Popsicle Drip Catcher Pattern

Anyone else have kiddos that love popsicles but hate being messy?! My one daughter has SPD which leads to all kinds of discomfort when she gets sticky. I created these handy little tools back in 2019 to help her be able to enjoy her favorite treat without the fear of getting sticky.

I have to admit I have also used these a time or two. When it's 90°F those popsicles melt much faster than I can eat them. This handy little tool just slips over the Popsicle stick and covers little hands (& big too) to protect them from sticky drips. Simply wet when finished and use it to wipe those sticky Popsicle loving faces before tossing it in the wash and reusing it again and again.

Here's what you'll need to get started.......

Materials: Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton (approx. 30 yds) H(5mm)Hook Scissors Needle

Abbreviations(US terms): CH= Chain ST= Stitch sts = Stitches SL = Slip Stitch HDC= Half Double Crochet

Notes: This pattern is great to use up all those 100% cotton scraps. The CH 1 at the beginning of each ROUND never counts as a ST.

To begin CH 8 and SL to your beginning CH to create a loop

ROUND 1: CH 1, place 16 HDC into the loop, SL to your beginning SC to connect

ROUND 2: CH 1, place 2 HDC in the first 3 sts, HDC in the next 5 sts, 2 HDC in the next 3 sts, HDC in the last 5 sts, SL to your beginning HDC to connect

ROUND 3: CH 1, place 2 HDC in the first and next 4 sts, HDC in the next 6 sts, 2 HDC in each of the next 5 sts, HDC in each of the last 6 sts, SL to your beginning HDC to connect

NOTE: If your project is “cupping” that's fine. It's meant to curve over the hand

ROUND 4: CH 1, place 2 HDC in the first and next 9 sts, HDC in the next 6 sts, 2 HDC in each of the next 10 sts, HDC in each of the last 6 sts, SL to your beginning HDC to connect

ROUND 5 & 6: CH 1, HDC in each ST around, (52 sts)SL to your beginning HDC to connect. Cut, tie off, and weave in your ends.
