30 Minute Ice Cream Sleeve
Let me guess, you’re here for one reason and one reason only; You love ice cream but can’t stand how cold that little pint is when you’re just trying to enjoy a cold dessert while watching the Bachelor. Especially if you love to devour ice cream any time of the year, meaning those winter months are even rougher! It really is a tragedy. So naturally, I had to design a crochet pattern to solve this horrific event we all face, sometimes on the daily.
Say hello to the 30 minute Ice Cream Pint Sleeve. Yup, you read that correctly. In 30 minutes or less, you can enjoy a pint of Ben and Jerry’s comfortably. You can thank me later.
UPDATE: My husband has managed to steal this ice cream sleeve from me the last 3 nights in a row (yes, we eat ice cream that often). Be warned you may need to make more than one!
