Crochet Freeze Pop Holders
One of the best parts about crochet is that you can create really useful items. In the summertime, my kids go nuts for freezies but their little hands get cold so quickly holding them.
Last year, I designed this Flower Freeze Pop Holder and now my girls can’t eat a freeze pop without it!

Since not all kids are crazy about flowers, I wanted to create a new freeze pop holder pattern.
I’m so excited to share this fun, fast and simple pattern for a Crocodile Crochet Freeze Pop Holder!

Crocodile Freeze Pop Holder Pattern Details
Skill Level
Easy
Size
The pattern creates a holder that is approx. 4.5” long and 1.75” wide not including the tail or mouth.

Materials
Yarn: Any size 4 (medium) yarn – I recommend using a yarn that is easily washable. (I used Impeccable, Solid by Loops & Threads. This yarn is size 4 (medium) weight and 100% acrylic. A skein is 285 yds / 260 m and 4.5 oz / 127.5 g.). You will need approx. 30 yds of green (I used the color “Fern) and a few yds of white.
Crochet Hook: F/5 (3.75 mm).
Other Materials: 2 stitch markers, yarn needle, scissors, 2 Googly eyes and a glue gun.
Terminology
This pattern is written for right-handed crochet using standard US terminology. If you’re more familiar with UK terms, here’s my US to UK Conversion Chart.

Abbrevations
- ch = chain
- st = stitch
- sts = stitches
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- sc2tog = single crochet two together
- YO = yarn over
- PM = place stitch marker
Gauge
1” x 1” = 4 sc and 4 rounds (following the instructions for the body).
Pattern Notes
- Always work into the 1st stitch, the stitch attached to the chain unless instructed to skip it.
- Chains never count as stitches.
- When the pattern says: Across the 1st 2 sts, sc2tog, what this means is to insert your hook into the 1st st and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). Insert your hook into the next (the 2nd) st and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull the yarn through all 3 loops on hook.
- When the pattern says: Across the last 2 sts, sc2tog, what this means is to insert your hook into the 2nd last st and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). Insert your hook into the last st and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yarn over and pull the yarn through all 3 loops on hook.
- When working into any chain stitches throughout the pattern, work into the top loop.
