Knit Ice-Cream Cone Pattern

We all love ice-cream, don’t we? Especially, when we were kids ice-cream was one of the most delicious food I could eat all day long. Those days are long gone, but my craving for ice-cream is still alive. Today I’d like to share with you an unusual type of gelato, the one made with needles, yarn, fur pom poms, buttons, and a bit of creativity. I hope you will enjoy knitting it and decorating one of your sweaters as I did with mine. There is one tricky part though – fixing all the pieces on a sweater, but don’t worry I’ll share my secrets with you :). Add a few thin strips to the cone first and fix it loosely to the sweater leaving enough space for the poms, then add pom poms, check if you like the way it looks and, if you satisfied, tighten everything. If not, then reposition the cone and poms till you find the perfect look ;). This way you can easily detach your ice-cream before the laundry.

My small clip of how to join in the round on circular or double pointed needles. I realized that it's a bit hard to knit in front of camera🎬. ➰Cast on 1 more stitch than your pattern calls for. ➰Slip the last stitch to the right-hand needle. ➰Slip the first stitch over the last one and back received stitch to the left-hand needle. ➰Do not forget to place marker. _______________________________ 🔰Visit www.crazyhands.net for #freeknittingpattern hats🔰. . . . . #chknitting #crazyhandsnet #crazyhands #joinintheround #knit #knithat #knitmittens #knitsocks #babyknits #ravelryhat #ravelry #ravelrypattern #뜨개질 #취미 #lavoroamaglia #fattoamano #yarnlove #yarnaddict #cableknithat #chknitting_joinintheround #chknitting_video

Use hollow fiber or cotton wool to stuff it. Sew the upper part and make waffle imitation embroidery.

 

Doesn’t it look delicious now? You can also decorate cone with the bright buttons or beads.

 

Ice-cream cone is ready. Feel free to use ice cream accessory to decorate any of your knitted or crocheted items such as hat, scarfs, cardigans or sweaters. Take a look at my pattern of knit oversized sweater for kids and oversized knit sweater for adults.

Each fur pom pom has two thin strips that will help to attach and in case of laundry detach it.
