Finishing:
You will only add details to one side of the tree. Use my picture as a guide for where to put your frosting and sprinkles. Don’t worry if your details aren’t exactly like mine, the real cakes aren’t all the same either! Use red to duplicate stitch frosting lines and use green to stitch sprinkles all over the tree. Seam the two trees together. I found seaming the 2 sides then stuffing and seaming the bottom closed worked best for me.
Happy Knitting!
