Assemble your ice cream cone

If you need help with assembling the ice cream cone, watch the video below to see how I did it. If you want to jump straight to the assembling part, start at minute 24:18.

Cut a long piece of yarn in C1 and make a knot at the end. Thread the other end onto your yarn needle and stitch through the circle for the cone from the left to the right side at the spot where you want the pointy part of the cone to be.

Role the circle into a cone shape. Place scoop no. 1 into the cone as a placeholder, so you know how wide the cone should be. Remove scoop no. 1 and sew the cone together.

Put scoop no. 1 back in place and attach it to the code by stitching through the scoop and code with the C1 piece of yarn you still have on you yarn needle. Once the scoop is firmly attached, weave in the yarn end and cut it short.

Fill scoop no. 2 with fiberfill and pin it in slightly tilted on top of scoop no. 1. Sew all around it, making sure to only stitch on the C3 scoop with the C3 yarn end, so no seam will be visible. Weave in yarn end and cut it short.

Fill scoop no. 3 with fiberfill and pin it in slightly tilted in the other direction on top of scoop no. 2. Sew all around it like you did with the middle scoop, again making sure to only stitch on the C4 scoop with the C4 yarn end, so no seam will be visible. Weave in yarn end and cut it short.
