Project 29: Mollie Makes ice cream cones

Posted on February 24th, 2014 by Maddy - 10 Comments

When fellow crafter Sarah announced she was having a baby my first thought was – what can I make her? So after rifling though old copies of Mollies Makes, Sophie and I decided on the perfect gift. An ice cream cone mobile!

Turns out with some wool, a crochet hook, felt and a little imagination you can quickly make a variety of ice creams: 99p flake, double scoops, fab and even a rocket lolly.

After a pot of tea and a slice of cake at Drink Shop Do , we were ready to assemble. Except we’d forgotten one thing, in central London finding some suitably nice sticks to tie it together is hard to find. So we improvised – we bought and used the largest knitting needles I’d ever seen to tie the cones to.

My favourite is the one stitched with beads to make it look like hundreds and thousands. I never even knew that was an ice cream topping possibility but I’m willing to give it a try for real next time there’s a sunny day.

Can’t wait to meet Sarah’s baby at the weekend and see the mobile hanging up in her nursery too!
