Free crochet pattern "Strawberry Tart Hair Tie" | A knitting pattern to enjoy in any season

This is a crocheted piece.

I made a crocheted sweet into a hair tie.
I was wondering what kind of sweets to use as charms, but for the first one, I thought it would be best to choose something that is easy to understand at a glance, so I chose cake.
I think it would be fun to place this cake on a delicate doily and attach it to a bag like a corsage.

Instructions

Please refer to the knitting pattern along with the instructions below.

①Start knitting from the tart base.
Make the chain stitch with one stitch, then increase the number of stitches in rows 1 to 11 while knitting back and forth in a circular stitch pattern.
The 12th row is the same as the previous row.One on the other sideScoop up the yarn and make a double crochet (stitch).
In the 13th row, work a back knit stitch.

②Knit the white cream part.
Cast on with one chain stitch and work back and forth knitting stitches up to the 10th row.
Next, go around the triangle and knit the sides with a knit stitch. For the second row of the side,One on the other sideScoop it up and knit it.
Once you have knitted the third row, cut the yarn.

③Once you have knitted the cream part, knit a decorative piece of cream all the way around the top of the triangle.
To start knitting, insert the needle from the front of the triangle, scooping up the knitted fabric, attach the yarn, and pull the yarn out from the fabric.
Knit three chain stitches, then insert the crochet hook into the knitting a little further ahead and knit a slip stitch.
Repeat this process to go around the triangle.

④Next, knit mini strawberries for decoration.
Cast on 6 chain stitches. There are 5 strawberries, but leave one extra chain as an extra (to make it easier to knit the last one).
Please refer to the knitting pattern for detailed instructions on how to knit strawberries.

④ Once you have knitted the cake parts, first sew the strawberries to the cream, then sew the cream to the tart base. Add the cotton filling halfway through.

⑤Next, wrap the elastic around the braid.
The diameter of the elastic will vary, so to make it a multiple of three, wrap it around the knit stitch, then pull it through the first stitch to make a loop (because the pattern knitting is 3 stitches to 1).
To prevent the yarn from being pulled too tightly even when the elastic stretches, knit a large number of stitches tightly around the yarn.

⑥ For the second row of elastic, knit a pattern as shown in the knitting pattern.

⑦Once the elastic is ready, sew on the cake charm and it's finished.
