Cute-cake

Saw some cute-cakes in youtube and thought I’d give it a try. It’s just a basic head started with 6 sc in a magic ring… so, intructions.

HEAD

1. sc 6 into a magic ring
2. 2sc in each sc= 12
3. (sc, sc2 in next st)6= 18
4. (2 sc, sc2 in next st) 6= 24
5. (3sc, sc2 in next st)6= 30 6-10 sc around NOTE: I attached the eyes at the end of round 9.
6. (3sc, dec)6=24
7. (2sc, dec)6=18 NOTE: If you decide to use a felt snout this is the time to sew it on, I placed it to sit between rounds 9 and 11.
8. (sc, dec)= 12 NOTE: stuffing now is a good idea.
9. (dec on each st)=6 NOTE: stuff some more if needed. Use this link text to finish it off.

EARS
ch 2

1. sc 6 into second chain from hook, sc one to turn
2. sc in each of the 6 sts. BO

Attach ears and you’re done.
I used a 4 mm hook and Polar Knit yarn.

Pasties!!!

Garter stitch headband

The whole thing is knitted in garter stitch, which you get by knitting every round. In order to get a clean edge I slip the first stitch of every round from the back and holding the yarn in front, like shown in the picture.

The increases are then done in the second stitch and are all kfb.

For the gray/brownish one I used Mix n’Match Fantasy, 4 mm needles and 3.5 mm crochet hook for the flower.

Headband:

CO 6 sts

Rnd 1: k all

Rnd 2: sl first st, kfb, k5

Rnd 3: sl first st, k to end

Rnd 4: sl first st, k to end

Rnd 5: sl first st, kbf, k to end

Continue increasing like established until rnd 31 (no increase there)

Rnd 32-35: sl first st, kbf, k to end

You should now have 20 sts, work aprox. 90 rnds more slipping the first st of every rnd or until peace measures 30 cm aprox. To decrease follow the increasing pattern:

Rnd 126-129: sl first st, k2tog, k to end

Rnd 130: sl first st, k to end

Rnd 131: sl first st, k to end

Rnd 132: sl first st, k2tog, k to end

Rnd 133: sl first st, k to end

Rnd 134: sl first st, k to end

Rnd 135: sl first st, k2tog, k to end

Continue on decreasing until you have 7 sts:

Buttonhole rnd1: sl first st, k1, BO 3, k2

Buttonhole rnd 2: sl first st, k1, CO2, k2

Final rnd: sl first st, k to end.

BO and weave in ends.

Flower:

Magic loop

Rnd 1: (sc in ring, 3 dc) 5 times, sl in first sc to close.

Rnd 2: (ch 3, sl into sc) 5 times, sl in first sc to close

Rnd 3: (sc into ch 3 space, hdc, 3dc, hdc, sc) 5 times, sl in first sc to close

Rnd 4: (ch 4, sl into sc) 5 times, sl in first sc to close

Rnd 5: (sc into ch 4 space, hdc, 5tr, hdc, sc) 5 times, sl in first sc to close
