SlSt, leave a long tail for sewing. I leave about 8-9 inches to be safe, but I usually have a lot left
over.
Add eyes and stuff the head. I added my eyes at around rows 5-6 and about 9-10 stitches apart

touch this row again*

in the rest of the back loops (30)

R22: Grab your legs and tail, this is the row you will SC your pieces into. You place your pieces
in front of the stitches of the body, pushing your hook through the leg/tail first then through the
body stitch. When crocheting the legs on, looking down at your work, you want the curve of the
leg on your right for the first two legs and on your left for the second two. See photos to help
with placement.

SlSt, cut yarn leaving a short tail to sew the hole closed. Weave the yarn tail back and forth into
the stitches around then pull tight to close. Tie to secure and weave the rest of the yarn tail into
the body.
Sew the head onto the body. I placed the head on the bottom ice cream scoop, underneath the
ruffle of the top scoop and evenly in between the two front legs.

Sew the cone onto the top ice cream scoop slightly off to the side or wherever you prefer. I sew
into row 16, so that row 17 is a lip on the cone to add a little more detail, however, feel free to
sew into the last row (row 17) if that is your preference.
