Crochet Cream

 This is a simple pattern to make cream for ice-cream or cakes or pastry and maybe waffle. I used cotton yarn. If you use a 5 ply cotton yarn with a 3.5 mm hook you will get a bigger cream compare to using a 3 ply cotton yarn with a 2.5 mm hook.  Tutorial video :  Cream Pattern Make a chain of minimum 30 stitches. Less then 30 it would be quite difficult to twist the cream to form the tip like a real cream. The number of stitches on the foundation chain is base on what you are making it for. If you are making a small cake or ice-cream cone, then the foundation chain of 50 stitches or less is sufficient.  After making the chain, do single crochet from the 2nd stitch onwards, on the hump side and continue to make another row of single crochet on the front loop then and continue with another row of single crochet on the back loop. Refer to the tutorial video.  Now we have 3 rows of single crochet. We can named them as row A, row B and row C. Without cutting the yarn and continue to croche
