Freezer Pop Lightsaber Hilt Pattern

Freezer Pop Lightsaber Hilt Pattern

A friend of mine asked me if I could make her children freezer pop holders. She showed me a pattern and I didn't look past the picture and said OK... It was a crochet pattern and no matter how I try I can not learn crochet.. So, I made up a pattern. Hope it might be something that others can use as well :)

Cast on 18 stitches on three needles or using magic loop and join in the round.
