I have learned so much over the years of selling at crochet markets, that I wanted to be sure to tell you all about what made this event such a success.
The Frosty Fun Freeze Pop Sleeve is a quick and easy crochet pattern that works up in about 15 minutes or less. The entire pattern is worked with only one type of stitch, which makes it super beginner-friendly. Due to the limited time commitment, these are great for last-minute market prep or to make a ton for inventory at a huge event!
