The custard cream is a British classic and no collection of biscuits, knitted or otherwise, would be complete without it. The distinctive diamond shape is worked in stocking stitch with moss stitch surrounding it. You can finish it off by sewing the words ‘CUSTARD CREAM’ in a different shade within the diamond. I used 4 mm (US #6) needles and a DK yarn.

To make up Taking the biscuit filling, with right sides together, sew the cast-on and cast-off edges together, leaving a 3 cm (1 in) opening at one end which you will use to turn the knitting to the right side later. Make the seam in the centre of the filling so you have two neat edges to poke out from between your biscuit sandwich. Sew up the two end edges. Turn right side out through the opening you left in the centre seam. Place the filling between the two biscuit pieces, with the right side of the stocking-stitch diamond facing outwards. Using biscuit-colour wool, sew through all three layers: top, filling and bottom. Using a contrasting colour, sew the words ‘custard cream’ onto the centre diamond on the top of the biscuit, using the photo as a guide.
