Free Crochet Ice Cream Pattern
Whether you are looking for an Amigurumi Ice Cream Crochet Pattern to make in a plush yarn or a fun Mini Ice Cream Cone Crochet Pattern.. than this project is for you!! As it works so well as a mini ice cream cone (thing bag charm!) or as maxi plushi ice cream cone (think Jellycat amuseables!). Either way today’s pattern is super cute and a great way to flex and strengthen your crochet skills and confidence!
This pattern is designed, very much with beginners in mind – but beginners, who want to stretch their skills and try some new patterns whilst completing a “short” project. Ie a project that can be made in an hour (faster, if you are more skilled), but also allows you to have a go at something new – ie the FLO and BLO stitches. You will find that they are actually very easy, but that it is great to give them a go with an easy crochet project, where it doesn’t matter too much, if you need to start again. It also gives the opportunity to revisit HDC (Hald Double Crochet) and DC (Double crochet) stitches to strengthen your skills.
As mentioned this little free ice cream crochet pattern is ideal for teenagers accessorising their bags (it makes the cutest ice cream purse charm for summer!), but also for young makers looking for patterns to make and sell at craft markets! This pattern was created by a teenager FOR teenagers!
