Ice cream
A bold, recognizable ice cream drawn on the filet grid at 19 by 21, equally at home in kitchen towels, café-style runners, and foodie gift squares. Bring it into the editor to enlarge it, pair it with a matching motif, or tile it across a panel, then export to PDF or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Perfect for
Skill level: easy
Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine ice cream panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a kitchen towel or a café-style runner, the ice cream drops in cleanly, ideal for a kitchen make. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.
Who it's for
A ice cream panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a coffee-lover, and it fits naturally with a cook's birthday. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 4.8 by 5.3 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
