Ninja Turtle inspired Ice Pop Cozy

Ninja Turtle inspired Ice Pop Cozy

A friend was looking for some cool ice pop cozies for some kiddos...I saw some great patterns on Ravelry but I wanted to create a Ninja Turtle inspired one.  I found great patterns for everything but no ninjas...or turtles.

Here is my meager attempt at creating some cool little reptiles wearing masks ;)

Materials:

E hook (if you find this too tight/loose go up or down in hook size)

ww cotton in green

ww cotton in mask color - purple, orange, red, blue 

ww cotton in black for eyes (you can use and yarn for this or even embroidery thread)

scissors

Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:

mr: magic ring
ch: chain
rnd: round
sl st: slip stitch
sc: single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
blo: back loop only, instead of both loops you will use only back loop
f.o. : finish off

Notes:

All terms American.   If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.  As with any pattern, be sure to read through once before beginning, and don't forget to mark your rounds! (I use a bit of contrasting yarn) This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson 2016.  

You may do whatever you like with your completed Ninja Turtle inspired Ice Pop Cozies, you can embrace your inner child and use these yourself, sell them to others ready to keep the evil Foot Clan at bay or even give them as a gift!  I only ask that you please not claim this pattern as your own.  You can share a link to this pattern if you like.


Directions: worked in joined rnds. Ch1 at end of each rnd does NOT count as a st in this pattern

1: mr 8sc (8) join with a sl st, ch1 at end of each rnd

2: 2sc (16) be sure to secure mr end before continuing

3: blo: sc (16)

4-9: hdc (16) change to mask color at end of rnd 9

10:  ch11, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and each remaining ch, hdc to end, ch11, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and each remaining ch, join to first hdc with a sl st (16)

11: hdc (16) change to green

12-13:  hdc (16) f.o. weave in ends.

Finishing:

With black, create eyes.  I do one eye at a time and secure the ends with knots on the inside of the cozy and cut short.  (they won't show)  I also give the mask a little single tie.

That's it, pretty simple right? Now your kiddos can stay cool and feel super cool at the same time!
