Why not swap your sponge coloured yarn for dark brown, Paintbox Yarns Simply DK in Coffee Bean is perfect, for a decadent chocolate cake! You can add any coloured icing you like on the top, and embroider some sprinkles with French Knots to decorate your cake!TESTTESTTEST
Amigurumi is not just for crochet! Any little item knitted or crocheted is classed as amigurumi and there are lots of techniques used to create the often tight turns and twists used for little shapes. Watch our YouTube tutorials for a whole range of skills to help you! Knitted and crocheted food is great fun for children - if you don't have any children close to you, you could make some to donate to your local hospital children's ward, or local nursery.

Knitted stitches are harder to bend around corners than crochet stitches, but it can be done! Amanda Berry is one of our favourite knitted toy designers whose clever patterns make complicated shapes easy! Take a look at Amanda's patterns - there are lots of fun foodie patterns including puddings, ice creams, a gorgeous cupcake tea cosy and even sushi!
