We’ve put together some of our favourites for you to get stuck into whilst you settle down and watch your favourite Jedi battle it out.
Erin Sharp’s ‘Lightsaber Ice Pop Cozy’ on TheCookieSnob
A perfect idea for keeping hands insulated from the cold of ice pops. These lovely little cosies are designed to fit over the bottom of bright, colourful ice pops to make it look like a lightsaber. Clever right? These crocheted handles are available in three different sizes; from teeny toddler size to adult. Available as a free, written pattern from The Cookie Snob
Lucy Collin’s ‘Wicket the Ewok’ on Ravelry
