Insert a stitch marker to hold your place and remove your hook as we work on the seeds.

Fasten off the main color and the white and leave short tails – we will bury them once we sc the fruit slice closed.

 

Seeds: 

Step 1: Cut a long strand of white embroidery thread. Position your fruit slice so that the last worked st with the stitch marker is facing the left. 

Step 2: Using your yarn needle, weave four long white lines along the bottom half of the circle. 

Step 3: Sew 3 seeds between the slices. Go through the seeds twice to make them more prominent. Secure the tails in a knot on the wrong side of the work. 

 

Rnd 4 (cont.): Fold the circle in half. Going through both edges, sc the lemon slice closed into a semi-circle shape. Tuck the yarn tails in as you work. 

Fasten off and leave a short tail to bury into the fruit slice. 

Secure the lemon slice on top of the whipped cream with hot glue.
