Staple Instructions to My Free Patterns
These patterns are created by yours truly. Enjoy!

• Making a cake is easy! When working with the pattern, you can adjust the size of the cake by adding or subtracting the number of rounds.

• My patterns can be used with any yarn weight and color.

• Use a smaller size hook, about 1-2 mm less than the manufacturer recommended size. This will create tight tension/stitches, forming a defined shape to your piece.

• Invisible decreases can be in place of single crochet decreases.

• As an alternative, stitch in back ridges when working in a chain.

• Weave in ends as work progresses.

• Stuff the cake with fiber filling. Or if making a cake sachet, start with a tulle circle or mesh. Place potpourri in the center, secure the net fabric with a rubber band, and stuff it in the cake...a cake sachet!

• Sew or glue pieces together when assembling.

• All of my work is constructed from tight stitches and even tension. I almost always use the extolled Cotton Classic in DK weight by Tahki Stacy Charles, and sometimes organic cotton or just cotton from a different brand, accompanied with a D/3.0 mm needle size. This 100% cotton yarn brings ease to every stitch and creates a smooth finish. Moreover, there is a vast array of vibrant colors to choose from. It is unparalleled yarn that brings its natural goodness to any project.

Have fun with these patterns! These templates are for the endless imagination of those who are not satiated with the transience of sugary, edible art. Use them as an impetus for your creativity!
