Mellissa of The Adventures of Wondermommy asked me to test her new Ice Cream Cone pattern about a month ago. Since I didn’t have a photo to work from, I was surprised to find that the cone is shaped like a waffle cone!
The overall pattern is really simple to piece together and you only need to know how to increase in the round and crochet shells. Both the cone and the ice cream start with the smallest number of single crochet stitches and increase to their widest part. Then the pieces are sewn together and the shell border is added. The whole thing works up relatively fast, especially since you can hide the ends with the stuffing!
My Ice Cream Cone measures 3.5″ x 7″. I used some stash worsted weight wool that was a bit thinner than Red Heart Super Saver and a size E crochet hook. I’d like to try this pattern again in a lighter weight yarn. Also, I’m interested to see what the cone would look like with the wrong side showing.
Visit the pattern page to see Mellissa’s sherbert version, which is so cute!
Thank you for asking me to test the pattern, Mellissa! (And thanks for the pattern books and crochet hook!)
This looks so cool! It looks like a perfect vanilla cone.
It looks delicious!
Thanks so much for testing this pattern for me! I’m glad that you like it.
It turned out amazing! So cute! I’d like to see it with the cone on the wrong side as well. Interesting thought!
Oh cute! I’ll have to Ravel that!
Great cone! Its so realistic looking!
That is the best ice cream cone ami I have seen yet!
Love the ice cream cone good enough to eat:)
That’s the kind of ice cream I would LOVE to give the kids!
It makes no mess. LOL
You did a great job on it – by the way.
Very cute! And that’s a beautiful shot of the fireworks!
Eeeek! I LOVE the cone, and the ice cream would look perfect enough to do a double or triple scoop as well. It’s a must try. Great job! :)
Thanks for the great pattern! I just learned how to crochet and am always looking for new projects to try!
I’m an amigurumi maker and designer of my own patterns. Its always a bit of a problem to find someone with skills and time a to test them, and make any corretions, if needed. Would you let me know how it works and if you`d like to give it a try? You can visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/planetaamigurumi/ to have a look at my work.
Fingers crossed thank you!
