Taiyaki Ice Cream Bag

This bag is divided into the ice cream part, the main part below and the chocolate stick above. Plus some decorations like ice cream and little cones. First, crochet the ice cream part, then, crochet the main part below, finally crochet all the decorations. Sew onto the corresponding positions while crocheting.

Note: Hand-measured, with a possible error of 1-2 cm. Since everyone's tension varies, the sample size is for reference only.

Yarn: 4-Ply Combed Cotton, Handcrafted No.2 Knit Thread.
Tools: 3.00 mm hook.

Note: 
1. This pattern is making in Chinese crochet pattern terms, and the stitch name is written using American terminology. All measurements in charts are in cm. 
2. When crocheting in rounds without further guidance, working in closed rounds, start each round with a set number of beginning chains and close with a slip stitch. The beginning chain preceding a single crochet and the slip stitch used for joining rounds are not included in the total stitches. 

Part 1 Ice creamA​ 00' 34'' ​

We begin crocheting from Section 1 using the adjustable magic ring and crocheting in rounds counter-clockwise. Section 2 and Section 3, work back and forth with a new strand of yarn. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.
