Use small amounts of DK yarn and easy crochet stitches to make a cute tea party play set from Susie Johns

Just the right size for tiny hands, this soft crocheted tea set features a teapot, two cups and saucers, a sugar bowl, milk bottle, round tea tray, a selection of cakes and even two little spoons!
