Step 6Make the Icing
Finally, the entire icing section is worked in the back loops of the stitches you made in the previous round. Because we will be working every stitch in the back loops, the ridge will spiral from the middle of the work, giving it the appearance that creamy icing has been spread on in layers.
Round 1: Attach your yarn to the hook with a slip knot and chain two. Make six half-double crochet stitches in the second chain from the hook. Place your stitch marker in the last (6th) half-double crochet.
Round 2: Working in the back loops of round 1, make two half-double crochet stitches in each stitch around. Move your marker to the last (12th) half-double crochet.
Reminder: Don't forget to keep working the the back loops from the previous round for the rest of the pattern!
Round 3: *Make 2 half-double crochet stitches in the first stitch from round 2, then make one half-double crochet stitch in the next. Repeat this pattern from the * all the way around. Move your marker to the last (18th) half-double crochet.
Round 4: *Make 2 half-double crochet stitches in the first stitch from round 3, then make one half-double crochet stitch in each of the next two stitches. Repeat this pattern from the * all the way around. Move your marker to the last (24th) half-double crochet.
Round 5: *Make 2 half-double crochet stitches in the first stitch from round 4, then make one half-double crochet stitch in each of the next three stitches. Repeat this pattern from the * all the way around. Move your marker to the last (30th) half-double crochet.
Round 6: *Make 2 half-double crochet stitches in the first stitch from round 5, then make one half-double crochet stitch in each of the next four stitches. Repeat this pattern from the * all the way around. Move your marker to the last (36th) half-double crochet.
Round 7: *Make 2 half-double crochet stitches in the first stitch from round 6, then make one half-double crochet stitch in each of the next five stitches. Repeat this pattern from the * all the way around. Move your marker to the last (42nd) half-double crochet.
Once you finish round 7, you are done with the icing. Cut your working yarn, knot it, and weave in the loose end. Your finished icing will look like this:
Round 1: Attach your yarn to the hook with a slip knot and chain two. Make six half-double crochet stitches in the second chain from the hook. Place your stitch marker in the last (6th) half-double crochet.
Round 2: Working in the back loops of round 1, make two half-double crochet stitches in each stitch around. Move your marker to the last (12th) half-double crochet.
