Cookie Sandwiches!

Sandwich Cookie (AKA Oreos) 

I used:

• Brown, yellow, pink, white and baby blue yarn
• yarn needle
• G crochet hook
• small strip magnets (round ones work too)

Directions:

Round 1: 15 dc in an adjustable ring
Round 2: ch 2, dc in same dc, 2 dc in each dc around (30 dc)
finish off

• 2 brown, 1 white (oreo) 
• 2 yellow, 1 white (vanilla) 
• 2 brown, 1 pink (strawberry) 
• 2 yellow, 1 chocolate (reverse oreo) 
• 2 brown, 1 any color (flavored frosting) 

Layer the colors and sew them together through all three layers to form the cookie.
An alternative option, make double the amount and place a magnet inside each so your little one can take the Cookie apart just like the real ones! 2 brown, 2 white, 2 brown each section gets whip stitch sewn together with a magnet in the center.

S'mores Anyone!

I've came up with a S’more crochet pattern which I modified from a pattern I found here.
My daughter LOVES this version!

The modifications I made to the pattern makes the pieces of the S'more more durable so they do not have to be attached together. The S'more can be made and re-made as many times as your child wishes. My daughter likes when the items come apart. You could also add magnets to the inside of each layer to make them stay together.

I used:
Worsted Weight yarn colors: Brown (chocolate), Tan (graham) and White (marshmallow)
Crochet hook G or F
Gauge is not important
scissors
yarn needle

Graham Cracker - (make 2)
Row 1: ch 14, dc in third ch from hook and in each ch across: 12 dc
Row 2 – 6: ch 2, turn, dc in each dc across: 12 dc
Row 7: ch 2, turn, dc in the back loop of each dc across: 12 dc
Row 8 – 12: ch 2, turn dc in each dc across: 12 dc

to finish: fold over at the back loop and sew up the remaining 3 sides. The double layer will make the cracker thicker and more sturdy.

Chocolate
Row 1: ch 12, dc in third ch from hook and in each ch across: 10 dc
Row 2 – 5: ch 2, turn, dc in each dc across: 10 dc
Row 6: ch 1, turn, sc in the back loop of each dc across: 10 sc
Row 7 – 14: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across: 10 sc

to finish: fold over at the back loop row and sew up the remaining 3 sides. To make the “chocolate ridges” do a back stitch line down the center of the 2 bumps on the dc side. This style gives the chocolate more of a realistic look.

Marshmallow
Round 1: with white, make an adjustable base ring, ch 2 and make 6 sc in the adjustable ring, pull the ring tight, place a marker in the first ring: 6 sc
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around: 12 sc
Round 3: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc) around: 18 sc
Round 4: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc) around: 24 sc
Round 5: sc in the back loop of each sc around: 24 sc
Round 6 – 10: sc in each sc around: 24 sc
Round 11: sc in the back loop of each sc around: 24 sc
Round 12: (decrease, sc in next 2 sc) around: 18 sc
Stuff marshmallow just a little bit of fiberfill
Round 13: (decrease, sc in next sc) around: 12 sc
Round 14: (sc decrease) around: 6 sc
Finish off and sew marshmallow shut.

If you want the marshmallow to have a slightly dented top and bottom then pull the tail through the entire marshmallow to the bottom loop around the center of the bottom of the marshmallow and pull back up, loop around the top of the marshmallow and tie off. Run the end back through the center of the marshmallow to finish off.

And here is a picture of the little lady I made this for!

Yes, I made the hat she is wearing too! It was for her 2nd birthday party.
