- st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
- ch = chain stitch
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (over the span of 2 stitches), also known as a decrease
Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch.

Special Stitch Instructions:
Please review our special stitch instructions on our Stitch Tutorials FAQ page before beginning, as some techniques may be unique to this pattern.
This free crochet ice pop amigurumi pattern uses the following special stitch tutorials:
- Single Crochet (YU/YO Method)
- Invisible Decrease
- Joining Rounds
This pattern is worked in the round, with each round joined at the end with a slip stitch. Unless otherwise instructed, the first stitch of your next round will always be worked into the same stitch as your joining slip stitch has been worked into.
Be sure to always keep the ‘right side’ of your stitches facing outwards as you work. The right side is the front side of the stitch that is facing you as you are completing each stitch.
Pattern Instructions | Free Crochet Ice Pop Amigurumi
Crochet Ice Pop Stick – Rounds 1 to 7:
With yarn A (beige), make a magic ring (or ch 4, sl st into 1st st to form ring, ch 1).
Rnd 1: 6sc into ring, sl st into 1st st to join, ch 1 (6).
Rnd 2: [1sc into each of next 2 sts, 2sc into next st] 2 times, join, ch 1 (8).
Rnd 3: 1sc into each st around, join, ch 1 (8).
Rnd 4: 1sc into each st around, join, ch 1 (8).
Rnd 5: 1sc into each st around, join, ch 1 (8).
Rnd 6: 1sc into each st around, join, ch 1 (8).
Rnd 7: 1sc into each st around, join (8).
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Flatten your ice pop stick so that your last round forms two parallel lines of four stitches each, with your end tail sticking out at one end.
Using your end tail leftover from fastening off, sew each pair of stitches across. Secure your sewing with a knot and weave in any excess tail.
Set your ice pop stick aside, for now, and continue to the crochet ice pop below.

With yarn B (red), chain 9.
Rnd 1: beginning in 2nd ch from hook, *1sc into each of next 7 sts, 2sc into next st,* working into other side of ch sts, repeat from * to * 1 time, sl st into 1st st to join, ch 1 (18).
Rnd 2: [2sc into next st, 1sc into each of next 6 sts, 2sc into each of next 2 sts] 2 times, join, ch 1 (24).

Rnd 6: 1sc into each st around, join, ch 1 (28).
Rnd 7: 1sc into each st around, join, ch 1 (28).
Rnd 8: 1sc into each st around, join (28).
Fasten off yarn B and leave a short tail for tying.

Tie the tails of both yarn B and yarn C together on the interior of your piece to secure your ends.
Rnd 9: sl st into each st around, join, ch 1 (28).

Optional: for a cleaner color change, try working the stitches in round 10 through both the back loop of each slip stitch AND the front loop of round 8 directly behind, as seen above. Repeat this method again in round 16.
Rnd 10: 1sc into BLO of each sl st around, join, ch 1 (28).
Rnd 11: 1sc into each st around, join, ch 1 (28).

Rnd 21: sc2tog over next 2 sts, 1sc into each of next 25 sts, 2sc into next st, join (28).
Secure your working loop with a stitch marker and follow the instructions for adding the eyes, mouth, and blush before continuing.
Adding Eyes:
Using the example piece below as reference, insert both safety eyes through the side of your piece (about a quarter circle turn from your joining seam in either preferred direction).
The safety eyes should be inserted between rounds 11 and 12* and should sit 6 stitches apart, from the center of one eye to the center of the other.
*Be sure when counting your rounds to include your round of slip stitches, as it blends in!

Adding Mouth:
Rotate your piece so that the beginning rounds face upwards and your last round faces downwards.
Using the example piece below as reference, embroider a mouth using black embroidery floss.
The mouth should be embroidered over top of round 13* and be centered between the eyes. The mouth will be 2 stitches wide and 1 round tall.
*Be sure when counting your rounds to include your round of slip stitches, as it blends in!

Begin by inserting your needle from inside to outside, 1 round down and 2 stitches to the right from where you’ve inserted the left eye. Pull through and leave some tail for tying later.
Then, insert your needle again, 2 stitches to the right, and out again, 1 round down and 1 stitch to the left from where you’ve just inserted, and pull through.

Pass your needle up and underneath the horizontal strand you’ve just created and pull through. Then, insert your needle back into the same space as you’ve last exited from.
Pull your thread through and tug it down slightly until it forms a V-shape. Gently tie both ends together inside your piece, but take extra care not to pull the threads too tight!
Adding Blush:
Using the example piece below as reference, embroider a blush line using pink embroidery floss or yarn next to each eye.
Each blush line should start 1 round down (between rounds 12 and 13*) and 1 stitch outwards from where each eye was inserted, and span 1 stitch length outwards (away from the center of the face).
*Be sure when counting your rounds to include your round of slip stitches, as it blends in!

Begin by inserting your needle from inside to outside, 1 round down and 1 stitch outwards from where you’ve inserted the eye.
Pull through, leaving some tail inside for tying later. Then, insert your needle back in, 1 more stitch outwards.
If using yarn, you may skip ahead to tying both ends together on the inside of your piece.
If using embroidery floss, pass your needle back out through the same space as you’ve last exited from and pull through. Reinsert your needle, again, 1 stitch outwards in the same place as before.
Repeat these last steps 3 more times, or until you are satisfied with the size of your blush. Then, gently tie both ends together on the inside of your piece, taking extra care not to pull the threads too tight!
Crochet Ice Pop – Rounds 22 to 23:

Continue to the next round and begin stuffing as you go.
Rnd 22: [1sc into each of next 10 sts, sc2tog over next 2 sts, sc2tog over next 2 sts] 2 times, join, ch 1 (24).
Rnd 23: [sc2tog over next 2 sts, 1sc into each of next 6 sts, sc2tog over next 2 sts, sc2tog over next 2 sts] 2 times, join (18).
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing closed.
Sewing Closed:
Squeeze the long sides of your crochet ice pop together so that the bottom hole forms a pair of parallel lines of 8 stitches each, plus an extra stitch at either end.
Retrieve your crochet ice pop stick that you’ve set aside earlier. Center the stick with the face and insert the sewn edge of the stick slightly into the bottom hole.
Keeping the stick squeezed between the edges of the bottom hole, use your end tail leftover from fastening off of the ice pop to sew the bottom hole closed.

Sew each pair of stitches together across the bottom of your crochet ice pop. Be sure to sew through the top edge of the stick as you are sewing closed, as well.
Secure your sewing with a knot, trim the tail, and sew in any remaining length.
