Pattern Instructions

Part One: Inner Filling

Step 1: Round 1 (Magic Ring)

1. Create a magic ring and chain 3 (does not count as a stitch).
2. Work 14 double crochet (DC) into the ring.
   • To create a DC: Yarn over, insert hook into ring, yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook), yarn over, pull through the first two loops, yarn over, pull through the last two loops.
3. Tighten the magic ring and slip stitch (SLST) to the first DC to join the round.

Step 2: Round 2 (Increases)

1. Chain 3 (does not count as a stitch).
2. Work 2 DC into each stitch (double crochet increase) around for a total of 28 stitches.
3. SLST to the first DC to join.

Step 3: Round 3

1. Chain 2.
2. Work the following sequence around:
   • 1 half double crochet (HDC) into the first stitch.
   • 2 HDC into the next stitch (HDC increase).
   • Repeat this sequence 14 times to create 42 stitches.
3. Fasten off using the Invisible Slip Stitch:
   • Pull yarn through the loop.
   • Thread it into the tapestry needle and run it through the first stitch of the round from behind.
   • Insert the needle back into the last stitch’s back loop for a seamless finish.

Part Two: Tart Crust

Rounds 1 and 2

1. Repeat Round 1 and Round 2 from the inner filling to create the crust base (same stitch counts).

Round 3: Creating the Crust Edge

1. Chain 3.
2. Work 1 DC into the back loop only of each stitch around (this creates a ridge for a crisp crust edge).
3. SLST to the first DC to join.

Round 4: Textured Crust Edge

1. Chain 3.
2. Use Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) for a ribbed effect. Repeat the following pattern:
   • 1 FPDC increase (2 FPDC in the same stitch).
   • 1 FPDC (into the next post).
   • Repeat this sequence 14 times to create 42 stitches.
3. SLST to the first FPDC to join.

Part Three: Joining the Inner Filling to the Crust

1. Chain 3.
2. Work:
   • 2 FPDC (one in each of the next two posts).
   • 1 joining DC: Insert the hook into the front loop of the next crust stitch and simultaneously into the corresponding inner filling stitch. Complete as a DC.
   • 1 more DC joining stitch (in the same crust stitch but the next inner filling stitch).
3. Repeat: 2 FPDC, 2 joining DC around.
4. Leave a small opening near the end of the round and lightly stuff the tart with fiberfill or yarn scraps.
5. Complete the round with an invisible join and securely weave in the yarn ends.

Part Four: Fluffy Cream Topping

Round 1

1. Begin with a magic ring.
2. Chain 1 and work 8 single crochet (SC) into the ring. SLST to the first SC to close.

Round 2

1. Chain 1.
2. Work 2 SC into each stitch around (8 increases total). You’ll have 16 stitches.
3. SLST to the first stitch.

Round 3: Preparing Chain Spaces

1. Chain 1.
2. Work the following pattern around:
   • 1 SC, chain 3, skip 1 stitch.
   • Repeat 8 times.
3. SLST to the first SC to finish, creating 8 chain spaces.

Round 4: Cream Puffs

1. Chain 3, then yarn over twice.
2. Into the first chain space, work 8 unfinished treble crochet stitches (TRC).
   • To leave them unfinished: Don’t pull through the final two loops. Keep all the loops on your hook.
   • Once you have nine loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all loops.
3. Chain 3 to secure the puff and SC into the next SC stitch.
4. Repeat: Puff stitch in each chain space, SC into the next SC.
5. Finish by chaining 3 and SLST to the first SC. Fasten off and weave in ends.

   • 1 SC, 1 invisible SC decrease (insert hook into front loops of 2 stitches, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through all loops).*
   • Repeat 3 times to have 6 stitches left.
3. Cut yarn, leaving a tail. Use the tail to weave through the remaining back loops and pull tight to close the top. This creates the signature blueberry indentation.
