Introduction

Are you looking for a fun and adorable crochet project? Look no further! In this tutorial, I will show you how to make the sweetest worry worms that look like ice cream cones. These cute little creatures are perfect as gifts or decorations, and they are so quick and easy to make. All you need is some yarn, a crochet hook, and a few other materials. So let's get started and create these adorable ice cream cone worry worms!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you will need to make the ice cream cone worry worms. Here's what you'll need:

• Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in your choice of colors (e.g., soft pink for strawberry ice cream and bone for the cone)
• Crochet hook: 4mm hook
• Googly eyes
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Needle for weaving in ends

Now that you have all the materials ready, let's start crocheting the ice cream head of our worry worm.

Making the Magic Circle

To begin, we will create a magic circle as the starting point for our ice cream head. If you're not familiar with the magic circle technique, don't worry! I have a short tutorial on my channel that will teach you how to do it the super easy way. Once you have mastered the magic circle, follow the steps below to make the ice cream head.

1. Make a magic circle using your chosen yarn color (e.g., soft pink).
2. Place 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic circle, and mark the first stitch with a stitch marker.
3. Pull the magic circle closed, and now we will increase the circle by adding 2 sc in each stitch. This will give us a total of 16 stitches.

Crocheting the Ice Cream Head

With the ice cream head base ready, it's time to add the ice cream cone color and create the cone shape. Follow the steps below to crochet the ice cream cone.

Increasing the Circle

1. Find the marked stitch and insert your hook, but don't finish the stitch with the current yarn color.
2. Switch to the cone color (e.g., bone) and chain 14 to create a long chain hanging from the circle.
3. Tighten the chains a bit, leaving them loose enough to work with later.

Adding the Ice Cream Cone Color

1. Locate the first stitch that you can work into, which should be a slip stitch.
2. In the next stitch, crochet 5 single crochets (sc).
3. Repeat this sequence of 5 sc in each of the next 3 stitches, creating a total of 4 sets of 5 sc.
4. In the next 4 chains, crochet 5 double crochets (dc) in each chain.
5. In the remaining 4 chains, crochet 5 triple crochets (tr) in each chain.

Congratulations! You have completed the crochet process for the ice cream cone. The next step is to assemble the ice cream worm by twirling the cone and securing the ends.
