DIY: Dutch Millefeuille

EN

The Netherlands will be facing Mexico tomorrow at World Cup’14 and thinking about it, makes me a bit nervous. Boy, for someone who isn’t a football fan, I sure care and post a lot about the WC lately. I guess I can’t help it c:

But today’s post is a crochet DIY with a pastry that might be not so familiar among you guys: a 'tompouce', also know Dutch millefeuille. A true national delicatessen with puff pastry, pastry cream and pink (now orange) glazing on top.

Since I’m hooked with WC and tompouce is a Dutch food, I was inspired to create a simple DIY! With orange yarn of course c:

Nederland zal worden geconfronteerd met Mexico morgen bij World Cup'14 en dat baart me zorgen. Voor iemand die nauwelijks iets voor voetbal voelt, is het ondewerp WK toch al paar keer voorbij gekomen in mijn blog. Tja, de WK-koorts.

Maar de post van vandaag is een haak DIY, namelijk: de tompouce! Wie kent het nou niet, deze lekkernij van eigen bodem. Misschien een klein beetje overgenomen van de Franse patisserie, maar toch.

Die WK-koorts blijft hangen (voorlopig) en daarom leer ik jullie in een makkelijke handomdraai de tompouce in haakstijl. Uiteraard met oranje draad c:
You need: beige-, cream and orange/pink yarn, 1,75 - 2.00 mm hook pen, scissor, hot glue gun 
Usually the Dutch Millefeuille is pink, but during World Cup or with any other national holidays, they are usually orange glazed. 

Same kind of yarn, different size hook pen. Size does matter. 

Build it up like a lasagna c: 

 I am actually making these for a girlfriend of mine! 


I only have this really pastel pink yarn so I gave this piece a dye because the real millefeuille is super pink. Dye'd with redberries c: 

Before and after!


Da Steps:

  1. Make: 2x beige (pastry), 2x cream (filling), 1x pink/orange (glaze): applies to all yarns: chain 11 first. 
  2. R2: start single crochet in the 2nd chain and single crochet your way to the end of this row. 
  3. R3: chain 1. Single crochet in the 2nd chain and single crochet your way to the end of this row.
  4. R4: REPEAT, leave a tail and cut off.
  5. Once you have crochet all 5 pieces, use a hot glue gun to securely attache to each other, like shown in the pictures above! 
Good luck!

  3. That's really cool how you dyed the yarn with berries. Just wondering, what makes a Dutch millefeuille different from a normal one?
