Bring the fun this summer with our novelty ice lolly holder knitting pattern, designed by Nicola Valiji

Nothing beats a frozen treat on a hot, hot, hot day, but when they’re straight out of the freezer, they can be hard to handle. Designer Nicola has come up with the solution - knitted holders. These novelty makes will bring a smile while your youngster (or you, we don’t judge) tuck into their refreshing push-up lollies. The holders are made from simple stocking stitch rectangles that are sewn into tubes, then decorated with fun motifs. No more than 15g is needed of each shade so bust your DK yarn stash while you’re at it! Download this summer knitting pattern today.
