Paired with our felt jammy dodger pattern and our free crochet biscuit pattern, you'll have a full afternoon tea party that looks good enough to eat.
These crochet sweets are really easy to create, using just simple double crochet stitches, they’re great for beginners or if you need a quick last-minute project.
