The free ice cream applique crochet pattern is quick and easy and great for food themed projects. I’m currently working on a granny square blanket for my daughters. I plan to fill each square with a different appliqué until I have a big blanket full of the things they love most! I’ve started the Sweet treats appliqué bundle. Keep checking back on my appliqués page to crochet along.
Ice cream applique description
The ice cream appliqué measures 6cm wide and 10cm tall. I used 5 different colours to crochet the lollipop appliqué. You can use your appliqué to decorate almost any of your crochet projects, I’d love to see what you done with yours!
How to crochet an ice cream applique
The lollipop appliqué crochet pattern easy skill level. You’ll need to know basic crochet stitches. Additionally you’ll need basic sewing and tapestry skills to decorate with sprinkles and chocolate. To make the ice cream appliqué I used 5 colours of DK (weight 3) yarn and a 3.5mmcrochet hook. The whole appliqué uses just 4g (13yd) of yarn.

Pattern notes
I do not count chains in my stitch count.
Numbers in brackets are the number of rows/stitches.
Stitches separated with a comma are to be made in separate spaces. eg. (sc, inc) would mean sc in first stitch then inc increase in next stitch. eg. (sc x2, inc) would mean sc in first stitch, single crochet in second stitch, then increase in next stitch.
Make all colour changes at the end of the previous row.
When fastening off leave a long tail for sewing if you are attaching the appliqué to something. If you are not sewing the appliqué to anything weave in ends.
