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. For example, varying the top of the cake corresponds with the width
and the side of the cake, the height. To fill a cake, 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 - voilà, a cake sachet!
All of my work is constructed from tight stitches and even tension. I only use the extolled Cotton Classic
by Tahki Stacy Charles (sometimes organic 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, cotton, to any project. Although these patterns work with any type of yarn, I would
recommend dropping down to a half or whole needle size. These patterns are created by yours truly.
Enjoy!
Thank you everyone for the kind words! Receiving messages from all around the world truly gives me
enormous pleasure in spreading the joy of making something for someone or for a good cause. If you
would like to make a contribution, please help support the following animal welfare organizations I am
providing for currently: Animal Place, Crafters for Critters, RSPCA, Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary,
Wine Country Greyhound Adoption, or any animal group/organization of your choice. Every penny
makes a dramatic difference to the precarious life of an animal. If you've made a donation, thank you
very much on behalf of the animals.
