Swirl Lollipop

I came up with this one on a Sunday when my kids were begging for candy, so I figured a lollipop made of beads was the next best thing! On the chart, start from the centre and add the pink and white rings one by one, just like a real candy swirl. My tip: count the rings carefully before you start, because that’s what creates the spiral effect once the grid is finished, and a single bead out of place can break the illusion. The little brown stick simply goes underneath, nice and straight. Once ironed (always with a grown-up, and baking paper on top), this sweet treat makes an adorable fridge magnet or a girly decoration for a kid’s room.
