OMG. This is so beautiful. My first time to see this kind of sack. I would always see the mermaid tail and other animal sack but this one is really so sweet. Perfect for my granddaughter. She will definitely like this.

I would call this pattern "Ice cream dreams". And I need to say this pattern is a dream to create! After reading this written pattern is sound so easy and quick to make with the bulky yarns. I will be making one or two of these beauties. Looking forward to seeing the winning name. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.

I'd call it "Two Scoops of Cozy" -) Only rated as a 4 so far since I haven't actually made it yet.... the pattern has been saved to my TBC (To Be Crocheted) file for when I finish the other 8 or 9 projects I have going at the moment.
