Rainbow Ice Cream Stack
Original design by @黑眼圈怪怪（接🍰）
A stacked rainbow ice cream in five scoops on a waffle cone, each scoop finished with a bobble drip edge. The scoops grow directly out of each other, so the whole thing is made without sewing the layers together.

Notes
2.0 mm hook with 4-ply cotton. The front-loop bobble round is the melted-drip edge; the next scoop grows out of the untouched back loops.

Notes
Stuff the cone lightly as you decrease. The hdc round near the top of the cone gives the waffle rim its ridge.
Frequently asked questions
How do the scoops stack without sewing?
The last round of each scoop is worked into the front loops only as a bobble drip edge. The next scoop then starts in the untouched back loops of that same round, so each colour grows out of the one below.
When should I stuff it?
Stuff each scoop just before you close it with the decrease rounds, and stuff the cone lightly as you work down so it keeps its tapered shape.
What makes the waffle cone rim?
Round 2 of the cone is a round of half double crochet, which stands slightly proud of the single crochet either side of it and reads as the rim of the cone.
Can I make fewer scoops?
Yes. Every scoop after the red one uses the same 10-round recipe, so you can stop at any point and go straight into the cone.
