Steps :

Making the milk carton

Step 1: The almond milk carton
The linear stitch at the start of each round does not count as one stitch.

With the white wire:
T1: Do 8 sc in the magic circle, finish with 1 sl st in the first st of T (8)
T2: 1 ml, (1 dbl aug, 1 sc) x 4, 1 sl st in the 1st st of T (16)
T3: 1 ml, (1 dbl aug, 3 sc) x 4, 1 sl st in the 1st st of T (24)
T4: 1 ml, (1 dbl aug, 5 ms) x 4, 1 sl st in the 1st st of T (32)
T5: 1 ml, (1 dbl aug, 7 ms) x 4, 1 sl st in the 1st st of T (40)

T6: 1 ml, then 40 sc in the back strand, 1 sl st in the 1st st of the T (40)

T7: 1 ml, then 40 ms, 1 sl st in the first st of T (40)
T8: 1 ml, (8 ms, 1 dim) x 4, 1 sl st in the 1st st of T (36)
T9 to T19: 1 ml, 36 ms, 1 sl st in the 1st st of T (36)

- Change color

With the beige thread:
T20 to T24: 1 ml, 36 ms, 1 sl st in the first st of T (36)
T25: 1 ml, 6 ms, 1 aug, (8 ms, 1 aug) x 3, 2 ms, 1 sl st in 1st st of T (40)
T26 and 27: 5 ms, 1 ms in b.avt, (9 ms, 1 ms in b.avt) x 3, 4 ms (40)
T28 to 30: 3 ms, 1 ms in b.avt, (9 ms, 1 ms in b.avt) x 3, 4 ms (40)

- Fill with cotton wool without filling completely.
- Fold the top of the brick edge to edge so that the future upper corners * of the front and rear of the brick are juxtaposed (*: at the level of the T25 troughs).
- Close this opening by assembling the two sides edge to edge by threading the wool needle under the outer strands of the stitches

- Stop and hide the wire inside.
- Then insert the hook in the 4th or 5th st from one of the edges, make a loop and crochet 10 or 11 sc to form the top of the brick.
- Fold the outer edges of the top of the brick and fold them inward. Adjust using the top corners *

Note : on rounds 26 to 30 it may be that the locations of the sc in the front strands need to be shifted a bit or two.
Tip : insert a small square of thick cardboard into the bottom of the brick to prevent it from deforming on the padding.

Step 2: The cap
T1: Make 6 ms in the magic circle (6)
T2: 1 aug in each st, 1 sl st in the 1st st of T (12)
T3: 1 ml, 12 ms in b. arr. (12)
T4: (4 ms, 1 dim) x 2 (10)
T 5: 10 sqm (10)
Stop and cut the wire leaving enough length, then assemble the cap on the top of the bottle by making a few stitches with the wool needle.

Step 3: Almond and leaf embroidery
With the sewing needle and the black thread, embroider the contours of an almond and a leaf on the side of the brick where the cap is located. Hide the wires inside

With the Posca felt tip, color the inside of the almond as delicately as possible to avoid overshooting.
Tip : to facilitate coloring, take Posca paint with a very fine brush and paint the inside of the almond with the brush.

Making cookies

Step 1 : Top of the cookie (with beige or brown thread of your choice)
T1: Make 6 ms in the magic circle (6)
T2: 1 aug in each m (12)

T3: (1 sc, 1 aug) 6 times (18)
T4: 1 ms, 1 aug, (2 ms, 1 aug) x 5, then 1 ms (24)
T5: (1 aug, 3 ms) 6 times (30)
Stop and cut the wire, leaving enough length for assembly.

Step 2: Below the cookie
Repeat the operation from T1 to T5

Then assemble the 2 discs with the wool needle, basting it between the stitches. Stop and take in the thread

Step 3: Chocolate chips
Then embroider the chocolate chips or small pieces of chamallows with the thread of the desired color

Repeat the operation for each cookie, varying the colors as desired.

Note : the increases at T4 and 5 are offset, this allows you to obtain a disc without mark of angles at the aug of the last T.
