Sweeties

For toy boxes or little charms, these sugar free treats are sure to sweeten your day. The assortment includes my pick n mix favourites: rhubarb and custard hard candies, ball lollipops, chocolate ice creams, foam bananas, gummy love hearts, fruit slices, milk and cola bottles, snakes, rings and cherries. These little sweets use simple increases and decreases for shaping, and each makes a super project for using up leftover yarn. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knit in DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, short rows, changing colours at the end of a row, and seaming to finish.
