Step by Step Pattern

Part 1: Inner Filling of the Tart

1. Magic Ring: Begin by making a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (does not count as a stitch), work 14 double crochet (DC) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight and slip stitch to the first DC to join the round. (14 stitches)
3. Round 2: Chain 3. Work 2 DC into each stitch around (14 increases). Slip stitch to the first DC to join. (28 stitches)
4. Round 3: Chain 2. Work a pattern of 1 half double crochet (HDC), followed by 1 HDC increase in the next stitch. Repeat this sequence 14 times around. (42 stitches)
5. Finishing: Use an invisible slip stitch to create a seamless edge. Secure the yarn ends by weaving them into the back of the work. Trim any excess yarn. This piece will serve as the inside filling of the tart.

Part 2: Tart Crust

1. Follow Rounds 1–2 as described for the tart filling.
2. Round 3: Chain 3. Work 1 DC into the back loop only (BLO) of each stitch around. This creates the ridge for the tart crust. Slip stitch to the first DC to join. (28 stitches)
3. Round 4: Chain 3. Use front post double crochet (FPDC) to create the tart's textured edge. The pattern is 1 FPDC increase, followed by 1 FPDC. Repeat 14 times around. (42 stitches)

Part 3: Joining the Inner Filling and Crust

1. Start Joining: Chain 3. Work 2 FPDC stitches into the next 2 posts.
2. Joining Stitches: Insert the hook into the front loop of the next crust stitch and simultaneously insert it into the next inner filling stitch. Work a DC through both layers to join. Repeat this joining DC one more time in the same crust stitch but the next filling stitch.
3. Repeat Pattern: Alternate between 2 FPDC stitches in the crust and 2 joining DC stitches to connect the inner filling around. Leave a small opening at the end.
4. Stuffing: Use fiberfill or yarn scraps to gently stuff the tart for a plump shape.
5. Finishing: Carefully complete the round, and use an invisible join to give a seamless appearance. Weave in ends securely and trim any excess yarn.

Part 4: Cream Topping

1. Magic Ring and Round 1: Create a magic ring and chain 1, working 8 single crochet (SC) into the ring. Pull tight and slip stitch to the first SC to join. (8 stitches)
2. Round 2: Chain 1, work 2 SC into each stitch around (8 increases). Slip stitch to the first SC to join. (16 stitches)
3. Round 3: Chain 1. Work 1 SC, chain 3, skip 1 stitch. Repeat around for a total of 8 chain 3 spaces. Slip stitch to the first SC to finish.

   • Chain 3, then SC into the next SC stitch.

4. Shaping: Thread the yarn tail through the remaining back loops of the last round and pull tight to close the top.
5. Blueberry Star Top: To give the characteristic star on the blueberry's top, thread the yarn through the remaining front loops of the six stitches and gently pull to create an indentation. Add the textured top by repeatedly threading through these loops.
