Woohoo! We're so excited to share the adorable pattern for these huggable mommy-and-baby ice cream cone amigurumi! We chose picked strawberry and vanilla because we're partial to those flavors, but feel free to represent your own favorites!
To achieve the larger size with less fuss, we'll be holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together and using a size K/6.50mm Furls Streamline Metal hook.
SUPPLIES
We used one Red Heart Jumbo skein per color so I could divide them into two yarn cakes for holding the yarn double.
- Two skeins/yarn cakes each of worsted weight yarn in pink, white and tan
- Furls Streamline Metal Crochet Hook size 6.50mm
- Two sets of size 10mm black plastic snap-in eyes
- Stuffing (lots. I mean LOTS of stuffing)
- Tapestry needle
- Black scrap yarn for embroidery details
To achieve the larger size of this design with less overall work, we'll be holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together and using a size K hook. Make sure the tension is the same for both strands of yarn as you go!

FO, leaving a very long tail to sew the scoop to the cone later.
Put the plastic eyes in between rounds 19-18 of the scoop, spaced about 5 stitches apart.
Using black scrap yarn, embroider a small smile centered between the eyes, as pictured.
If making this project for a nursery, we recommend embroidering all facial details to prevent small parts from becoming a choking hazard.

FO, leaving a long tail to sew the baby scoop to the top of the mama scoop.
Put the plastic eyes in between rounds 14-15 of the scoop, spaced about 4 stitches apart. On our sample, we placed the eyes a little crooked to give the little scoop a playful, lopsided appearance.
Using black scrap yarn, embroider a small smile centered between the eyes, as pictured.

Next, we're finishing our ice creams with a single cone!

Try holding an off-white and light tan together to make your cone look more like a waffle cone!

FO and weave in the ends
STUFF the cone firmly. Grab the mama scoop and make sure it is stuffed firmly.
Using the ends from the big scoop, thread your yarn needle (both strands of yarn) and whipstitch the last round of the cone to the BLO of the last round of the mama scoop (beneath the scallops). The big scoop is only 4 stitches less than the cone, so the two match up almost stitch-for-stitch.
Add more stuffing as necessary while you’re sewing. Weave in the ends.
Make sure the baby scoop is stuffed, then thread both FO ends onto your yarn needle. Sew the baby scoop to the top of the mama scoop, either perfectly centered on the top of the bigger scoop or slightly off-kilter as pictured below.
Make sure the stuffing is firm before closing up the hole.
Weave in all remaining ends, and you're finished!
Happy Crocheting!
