Light Sword Freeze Pop Cozy
All techniques and finished sizes are listed in US terminology.
Skill Level 1: Beginner
Materials Needed:
s Size F (3.75 mm) crochet hook
s Medium worsted weight yarn (WWY) in colors of: black, grey, and red
(I prefer using Red Heart Super Savers. Feel free to substitute with similar shades, or similar weight yarns that you prefer. Always check gauge if substituting yarn, or hook, to ensure proper fit.)
s Tapestry needle
s Scissors
Abbreviation of Stitches and Special Terms Used:
- Ch/chs: Chain/Chains
- Hdc: Half Double Crochet
- Invisible Join: is used to fasten off the last round of an item, and make it appear seamless to the naked eye. If you have never used this stitch, then refer to my tutorial video here:
- MC: Magic Circle
- Reverse Slst Join: Reverse Slip Stitch: Insert hook from back to front under both loops of the 1st stitch made in that round, yarn over, and pull through the stitch and the loop on the hook.
- Rnd: Round
- Sc: Single Crochet
- Slst: Slip Stitch
- St/sts: Stitch/Stitches
- [ X ] #x = work that stitch or pattern a multiple of what the # states. Each stitch that is separated by a comma will be worked in the next stitch.
- ( X ) = final stitch count for that round
- YO : Yarn Over
NOTE: Beginning chain does Not count as a stitch in the stitch count.
Gauge: 5sc x 4 rows = 1” square
NOTE: I tend to ride my stitch. I use the Golden Loop Method when I work my stitches; which means as soon as I yarn over and pull up that first loop, as soon as it is through the stitch – I Stop; that first loop pulled up in every stitch is critical to your stitch height, and more Importantly: your gauge. If you find that your swatch is smaller than what the gauge states, then you are most likely a “yanker,” who works very tightly and yanks/pulls on your working end before, during, and/or after each stitch; try working the gauge with a larger hook to help you match your stitch technique with the written gauge. If you find that your swatch is taller than what the gauge states, then you are most likely a “lifter,” and you elongate/raise your stitches’ golden loop height to make it even with your beginning loop on the hook; try working the gauge with a smaller hook to help you match your stitch technique with the written gauge.
