Tip:

Materials Needed:

• Yarn of your choice
• 2 mm crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun

Cake Layer:

Start by making 43 chains.

• Create a slip knot to begin the chain.
• Yarn over and pull through to make the first chain. Continue this to complete 43 chains.
• Identify the chains and locate the left strand of the 4th chain.
• Insert the hook into this strand, yarn over and pull through.
• You will have three loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through two loops, then yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops to create one double crochet.
• Make 40 double crochets in total.

After completing 40 double crochets, make a chain, pull out the yarn slightly, and cut it to finish the cake layer.

Cream Layer:

Make 33 chains using the same method as the cake layer.

• Start with a slip knot, then yarn over and pull through to create the chains.
• Work 30 double crochets for the cream layer.
• Once done, make another chain, pull out the yarn slightly, and cut it.

Cherry:

Start with a magic ring.

• Make a loop, insert the hook and make two chains.
• Create six half double crochets into the magic ring.
• Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch.
• Once you have six half double crochets, pull the yarn to tighten the loop and close the magic ring.
• Make a slip stitch into the first half double crochet to join the round, then make a chain.
• Pull out the yarn slightly and cut it.
• Tighten the loop to give the cherry a round shape.
• Insert the hook in the center and pull through a yarn to create the stem of the cherry. Cut to the desired length.

Assembly:

Use the hot glue gun to stick the cream layer onto the cake layer. Be cautious, as the glue may be hot.

• Finally, glue the cherry on top of the cream layer.

Finishing Touches:

Ensure that you securely attach all parts together with glue.

• Optionally, you can add a key ring or loop of yarn to turn the crochet cake into a keychain.
