each st around (6)
Round 3: *sc, 2sc in next* repeat around (9)
Round 4: sc in each st around (9)

Leave a long tail for sewing it on.

I then take that long tail and sew it onto the flat side of the Ice Pop Holder.

-  weave the tail to the bottom of the brown piece, and use that to sew onto the ear.

We call this look "Quarantine Hair".  LOL  Despite me using the wrong colors for the Dino, he loved them!  And has already asked me to make more animals.
