Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Experiment with colors for different cookie flavors (e.g., chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla).
  • Add beads or embroidery for extra detail on the facial expression or buttons.
  • Use a stitch marker to avoid losing track of stitches when making the scalloped edge.

Tip

When sewing or gluing the edges, apply glue sparingly to avoid seepage. Work small areas at a time to retain a clean finish.

This Matcha Cookie Pendant is a delightful and versatile crochet project worthy of showing off! With its scalloped edge, sewn expression, and hanging loop, it’s both functional and visually appealing.
