Making an Ice Cream Cone:

Materials Needed: To make this adorable ice cream cone coin pouch, you'll need the following materials:

• Yarn in various colors (choose your favorite ice cream flavors)
• Crochet hook (size may vary depending on the thickness of your yarn)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Making the Ice Cream Cone: To start our crochet project, we will begin by creating the base of the ice cream cone. Take your yarn and create a foundation chain of 20 stitches. Once you have the chain, make three double crochet stitches in the third chain from your hook. Continue double crocheting in each stitch until you reach the last 16 chains.

Now, we will create the opposite side of the ice cream cone. Slip stitch to the last chain and make three double crochet stitches in the same stitch. This will allow us to turn our work and start crocheting on the other side.

Continue double crocheting on each stitch around the row. Each row will have the same number of double crochet stitches, creating a symmetrical cone shape. Repeat this process for a total of 12 rows, forming the cone shape of our ice cream cone.

Starting the Project: Making the Pouch

Chain Stitching: Once we have finished crocheting the ice cream cone, we will now begin making the pouch itself. To do this, create a chain of 150 stitches. This chain will serve as the base for the pouch.

Making Double Crochets: After creating the chain, we will start making double crochet stitches. Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook and create a double crochet. Continue making double crochets in each stitch along the chain until you reach the end.

Shaping the Pouch: To give our pouch a unique look, we will create a pattern by making five to six "W" shape stitches. Skip two stitches and create the "W" shape in the third stitch. Repeat this pattern until the end of the row. Then, repeat the same pattern for the subsequent rows, maintaining the "W" shape stitches. Continue until you reach your desired height for the pouch.

Finishing Touches: Adding a Zipper or String To complete our ice cream cone coin pouch, we have two options for securing the opening. You can either make another round of single crochet stitches to clean the edges, or you can opt for a string closure. For the string closure, slip stitch to the first double crochet of the second row and then cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Skip the first two stitches and create a "W" shape stitch in the third stitch. Skip two stitches again and slip stitch in the third stitch. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end. Finally, slip stitch where you started and cut the yarn, securing the pouch opening.
