Needles:
• A pair of 3.75mm straight knitting needles
(US 5)
Notions:
• Toy filling (less than 50g)
• A darning or tapestry needle to sew the
knitted pieces together
Yarn:
All DK weight yarns, and less than 25g in
each colour:
White: For the ice cream
Yellow: For the cone
Brown: For the chocolate flake
Pink: For the cherry
Green and Blue: To embroider the
sprinkles
I recommend Hayfield Bonus DK yarn.
The yarn used was sold in skeins
weighing 100g, and one skein in each
colour will be more than sufficient to knit
your toys.
NOTES
Finished size: The finished ice cream is
approximately 18cm tall.
Work flat: All pieces are knitted flat (back and
forth) on a pair of straight knitting needles.
Tension: The tension is approximately 22 sts x 28
rows for a 10cm x 10cm square in stockinette stitch
on 3.75mm needles. Don’t worry too much about
tension for this pattern.
Casting on: Unless otherwise specified, I prefer to
use the long tail cast on for all pieces.
Sewing seams: Use mattress stitch to sew the
seams.

Cut the yarn leaving at least a

knitting needle on to the yarn,
gather together tightly and
secure the yarn.

Row 11: k (11 sts, RS)
Cast off all sts.
Making up: Sew the cast on and
cast off edges together to make
a tube. Gather the side edges
together to close one short end.
Sew the other short end onto the
ice cream. I did not add any
stuffing, but you can if you wish.
Row 12: k1, [k2tog] x 2, k1 (4 sts)
Pull through to cast off, leaving a
30cm yarn tail to sew up the
cherry.
Making up: Using the cast off
tail, sew a running stitch around
the outside edges of the knitted
piece, and pull the yarn to gather
these stitches together to make a
small bobble with the right side
facing outwards. Add a small
amount of toy filling to the inside
of the bobble before finishing.
Then secure the thread and sew
the gathered stitches of the
finished cherry to the top of the
ice cream.
