Free Mini Lollipop Crochet Pattern

    So I found this adorable "Cutie Kirby" pattern on Instagram for FREE by @meow.moclen, and I had to make it!

It said he was holding an apple but I wanted to keep it more on the sweet side so here's where the Mini Lollipop comes in!

* DO NOT SEW TOGETHER YET! *

Stick (3.5mm)

This is where the wooden dowel comes in! 

I wanted it to be sturdy and able to sew onto my Kirby plush, so I single crocheted up the entire stick. Then, I glued the ends to be secure leaving a tail for sewing! I started from the bottom up!

You can wrap it and glue it if you prefer or slip stitch it up!

Ribbon (3.5mm)

FO.

Assembly

Line up both sides for the lollipop top, and sew them together starting from where you want the stick to begin. Sew all around, but NOT CLOSED. When you get to the end, where the stick ends, you'll sew the stick to the inside and that should close it! Make sure you pull tightly!

                                                              

Thank you so much for using my pattern! I want to make a big lollipop pattern! Of course we won't need any wood! Just plenty of stuffing! Let me know if there's anything I missed or need further explaining!
