How to make Cheese and Tomato Sandwiches

CHEESE  AND TOMATO SANDWICHES

 

To begin with, Fourteen stitches of  Fawn Double Knit 100% Acrylic Wool was cast on to 4mm knitting needles.  Twenty Five rows were knitted (using garter stitch) and then cast off.  The ends were sewn in with a wool needle to give a neat appearance.

For the cheese filling 26 stitches of Yellow 100% Acrylic Double Knit Wool were cast on, again with 4mm needles and 2 rows of garter stitch were knitted before casting off.

The three tomato pieces were made by casting on 12 stitches of Red Double Knit 100% Acrylic Wool.   The yarn is then cut leaving a long end. Sew the thread through all the stitches on the knitting needle, pull and gather up tightly then fastened off.  The end was sewn in using a wool needle. 

The sandwich is put together by placing glue on two sides of the bread piece and placing the cheese on top, pinning it to hold it in place until the glue has dried.  Remove the pins as soon as the glue has dried.

The tomato pieces are then put in place and pinned until the glue has dried.

Remove the pins that were holding the tomato in place.  Putting glue around the interior of the bread piece, fold over the bread onto the cheese and tomato.  This is held in place by 5 pins until dry.  Remove the pins once dry and this will give a nice triangular sandwich .
