The sun is still cooking us crispy this summer, so it’s only fitting to continue with our summer Passion Project theme. Last month we made the watermelon keychain, this month we are making a cute Ice Cream Cone! 

This one is simple and super cute. It’s just big enough to keep on it own, but it’s also small enough to attach a key ring and make it a keychain. 

This summer I have intentionally tried to step outside of my comfort zone to crochet in public. If someone were to ask me why I don’t crochet in public, I am not confident that I would be able to give a valid response. Therefore, this summer I put on my big girl pants and took my crocheting on the road. Right now, my local coffee shop has been my go-to for out of the office crochet sessions, but the goal is to venture out into the world and check this introvert energy of mine, lol. 

This project is the first I have been able to complete at my local coffee shop, so my kiddos were not able to see the process, and they did not know that I was making it. So, we will see how long it takes for them to see the new addition and start their negotiations, lol. 

I hope you love this one, again these Passion Projects are meant to be fun, exciting, and completely free. The goal is to get more folks crocheting for the love of the art! With that being said, I will not hold you any longer, here is the free pattern for this month, enjoy! Don't forget to let me see! Tag, comment, post what you make and share with @zumamiko
