Klondike Village Collection: Comfy Cocoa Shack

Klondike Village runs on steaming cups of Cocoa. Whether the villagers are getting pepped to get their holiday shopping done, meeting with coworkers for party planning, Caroling their way through the village, or grabbing a cup with friends after conquering the sledding hill, cocoa is a hot item on the agenda.

Align the white countertop panel over the open edges of the brown countertop matching each of the corners with a safety pin to hold them in place. Now, begin to SC around the edges, pausing when you have 10 ST left to stuff the counter firmly with fiberfill. After you have stuffed the counter, continue to SC the last remaining 10 ST to close the seam. Fasten off and weave in end.

Fold the panel in half to form a long strip. Lay the strip flat on the Ultra firm Pellon and using a pencil or marking chalk, trace the outline of the strip.

Cut out the strip of Pellon and sandwich it inside the crocheted strip making sure that the decorative side of the crocheted strip is facing out. Using the long tail for stitching and a yarn needle, stitch the open seams around the edges of the strip.

Once you have stitched the seams of the panel closed, fasten off and weave in the loose end. Now fold the panel in half to make a crease that will become the peak of the roof for the cocoa shack.

Marshmallow edging:

Attach white yarn with a SLST to the corner edge of one of the long edges of the panel roof panel. Now make a bobble ST by ( CH 2, YO, insert into same ST, pull up a loop, YO insert into same ST, pull up a loop, YO insert into same ST, pull up a loop. You should now have 7 loops on the hook. YO once more and pull through all loops on the hook. ) *SLST in the next 5 ST, Bobble ST.** Repeat from * to ** across the edge of the roof panel. Fasten off and weave in end.
Repeat the Marshmallow edging on the other long edge of the panel.

Marshmallow edging:

Attach White yarn with a SLST to the last ST of Row 11 of the Front or Back Roof Panel. SLST in the next 6 ST, Make a Bobble ST in the 6th ST, SLST in the next 5 ST. Fasten off and weave in end. Repeat with the other Front or back Roof Panel.

Now, lay the panel on a piece of Pellon and trace around the rounded square section down to the seam line. Cut out the Pellon piece and insert it inside the cocoa machine to create rigidity in the upper section.
Fold the lower section at a 90 degree angle and stitch the unfinished lower edge in place.
