Cup of milk
11:15am on the 9th of July, 2008
For Ella Bean’s fourth birthday we gifted her with a fabulous retro play kitchen. For some of her small gifts, I improvised up a few things for her new kitchen- including this super quick, super simple to make cup of milk.
This is a beginner (easy) pattern.
You’ll need:
worsted weight yarn (cotton, acrylic, wool is my personal preference) in cup color & small amount of white or off white yarn for the milk. If desired, you can use a contrast color to embroider on the cup like I did.
size G hook
stuffing (wool roving or polyfill)
darning needle
NOTE- Do NOT join rounds!
Making the cup-
Round 1: With cup color, 6 sc into a magic ring (6 sc).
Round 2: 2 sc in ea st around (12 sc).
Round 3: sc in 1st st, 2 sc in next st (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around (18 sc).
Round 4: sc in the first two sc, 2 sc in next st, (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (24 sc).
Round 5: sc in the first three sc, 2 sc in next st, (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (30 sc).
Round 6: sc in the BACK LOOPS ONLY of each st around (30 sc).
Rounds 7- 21: sc around
Round 22: Slip stitch into each stitch. This creates a “cup edge.”
Finish off leaving a long tail (about 9 inches or so) to sew milk to the top of the cup.
Making the milk-
Round 1: With white/off-white, 6 sc in a magic ring (6 sc).
Round 2: 2 sc in ea st around (12 sc).
Round 3: sc in 1st st, 2 sc in next st (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around (18 sc).
Round 4: sc in the first two sc, 2 sc in next st, (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (24 sc).
Round 5: sc in the first three sc, 2 sc in next st, (sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around (30 sc).
Finish of with a slip stitch & weave in yarn end.
To assemble, sew “milk” to round 21 & leave about an inch & a half opening for ease of stuffing. Stuff somewhat firmly, then finish sewing the gap. Weave in the yarn end well as this is intended for a child’s toy, bring yarn to bottom of cup & pull slightly then snip the yarn end.
Super simple!
