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 7: dec every 3rd st (18)
Rnd 8: dec every other st (12), begin stuffing
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.

Rnd 3: inc every other st (9)

Finishing:  Slip stitch to finish.  These pieces will not be stuffed.  Attach one piece to each side of the ice cream scoops (one attached to pink and the other banana attached to the pale yellow scoop). 

Topping (make 7- 2 red, 2 bright yellow, 3 café brown)
Ch 7, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and next 4, ch 2
Finishing:  each piece looks like a forked snake tongue.  Attach them to the corresponding ice cream scoop (red to the pink scoop, bright yellow to the pale yellow scoop and café brown to the tan scoop).

Finishing: slip stitch to finish.  Do not stuff.  Sew cherry to whipped cream.  With a stray piece of red yarn, come up through the top of the cherry.  Tie a knot and cut yarn right next to knot.  This will make the stem stiff.  Attach whip cream to top of scoop.
