Handmade crochet ice creams.

Some summers smell like the sea, others like freedom. And then there are summers shaped like a funny and irresistible crochet ice cream—mini, adorable, and… super colorful! We've seen them pop up here and there, between a virtual hammock and a creative dive into our LIDO TESSILAND, that digital beach that doesn’t sell slushies but offers plenty of inspiration. And now, they're ready to brighten up your keychain too.

Yes, you heard right. These little amigurumi ice creams are the perfect project to add sparkle to your summer days, decorate bags, backpacks or simply make you smile every time you look for your keys at the bottom of your bag. Small, easy to make, and super Instagrammable!

From the Tessiland Lido to your keyring

This project premiered exclusively within the content of the LIDO TESSILAND, the virtual beach where creatives meet daily to share ideas, chat, and… crochet like pros.

It was there that the ice creams began to circulate as the “must-have of the 2025 creative summer”, and that’s where the idea was born to bring them out into the world and into every bag.

Because a tiny crochet ice cream is not just a cute object: it’s a symbol of lightness, summer handmade joy, and that carefree vibe that feels like sand between your fingers and projects under a beach umbrella.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your hook and help yourself: today we’re making ice cream—by hand and with love.
