Scooped

Ah ice cream! What is it about you that casts a spell over us?

As children we gobble you down with innocent glee. As adults we sneak you at midnightas a guilty pleasure. We try to figure out someone's personality by analyzing which ofyour flavors they choose as their favorite. You make a sticky, melty mess in the summerand you make us shiver in the winter, but no matter the season, we can't resist your call.

There's no need to worry about ice cream going straight to your thighs with these guilt-free knit ice cream cones. Included are patterns to make a sugar cone, wafer/cakecone, classic scoop, dipped scoop and soft serve. Mix and match the tops and cones,and make some no-calorie treats.

6/7

AssemblyStuff the cone and scoop. Place scoop on top of the cone and see if the openings matchup. If the opening of the scoop and opening of the cone aren't the same size, weave thelong cast on tail along the edge of the scoop opening as a running stitch. Pull therunning stitch and gather until the openings match. Knot and evenly distribute the

gathers. Sew the scoop to the cone using the scoops cast on tail. Knot discreetly andweave in ends.

Enjoy your guilt-free ice cream!

*****

This probably doesn't need to be said but... please do not embellish with beads, sequinsor other small objects if you intend to use the ice cream cones as child toys. It's best toembroider with yarn or thread to keep the possibility of choking hazards to a minimum.

If you aren't going to embellish the scoop by sewing on sprinkles and nuts, you can knitthe cone and dipped/soft serve scoops in one piece. Knit the cone as instructed,however, don't bind off on the last round (remember to turn the cone inside out ifnecessary). Switch to your scoop color and knit Round 1 of the scoop pattern, but worktwo k2togs somewhere in that first round to get your stitch count down to 40. Continueworking scoop pattern, being sure to stuff the cone and scoop before closing up. Ipersonally prefer the look you get from sewing the individual components together, butthis one-piece method is an option if you are concerned about things being pulled apart.

Sprinkles and nuts can be knit in as you go. Before casting on, thread beads onto yarn.While knitting, randomly pull up a bead and knit it in (see the tutorial from Knitting-

and.com: http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/patterns/stitches/beady.htm). Using thismethod also allows you to knit the ice cream cones in one piece and still addembellishments.

Variegated yarns work great to create swirled flavors of ice cream.

Craving double (or triple) scoops? Just make multiple classic scoops and sew them ontop of each other. You may wish to stuff the stacked scoops a little less than the onethat is attached to the cone.

If the wafer/cake cone is going to be used for decoration (or light play), you can insert a

piece of cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels into the lower portion of the cone tohelp stabilize and shape it. The double scoop cone in the pictures has the cardboardinsert to help support its top-heaviness, while the soft serve and orange creme onesdon't.


7/7

Want to make these ice cream cones smell like the flavors they are suppose toresemble? Dab a bit of extract, scented oil or perfume (Demeter and Bath & BodyWorks are a couple of places to find food scents) onto a cotton ball and tuck it in withyour stuffing. Or cut one of those car air fresheners into bits and hide a piece or twoinside.

Sugar cone measures ~4" high. Wafer cone measures ~3.5" high. Classic scoopmeasures ~2" high (not including the scalloped skirt). Dipped scoop measures ~2.5"high. Soft serve measures ~4.5" high. All are ~3" wide at their widest point.
