About this design

The pink scoop is round with a white highlight on one side and darker drips along its lower edge, the detail that says “summer”. The cone uses two browns in a diagonal grid for the waffle pattern and tapers to a point, and a red cherry sits on top.

How to use it

Use it for summer party invitations, an ice cream shop sign or a “you’re sweet” card. Change the pink to brown for chocolate or green for mint in the editor. In beads it makes a bright magnet for the fridge.

Size and bead counts

The picture fills 126 of the 256 squares in its grid, within an area 12 squares wide and 16 tall; the rest stay empty. It uses 7 colours: dark brown 43 (#332211), light pink 43 (#FF99BB), orange 17 (#DDAA55), brown 9 (#AA7733), pink 8 (#DD6688), red 4 (#EE2233), white 2 (#FFEEDD). Made with 5 mm fuse beads it measures about 6.0 × 8.0 cm and fits on one standard 29 × 29 pegboard. Stitched on 14-count Aida it is about 2.2 × 2.9 cm, or 2.8 × 3.7 cm on 11-count, so add a few centimetres of fabric on every side for the hoop.
