About this pattern

A soft serve ice cream seen straight on: one coil of pale yellow vanilla wound three times round and drawn up to a curled tip, standing in a flat-bottomed wafer cup cone. Dark lines mark the turns of the coil and four short white streaks give it a shine. The cone is light tan with darker ribs and one darker band, and it steps in twice toward its flat base. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 19 by 37 stitches and uses five thread colors.

19 stitches wide by 37 high: 469 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Pale Yellow 744, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pale Golden Brown 3827 and 2 more).
