Free Popsicle Appliqué Crochet Pattern – Moss Stitch – Summer Garland

Hi everyone!

Welcome to week 3 of the summer garland patterns. This week I want to share the popsicle appliqué that uses the moss stitch. I think I finally figured out how to do the moss stitch and still have the piece be straight! Yay!

I used DK yarn for this one again since I am really enjoying it. The pastel colours add a fun touch to the garland that has the watermelon and ice cream cone appliqués so far. There’s one more to share and I will also include pictures of all the pieces hung up together. What do you think the last appliqué is?

Let’s start crocheting!

Video Tutorial: Popsicle Appliqué

This was so fun to make and I think it looks really cute. Maybe I will add little faces to all the appliqués to make them even cuter! Get creative! You could even make a fudgesicle and use a lighter brown or a beige coloured yarn for the popsicle stick.

Just one more appliqué to go and I’ll have to start thinking of patterns for fall! I also saw a new idea for connecting all the pieces together that I think will be perfect for the fall season. Stay tuned!

Happy Stitching,
