Materials
- Yarn in two colors. You are free to choose the yarn and hook according to your own personal preference but make sure to use a crochet hook that’s one or two sizes smaller, it makes the fabric tighter, helping to hold the stuffing securely without visible gaps.
- Size 2.5 mm crochet hook. This is my absolute favorite crochet hook, and I recommend it to everyone.
- Poly-Fil Fiberfill stuffing.
- Embroidery floss in different colors to add some sprinkles.
- Stitch marker.
- Yarn needle.
What did I use?
Schachenmayr Catania, sport weight yarn, 100% Cotton, 1.76 ounces = 137 yards/50 grams = 125 meters. Colors: 00436 (beige), 00225 (pink).
Gauge and Measurements
A 10-stitch by 10-row swatch in single crochet should measure 3.5 × 3.5 cm (1.38 × 1.38 inches). Made from listed yarn on a 2.50 mm crochet hook, the finished ice cream measures approximately 4 inches (10cm) height.

Good to know before you start
- The ice cream starts with a magic ring. You don’t need to join each round with a slip stitch. You crochet in rounds most of the time.
- All amigurumi toys are crocheted with tight stitches. If you tend to crochet loose, use a smaller hook size than recommended.
- Be sure to stuff each part firmly as you go. A chopstick or a pencil helps you to spread the stuffing into every corner.
- There is a chance that you might lose the beginning of the round. To avoid this, mark the first stitch of a round to keep track of where the round begins. You can use a colored pin or a piece of thread.
- Change to a new color by finishing the last step of the last stitch of the old with the new yarn. Your next stitch will be the first stitch of the new color.
Check out the tutorial to see how the color changes.
Cone
Ice cream is crocheted in one piece, from the cone upward, working in rounds. You can use brown, beige, peach colors for the cone.
R1: start 6 sc in a double magic ring (6)
All the following rounds are worked in back loops only, using X-shaped single crochet stitches. Follow the link to find the step-by-step tutorial for X-shaped single crochet stitch.
You can crochet V-shaped single crochet stitch all the time, but for a neater result, it is recommended to use an X-shaped single crochet stitch for the ice cream cone. Combining the two crochet methods enhances the final appearance of the ice cream.

All the following rounds are crocheted both loops with V-shaped single crochet stitches. If your stitches are usually loose, you may continue using the X-shaped single crochet to maintain tightness.
For the next rounds you need to crochet a Front Post single crochet.
