This cereal set is super cute and would undeniably make a fun “play set” for any young child! Each little object in this cereal bundle has a smile 🙂 Isn’t that so cute?! The cereal includes two types of shapes: loops and balls, so you can make the type of cereal you like most! (I’m partial to loops 😁) . Let’s get started!

Milk for Bowl:

Start in White

Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Inc* all around (12)
Round 3: *Inc, Sc in the next st* all around (18)
Round 4: *Inc, Sc in the next 2 st* all around (24)
Round 5: *Inc, Sc in the next 3 st* all around (30)
Round 6: *Inc, Sc in the next 4 st* all around (36)
Round 7: *Inc, Sc in the next 5 st* all around (42)
Round 8: *Inc, Sc in the next 6 st* all around (48)
Round 9: *Inc, Sc in the next 7 st* all around (54)
Round 10: *Inc, Sc in the next 8 st* all around (60)
Round 11: *Inc, Sc in the next 9 st* all around (66)
Round 12: *Inc, Sc in the next 10 st* all around (72)
Finish off and weave in ends. Set aside for now. Place the milk onto cardboard. Trace around the crochet piece onto the cardboard, then cut out the cardboard. This will give you a circular cardboard shape. Later we will insert this cardboard into the cereal so that the “milk” part is flat, rather than uneven and lumpy from the stuffing. 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)

eyes, 10 st apart

Cereal Loops:

In any color

Round 7: *Dec, Sc in the next 2 st* all around (18)
Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Before we sew the ring closed, we need to stuff it. To stuff it easier, take a handful-sized amount of stuffing. Then, roll the stuffing between your hands in a back-and-forth motion to make the stuffing into a long tube-shape. Stuff this inside the ring. Then, sew the ring closed.

Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Align the bottom of this piece to the edge of the milk box (Pic 1), and sew them together. Now place the tail of yarn coming from the tip onto your needle, and insert it a few stitches INTO the milk box (Pic 2). This will angle the sides of the box, making the milk box look more realistic. Now sew the sides to the box at an angle (Pic 3). Once done, finish off and weave in ends.
