Iconic Crochet Pop Light Stick Pattern that looks amazing
A handmade version, you gain a durable and washable keepsake that retains its plush shape and vibrant colors even after cleaning, thanks to the use of high-quality fiber cotton stuffing that remains soft and resilient.
Materials Required
-
Yarn (4-Ply Mixed Cotton):
-
Cream/White: For the handle and lower base.
-
Yellow: For the crown top, petals, and central button.
-
Grey: For the accent ring between the handle and crown.
-
Black: For embroidering the "B" logo.
-
-
Crochet Hook: 3.0mm.
-
Fiberfill/Fiber Cotton: For stuffing the stick and crown.
-
Tools: Stitch markers, scissors (trimmer), and a tapestry needle for sewing and embroidery.
Special Features
-
Back Loop Only (BLO) Technique: This technique is used to create a "ledge" on the crown, allowing the petals to stand out while the top of the crown remains smooth and closed.
-
Picot Stitches: The use of chain-3 picots at the tips of the petals gives the crown its sharp, royal appearance.
Level of Difficulty
-
Easy / Beginner-Friendly: The tutor uses basic stitches (sc, dc, tr) and provides a very slow-paced explanation. The most technical part is the embroidery and the specific petal sequence, but it is manageable for those new to amigurumi.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Stitch Markers: Use markers for the first stitch of every round to avoid losing count, especially since the handle and crown are worked in a spiral.
-
Tension Control: Maintain a medium tension—neither too tight nor too loose—to ensure the stuffing doesn't show through the stitches while keeping the light stick's shape firm.
-
Washable Fiberfill: The tutor recommends high-quality fiber cotton so that the item can be machine-washed and still retain its fluffiness.
Uses
-
Keyrings: Attach a lobster clasp or ring to turn it into a bag charm.
-
Fan Merch: A great handmade alternative to official merchandise for concert events.
-
Gifts: Perfect for friends who are fans of Bigbang or K-pop in general.
Crochet Pop Light Stick
This project is exceptionally beginner-friendly, utilizing a comfortable 3mm hook and soft four-ply mixed cotton yarn in cream, grey, and yellow shades.
The top features an intricate crown-like shape formed using a series of specialized stitches, including the triple crochet for height and the decorative chain three picot to form elegant petal points.
Starting with a classic magic circle, the instructions build through simple single crochet rounds and strategic increases to form a perfect cylindrical base.
A standout feature is the clever use of the front loop to attach yellow petals while maintaining a sturdy inner structure.
Finishing with a small circular button and a custom embroidered logo, this project results in a professional-looking, lightweight accessory that captures the soul of fan culture with a cozy, handmade feel. This way of working offers a rewarding result using just a few basic tools.
Conclusion
This crochet project is a charming tribute to one of K-pop's most legendary groups. It’s a quick and satisfying make that results in a recognizable, high-quality accessory. Whether you're a "V.I.P." yourself or making it for a fan, it's a piece of "fan art" you can take anywhere.
Pro-Tip
When embroidering the "B" logo, pull your stitches slightly inward into the stuffing. This "indents" the letter into the handle, making it look like a molded plastic part of the light stick rather than just surface thread!
