FUN Freeze Pop Holders

Hey there Crochet Friends! I am so very excited to bring you another Free Crochet Pattern! I had a lot of fun making and designing the FUN Freeze Pop Holder Pattern. I sure hope y’all enjoy it too!

I don’t know about y’all, but my kids want to eat Freeze Pops non-stop during the summer! It’s not even that hot here in Minnesota, but whatever keeps them playing outside, am I right?? But, little fingers do get cold quickly so a Freeze Pop Holder is basically a necessity. Crochet Queen to the rescue y’all!

On the Mermaid/Fish/Shark Tail Fin instructions, it appears that this row should be [[sc in next 2 sts]] in the part I have bracketed below. At least it didn’t seem to work for me unless I did that. Thanks for a fun pattern set!
Row 7: Ch 1, turn, sl st in next 2 sts, [[sc in next 3 sts]], sl st in last 2 sts, (2 sc, 4 sl st).

  Thanks for your input Cheryl! Yes, R7 on the Mermaid Tail has been amended to correct the stitches to 1 sl st at the beginning, 3 sc, and 2 sl st at the end for a total stitch count of 3 sc, 3 sl st! You caught a bit of the writing process there, where I changed the pattern but didn’t correct the written portion! Thanks for reading and glad to hear you are enjoying the pattern! 🙂
  
  Happy Summer,
