FIRST COOKIE With MC, CO 14 sts. Work in garter st for 6". BO. Weave in ends.
SECOND COOKIE With MC, CO 14 sts. Work in garter stitch for 3". Next row (buttonhole row): K1, BO 2 sts, knit to end. Next row: K11, use backward loop method to CO 2 sts over gap, k1. Work even until cookie measures 6" from CO edge. BO. Weave in ends.
ICE CREAM LINING With CC, pick up and knit 14 sts from the BO row of the first cookie. Do not turn. Use backward loop method to CO 3 sts, then pick up and knit 14 sts from the BO row of the second cookie—31 sts. As you pick up stitches from the second cookie, make sure you have the buttonhole on the left, outside edge (see schematic). Work in St st, beg with a purl (WS) row, until lining measures 6". BO.
FINISHING With CC, seam the bottom edge of the ice cream lining to the bottom edge of the cookies. With CC, stitch the cookies to the lining along the inner edges only, to create pockets. There will be approximately ½" of lining visible between the cookies. Attach the button to the outer edge of the first cookie, opposite the buttonhole. Be sure to attach the button to the WS of the cookie—that is the side of the cookie that will be on the inside of the case, once closed. Weave in ends. Fold the whole thing in half, fill it up, and button it to secure. Tasty. You can get creative with your color combinations: dark brown cookie with a green liner for mint chocolate, or light brown cookie with a pink liner for strawberry.
