Ice Cream Banana Split Free Pattern!

I've worked in an Ice Creamery since I was 16.  Needless to say… ice cream is an important part of my life!  I've worked in this restaurant for 10 years now and one of the most frequently asked questions I receive is, 'Don't you ever get sick of ice cream?!'  And my honest answer?  NO!  Ice cream is so amazingly delicious and can be changed up in soooo many ways!  Choose a different flavor, add different syrups and candies… ooh, the possibilities!  I have a whole collection of mini crocheted ice cream sundaes, and I wanted to share one the most popular one today with you!  This is a traditional banana split!  Feel free to change the 'flavors' to get a banana split that is just for you!  I will also include photos of my other sundaes, which I am hoping to offer the patterns in my Etsy shop pretty soon!

Rnd 9: dec around (6)

Finishing:  Stuff firmly.  Weave yarn through each stitch of round 9 and pull tight to close.  Leave extra yarn for sewing pieces together.  The three scoops will be attached together using the extra yarn, with the pale yellow and pink sitting side by side and the tan scoop sitting above and between the others.

Crochet Diamond Hat (and where to find the pattern!)

Hi everyone! It's been a really long time since I have made a blogpost… I actually opened an Etsy shop and that has really been keeping me busy!  Previously, I have only posted free patterns.  I am going to make a bit of a change.  I originally titled this blog "My Crocheted World," and I would like to be able to share my free patterns as well as chronicle my crocheted world, as the name suggests.  So… I am planning on including blog posts of the projects I am working on, and share or link to the patterns from which I work!

I recently finished a project that I am REALLY excited about!  It is the crochet Diamond Hat- and it looks pretty neat!

My Diamond Hat using I Love This Yarn! because I really do love this yarn!!

When I started this hat, I was following a different pattern, for a slightly different hat, but the written instructions were not to my liking- I was having a pretty hard time interpretting what the pattern author wanted me to do!  I ended up looking for a similar hat design video on YouTube and ended up watching this one.  This video is by Tanya Neser and has great information- she really explains the steps well!  Problem is, the video quality is a bit hard to follow.  I used her videos (there are several 'parts') for the first few rounds, and then decided to find written instructions, which she was wonderful enough to provide!  Her written instructions are beautiful and much easier to follow, in my opinion!

This hat worked up pretty quick and I really like that it is super fun to look at, even though it is all in one color.  Oftentimes it seems that one color can be boring, but this hat rocks the one color!

If you end up making your own hat, please share it! I would love to see what you come up with!
