cute free pattern for an ice cream keychain pattern

Free Icecream crochet keychain pattern

Welcome back to my latest blog post, I’m excited to share a yet another free keychain pattern with you, my super adorable ice cream design. This pattern is perfect for creating eye-catching and quick items for your next market or vendor event. This cute ice cream design allows you to create them in a wide range of colors, making it an ideal project for working away leftover small balls of cotton yarn. Personally, I had a blast creating these super cute and low-sewing keychains.

 

For this project, I used Raeesah from Kismet, a 100% cotton yarn, and used a 3mm hook (although you can achieve a tighter tension by using a 2.5mm hook). You can use any light worsted weight / DK yarn, although the size of the ice cream might differ slightly depending on the thickness of the yarn.

My previous post:

 “Creating and selling crochet patterns might seem like a quick scheme to make easy cash on the side, and it might be for some. However, that is not the case for most people who run their business authentically and correctly, whether full-time or just as a side income.

 

In this post, I discuss the costs of owning a digital marketing business as a crocheter. I’ve received comments from people who couldn’t understand why I would charge money for a digital product that isn’t physical.”

As someone who sells my crochet amigurumi toys, I often get asked how to price them when selling at markets as custom orders. It can be a bit of a challenge to determine the price, but I have developed a method that I think will be helpful to you. This is a formula I have been using for a couple of years selling toys. 

Selling amigurumi can be a great source of extra income as it is something that you can sell all year round and never goes out of season.
