I Can Haz Cheezburger?

A WIP finally finished! This has been half finished for the longest time because I couldn't get the proportions right. This ended up being about 2-3 inches in diameter, so more like a slider than a full sized cheeseburger. Originally, this started out from the Lion Brand Yarn pattern for the Jumbo Burger, but I didn't want to make a burger 8 inches across so I decided to miniaturize and make up the pattern as I went.

Everything I kind of eye balled to get it to look right, except the tomatoes. I used a Crochet Spot tutorial to get the nice spokes on the tomato slices. Except, in the end, it didn't matter since I sewed it together so tightly, but it was a nice detail if I had arranged the pieces differently.

The pattern is as follows: (hopefully everything turns out proportionally sized)
Gauge is not particularly important.  All the yarns I used were Red Heart Super Saver Solids in various colors.  G hook for everything.

A square. (Sorry, I didn't write this one out when I was making it, but use your best judgement for how large it should be.  It should be just big enough so that the edges hang out over the sides of the bun.)


And, just one more note, I understand Front loops (FLO) to be the ones closest to you when you push your hook through the yarn and Back loops (BLO) to be the ones farthest from you.  Leave a comment if that doesn't make sense.
