Mini Ice-cream Cone Amigurumi Tutorial
The below video tutorial introduces and helps you crochet an ice-cream cone keychain using basic amigurumi techniques. The focus is on using smaller hook sizes to ensure tight stitches.
Step-by-Step Process Notes:

What Is The Best Yarn For The Crochet Mini-ice Cream Amigurumi
For crocheting mini ice cream amigurumi, selecting the right yarn is crucial to achieve a cute, detailed, and durable finish. Cotton yarn is excellent for amigurumi projects like mini ice creams because it's soft, sturdy, and holds its shape well. It also comes in a wide range of colors, perfect for creating different "flavors" of ice cream. Suggested brands may include, Lily Sugar'n Cream and Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, etc.
Ways to Customize the Mini Ice-cream cone keychain
Following are some creative ways to personalize your ice-cream cone amigurumi:
- Sprinkles: Use colorful yarn or small beads to create sprinkles on top of the ice cream scoop.
- Cherry on Top: Add a small red pompom or crochet a tiny amigurumi cherry to place on the top of the ice cream for a classic sundae vibe.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Create a chocolate drizzle effect by crocheting a small piece in brown yarn and attaching it to the scoop, mimicking melted chocolate.
- Fruit Toppings: Crochet tiny strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices and attach them to the scoop to give your ice cream a fresh fruit topping look.
- Whipped Cream: Add a layer of white yarn on top of the scoop to mimic whipped cream, using a ruffled stitch technique for extra texture.
