Want to keep your hands from freezing while you’re eating your ice cream? Yea, me too. With all my quick patterns, here’s another one for an ice cream cozy. The technique uses the magic circle for the bottom and then a simple half double crochet for the body. And the ridged look comes from flipping your whole project inside out when you’re done.
