Assembly:

For this you can either cut out a small circle of felt and glue this on using hot glue or fabric glue


 or 


Using yarn two weights smaller than the yarn you used to make the cones, follow this to make a circle:

R1: sc 6 in mc (6)
R2: *inc* around, sl st to join to first sc of round
Fasten off and leave long tail to sew on or weave in end and glue on.

2. Use the back loops of the ice cream to sew on to the cone. You may need to add more stuffing before closing up. 


3. Sew each ear between round 3 and 7. 


4. Sew the strawberry on top of the ice cream in the centre of the ears. Wrap the cream around the strawberry. Pin down and sew into place.
