Hello and welcome to Sprinkles the Baby Duckling's Ice Cream Add-on! This pattern is a supplement for Sprinkle's pattern and only includes the instructions for the ice cream hat, the ice cream cone and their assembly onto Sprinkles. You will have to make a head, body, beak, two wings, two feet and a tail from Sprinkle the Baby Duckling's pattern. Follow the assembly instructions as written in Sprinkles the Baby Duckling's pattern for the head, the beak and the tail. While Sprinkles will be capable of holding the ice cream cone in the position that the instructions provide, you might want to place the wings, or the feet, closer together or further apart to accommodate for the ice cream cone. As such, DO NOT sew on the wings and the feet until you have finished your ice cream cone. While it is not necessary to have prior knowledge, as detailed instructions are provided, note that the crab stitch and a variation of the diamond stitch are used in this pattern. I hope you enjoy following this pattern to make your own ice cream hat and ice cream cone and thank you so much for your support.

How to Read the Pattern
Sample row:
R6: (sc, sc-inc)x3, 3sc, (sc, sc-dec)x2, 2sc, sc-inc, (hdc-inc)x2, ch1 [24]
This reads as: Row 6. Complete one single crochet plus one single crochet increase three times. Complete three single crochet. Complete one single crochet plus one single crochet decrease two times. Complete two single crochet. Complete one single crochet increase. Complete two consecutive half double crochet increases. Complete a chain one. There are 24 stitches in this row (note how the ch1 does not count towards the final stitch count).
The stitch count at the end of the row indicates the row has ended and there should be that number of stitches in that row.
When directed to fast off, cut the yarn at the specified length and pull the loose end through the last stitch.

I have broken down some rows in this pattern to help walk you through certain step by step instructions. These rows will read as 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e and so on. These are all part of row 1 (or whichever number you see in front of the letter), they have just been broken down to allow for detailed step by step pictures of certain stitches or rows that may contain a more complicated step.

Sewing
Unless otherwise specified, all pieces are sewn together using a whip stitch.
To weave in the loose ends, weave the yarn through various stitches and through two or three rows in different directions to secure the yarn. Once the yarn is secured, cut the yarn close to the stitches so that it slips back into the woven stitches with a slight tug.
Loose ends can also be secure with knots and tucked into the piece.

Safety
While this specific pattern does not use safety eyes, safety eyes are required for Sprinkles the Baby Duckling. Doll safety eyes may pose a choking hazard for children. Follow the recommended child age restrictions stated by the safety eyes and always supervise children when playing with these toys.
Though all of the pieces should be securely sewn, always supervise children when playing with this toy as pieces may come loose with enough force and pose a choking hazard.
