Free Crochet Pattern - Ice Cream Cone

Free Crochet Pattern - Ice Cream ConeI ran a poll on Instagram asking what I should design next. The choice was overwhelmingly Sweet Treats. One of these days, I will get to make the Crocheted Cocktails.

Here’s your free pattern. Make sure to use #drunkenauntwendy if you post on Instagram.

Materials

Yarn in Tan, Pink, Red
Embroidery Floss in Black
Size E Crochet Hook
Poly fiberfill
Glue if you want
Large eye blunt needle

Abbreviations

Ch – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
INC – 2 Single Crochet in designated stitch
DEC – Single Crochet 2 stitches together
DC – Double Crochet

Gauge is not important for this project unless you have purchased a kit. Using the right size hook is important to ensure you have enough yarn.

Notes: Almost the entire project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.
Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.

The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.

I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.

Horned Headband – Free Pattern

Crocheted Horn Headbands

I had this odd idea to add horns to headbands. We are going to a Anime Comic Con this summer, so really I was thinking of an easy cosplay for myself.

So far I have come up with 4 different types. I haven’t got my daughter to pose with all the headbands.

Crocheted Horned Headbands

Here’s me in my first set, before I finished them.

Small crocheted horns

Here’s the first one finished. They were immediately annexed by my teenager.

Betty the Yeti – Free Crochet Pattern

Free Crochet Yeti Pattern

This quarter I have taken up beading. It was really hard to start. Having the proper tools definitely makes it easier. I highly recommend using the right tools and amazon in order to make progress. Uploading images is proving difficult today. Make sure you check out what I have been up to on Instagram.

Meet Betty the Yeti. I created her for a contest. I didn’t win, but I adore her.

This caused me to start making all sorts of mythical/urban legend creatures. Make sure you check out Chtulu and Mothman.

She is made with Bernat Blanket Yarn which is what gives it the super soft snuggliness.

I’ve created a video tutorial for this pattern. You can follow along. For a written pattern

Free Crochet Pattern – Lucy the Lobster

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy 25 Comments
Crocheted Lobster Pattern Drunken Aunt Wendy

I’m still beading and working on the new ami-along from amigurumipatterns.net. It is a princess and her elf friend. I will post pictures when I’m done. It is nowhere near as large as last month’s 2 foot tall pirate bear.

Lucy is next in the Cuddly Aquarium Collection. She’s in the testing process now. Let me know if I should do a video of how to do the claws. The other members of the Cuddly Aquarium include Louie the Shrimp and Gus the Baby Platypus. If you are a member of my mailing list you have access to even more from my Cuddly Aquarium series.

Lucy is a sassy lobster. She doesn’t appreciate being called a bottom feeder and she absolutely loved SNLs Diner Lobster sketch this week. Make her in any color. I think, blue, green or purple would be fun. Make sure to #drunkenauntwendy if you post a picture of your completed Lucy.
