This crochet lollipop pattern creates a small, flat candy with a two-color swirl, a crocheted stick, and a pink bow. It is a beginner-friendly project made with a few basic stitches and a 2.0 mm hook. The finished piece can be used as an embellishment for accessories and other crochet projects, or as a handmade decoration.
The instructions use US crochet terms and include a video tutorial for extra guidance. Gather the materials before you begin, and keep the yarn colors nearby so you can change between yellow and white while working the candy.

Step-by-Step Crochet Lollipop Instructions
Candy: Yellow and White
- With yellow yarn, make a magic ring and chain 3.
- Round 1: Work the following sequence 7 times: with white yarn, make 1 ss and 1 unfinished dc; change to yellow yarn, then make 1 ss and 1 unfinished dc. Finish with white yarn and 1 unfinished dc.
- Round 2: Make 2 sc in each stitch. Work every second sc as an unfinished stitch and change yarn as indicated by the color sequence. Finish with 1 ss.
Keep the color changes consistent around the round to form the two-tone candy effect. The accompanying images and video can help you follow the placement of the stitches.
- Round 3: With yellow yarn, chain 10. Starting in the fourth chain from the hook, work 7 dc, sk 1, 1 ss, and 1 ch.
Bow: Pink

- Work the following sequence twice: 2 ch, 2 dc, 2 ch, and 1 ss. Finish with 1 ch.
Assembly
Use hot melt adhesive to attach the bow and candy pieces as shown. Allow the adhesive to cool and set before adding the lollipop to a hairpin, brooch, key ring, bookmark, or another project. Keep hot adhesive away from children and follow the safety guidance for your adhesive tool.
To make different versions, substitute other yarn colors while keeping the same stitch instructions. For example, pink can suggest a strawberry-inspired candy, while purple can give the decoration a grape-inspired look. Check that the yarn and attachment method suit the item you plan to decorate.
