Fastening Off

Ok so I found this really great tutorial on Fastening Off and thought I'd share it, there is one in particular that going to knock up the notch of quality on stuff I make as fastening off is not always a strong point for me LOL Hope you get a lil bit of use out of this as I sure indeed will :D xx Ciao Sweets

Mini Crochet Ice-cream Tutorial

(I'm re-writing this from a Japanese chart pattern into English)

 

 



You will need:

3mm hook
8 ply yarn (I used Moda Vera Beetle from Spotlight)
Scissors
Stuffing
Needle for sewing together

Ice-cream Cone:




Round 1: Start by making a magic ring and single crocheting 5 times into it. (5)
Round 2: Do 1 increase then do 4 single crochets. (6)
Round 3: Do 2 single crochets then 1 increase, repeat that. (8)
Round 4: Do 3 single crochets then 1 increase, repeat that. (10)
Round 5: Single crochet once in each stitch around. (10)
Round 6: Do 4 single crochets then 1 increase, repeat that. (12)
Fasten off and the cone is done! :)

Ice-cream:




Round 1: Start by making a magic ring and single crocheting 6 times into it. (6)
Round 2: Increase into each stitch. (12)
Round 3: Single crochet around. (12)
Round 4: Single crochet around. (12)
Round 5: Do 3 half-double crochets in 1 stitch then slip-stitch in the next stitch, repeat 5 times. (so there is 6 things)
Fasten off and weave in ends and the ice-cream is done.

Putting together:


Stuff the cone and the ice-cream and stitch together.
Weave in ends and your mini ice-cream is complete! Yay! Enjoy :)
