Fortune Cookie Fast and Easy
This Fortune Cookie is super easy.
It can be made
very quickly.
And it holds its shape.
I included where to place the holding stitches.
They can be made in any color for special occasions.
I also added some fortunes that you can print.
I know it’s a bit late for the Chinese New Year.
Think of it as a bit early for next year’s festival.
The Cookies are great anytime, for any celebration:
Red or Pink for Valentine’s Day.
Green for Saint Paddy’s Day.
White for a Wedding Celebration.
Rainbow colors for Birthdays.
Pastels for Baby Showers.
Black and Orange for Halloween.
Black and Orange for Halloween.
Red and Green for Christmas.
Whatever you desire….Go Wild!
Everyone loves a good fortune.

arrow).
Bring the needle back up to the
front, in the next stitch-hole (Blue Arrow).
Then, insert the needle into
the stitch-hole to the right of the first stitch (Purple Arrow).
There should be two vertical lines with the center
hole in the middle (Photo 5).
Turn the piece to the back,
pull the yarn-end and the circle should fold in half (Photo 6).
Insert the needle back and
forth once more through the same stitches (both layers) to strengthen.
Weave in the end.

Make sure the fastened off
yarn-end is to one side. (Photo 7).
Finishing the Top Edge:

Skip the next stitch to the

And carry on through the next
stitch to the right, back to front (Photo 8).
Continue to weave through
both loops of each side, back and forth of the matching stitches along the edge
(Photo 9).
Pull each stitch gently so
they are snug, but not tight.
Leave an opening of the last three sc’s from each side (Red Arrows: Photo 10).
Leave an opening of the last three sc’s from each side (Red Arrows: Photo 10).

fortune.
May good luck follow you always!
