CREAM FILLING
Recommended size of needle is 6.5mm (US 10.5)
Cast on 4 sts.
Using i-cord technique, continue until work measures aprox 100cms (40ins)
pwt leave a long yarn tail for sewing up.
If using different size needles to the ones suggested measure the icord by swirling round one of the halves, knit enough to double up on the outside edge.

 To Assemble
1. Weave yarn ends away on the wrong side of the cake halves.
Right side for the inside half is the knit side
Right side for the cake half is the reverse side – the side which looks like purl.
Place the two pieces together, wrong sides touching. Line up the decreasing stitches of the two pieces. With sewing thread in a matching colour sew round the edge, with running stitches

2. Leave a gap of approximately 2 inches. Insert stuffing. DO NOT OVERSTUFF. Keep cake half flatish. Sew closed the gap.


3. Swirl round the icord on one of the halves. With a long sharp needle, use the yarn tail to sew in place. Double up the icord at the edge.


4. Place the top half of the whoopie pie on top of the cream. With a sewing thread in a matching colour attach the edge of the cake half to the cream.
5. Seed beads can be sewn round the cream to represent sprinkles.
