Introduction

Welcome to this crochet tutorial where I'll be showing you how to create a plate of biscuits and a cake. These adorable crochet creations are part of the Teddy Bears Picnic Baby Blanket series. In this tutorial, we will go step by step through the process of crocheting each element and then assembling them together. Grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• 4 ply crochet cotton in various colors (yellow, creamy color, orange, light brown, dark brown, and white)
• Scissors
• 1.5 millimeter crochet hook
• Darning needle (for weaving in ends)
• Sewing needle and thread (for stitching)

Now that you have everything you need, let's dive into crocheting the different components of our biscuit and cake creations!

Crocheting the Biscuits

Chocolate Chip Biscuits

To start, we'll crochet two chocolate chip biscuits. Each biscuit is made up of one section, so we will work one section for each biscuit. Begin by creating a magic loop and work one chain. Then, work six single crochet stitches into the circle. When you have completed all six single crochet stitches, join with a slip stitch and fasten off. Repeat this process to create the second chocolate chip biscuit.

Delta Creams

Next, let's crochet the delta creams. For each biscuit, we will have two brown sections and one white section. Follow the same process as the chocolate chip biscuits, creating a magic loop and working one chain. This time, work two brown sections and one white section for each biscuit. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.

Orange Slices

Moving on to the orange slices, we will use two cream sections and one orange section for each biscuit. Once again, create a magic loop and work one chain. Crochet two cream sections and one orange section for each biscuit. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.

Crocheting the Plate

Now, let's crochet the plate. The plates are worked the same way, using the color yellow. Begin by creating a magic loop and work one chain. Crochet three half double crochet stitches into the circle, followed by three treble stitches. Repeat this pattern six times to complete the plate. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.

Crocheting the Cake

Now it's time to crochet the cake. The cake consists of two cake sections and a filling in the middle. The icing on top is worked differently.

Cake Sections

Start by creating a magic loop and work three chains. Crochet 16 treble stitches into the circle. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off. Repeat this process to create the second cake section.

Icing

The icing on the cake is created using a different technique. Begin with a magic loop and work three chains. Crochet two treble stitches into the circle. Then, work three chains, skip the first chain, and slip stitch into the remaining two chains. Follow this pattern of three treble stitches, two chain stitches, and slip stitches four more times. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off. This will create a beautiful dripping icing effect.

Flower Decoration

To add a decorative touch to the top of your cake, crochet a small white flower. Create a magic loop and work two chains. Then, make five petals by repeating two chains and slip stitches five more times. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.

Assembling the Biscuits and Cake

Now that you have crocheted all the individual pieces, it's time to assemble them. Start by embroidering chocolate chips onto the chocolate chip biscuits using a darning needle and thread. Then, attach the cream biscuits together by stitching through all the layers around the edges. Place the orange slice in the middle of two cream sections and the white section in the middle of two brown sections. Stitch through all the layers to secure them.

For the cake, stack the brown, white, and brown cake sections on top of each other. Attach the icing on top of the cake by stitching around the edges of all the layers. Finally, attach the flower decoration in the center of the cake.

To complete the assembly, arrange all the crocheted pieces on the plate. Stitch them securely to the plate by stitching through all the layers.
