Mini Amigurumi Ice Cream – Free Crochet Pattern

This mini crochet ice cream is a small amigurumi project made with basic stitches and two simple pieces: a cone and a scoop.

I used pink for the scoop and beige for the cone, but the colors can easily be changed. The small size also makes this project suitable for a keychain, bag charm, or a small handmade decoration.

In this free crochet pattern, I’ll show you how to crochet the cone and scoop, add the facial details, and assemble the finished ice cream.

Materials

Pink cotton yarn for the ice cream scoop
Beige cotton yarn for the cone
2.0–2.5 mm crochet hook
Polyester fiberfill
6 mm safety eyes
Embroidery thread for the smile
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Stitch marker

Cotton yarn works well for this small project because it keeps the stitches neat and makes the shape easier to control.

Crochet Techniques

This pattern uses a few basic amigurumi techniques:

Magic ring (MR)
Single crochet (sc)
Increase (inc)
Decrease (dec)
Working in continuous rounds

The cone and scoop are crocheted separately and joined during assembly.

Cone

Work with beige yarn.

R1: 4 sc into a magic ring (4)
R2: sc around (4)
R3: (1 sc, inc) around (6)
R4: sc around (6)
R5: (2 sc, inc) around (8)
R6: sc around (8)
R7: (3 sc, inc) around (10)
R8: sc around (10)
R9: (4 sc, inc) around (12)
R10: sc around (12)

Fasten off and leave a long yarn tail for sewing.

This creates the tapered cone shape.

Scoop

Work with pink yarn.

R1: 6 sc into a magic ring (6)
R2: inc around (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) around (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) around (24)
R5–R6: sc around (24)

R7: (6 dec, 12 sc) (18)
R8: (3 dec, 12 sc) (15)

Start adding fiberfill gradually. Insert the safety eyes between R4 and R5.

R9: (3 dec, 9 sc) (12)
R10: dec around (6)

Fasten off, close the remaining opening, and weave in the yarn end.

Assembly

Place the pink scoop on top of the beige cone.
Sew the bottom of the scoop securely to the top edge of the cone, spacing your stitches evenly around the opening.
Embroider a small smile below the eyes using embroidery thread.
Weave in any loose yarn ends.
If you want to use the ice cream as a keychain, attach a keychain ring securely to the top of the scoop.

Check the connection between the scoop and cone before using the finished piece as a keychain or bag charm.

Optional Add-ons

You can add a few small details to change the look of the finished ice cream:

Sew a small pom-pom on top as a cherry.
Embroider small sprinkles on the pink scoop.
Use different yarn colors for the scoop and cone.
Add a keychain ring if you want to use it as a keychain or bag charm.

Helpful Tips

Keep your stitches tight so the stuffing does not show through.
Add the fiberfill gradually to keep the scoop evenly shaped.
Use a stitch marker when working in continuous rounds.
Do not overstuff the scoop, especially near the closing rounds.
Leave long yarn tails on the cone and scoop for secure sewing.
Check the connection between the cone and scoop before using the project as a keychain.
If you add small decorative pieces, sew them securely and check them before use.

FAQ

Can I use different colors?

Yes. You can use any colors you like for the scoop and cone. You can also make the scoop in different colors to create several ice cream designs.

Can I make the ice cream larger or smaller?

Yes. You can change the yarn weight and hook size, but this will also change the size of the cone and scoop. For the best result, use the same yarn and hook size throughout the project.

Can I use this as a keychain?

Yes. Add a keychain ring securely to the finished ice cream and check the attachment before using it.

Can I embroider the face instead of using safety eyes?

Yes. You can embroider the eyes and smile with black embroidery thread instead of using safety eyes. This can be a useful option when making the project without small plastic parts.

Can I make different ice cream flavors?

Yes. Change the scoop color to create different flavors and use different colors for the cone or decorations.

Safety Note

If you use safety eyes or other small decorative parts, make sure they are firmly attached.
Inspect the keychain ring and sewn connections regularly if you use the project as a keychain or bag charm.
Keep small parts away from young children and pets.
Do not use the finished item if any part becomes loose or damaged.
