AI Thinking Process
Planning
1. **Design Strategy**: To capture the realistic look of a cinnamon scone, I will design a 3D wedge shape. The "cinnamon chips" will be integrated into the top piece using tiny 3-stitch bobbles (nupps) in a contrasting dark brown. The body will use a Seed Stitch (Moss Stitch) to mimic the crumbly texture of a baked scone. The "cinnamon sugar glaze" will be a separate, thinner piece knit in a lighter cream yarn with a scalloped edge to simulate icing drips, then sewn on top.
2. **Construction Plan**:
* **Top Surface**: A triangular piece knit from the base to the tip with integrated bobbles.
* **Bottom Surface**: A plain Stockinette triangle of the same dimensions.
* **Side Gusset**: A long, narrow strip of Seed Stitch to provide depth and structure.
* **Glaze**: A smaller, irregularly shaped triangle with picot edges.
* **Assembly**: The pieces will be seamed using mattress stitch and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.
3. **Quality Assurance**:
* **Texture**: Seed stitch ensures the scone doesn't curl and provides a "crust" feel.
* **Sharp Corners**: I will use slipped-stitch edges on the gusset to ensure the corners of the scone remain crisp rather than rounded.
* **Bobble Distribution**: Bobbles are staggered mathematically to ensure an even distribution of "cinnamon chips."
4. **Final Calculations**:
* Gauge: 20 sts and 28 rows = 4" (10 cm) in Seed Stitch on US 6 (4.0 mm) needles.
* Target Dimensions: 4.5" length, 3.5" width at base, 1.5" thickness.
* Math: Base of 18 sts across 3.5". Decrease 1 st each side every 4th row to achieve a 4.5" height.
Verification
[PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS]
1. **Completeness**: All sections included (Materials, Gauge, Instructions for Top, Bottom, Gusset, Glaze, and Assembly).
2. **Consistency**: The side gusset length (approx. 12.5") matches the perimeter of the triangle (3.5" base + 4.5" side + 4.5" side).
3. **Constraints**: Worsted weight yarn used, US terminology applied, imperial measurements primary.
4. **Safety**: Stitch counts verified at every decrease point.

## Instructions
### Top Surface (Cinnamon Chip Crust)
Using Color A, cast on 18 sts.
**Row 1 (RS)**: *k1, p1; repeat from * to end.
**Row 2 (WS)**: *p1, k1; repeat from * to end.
**Row 3**: Repeat Row 1.
**Row 4 (Decrease Row)**: k2tog, work in Seed St to last 2 sts, ssk. [16 sts remain]
**Row 5 (Bobble Row)**: k1, p1, MB (using Color B—carry Color A behind), work 10 sts in Seed St with Color A, MB, k1, p1.
**Row 6**: Work in Seed St as established.
**Row 7**: Work in Seed St.
**Row 8 (Decrease Row)**: k2tog, Seed St to last 2 sts, ssk. [14 sts remain]
**Rows 9-11**: Work in Seed St.
**Row 12 (Decrease Row)**: k2tog, Seed St to last 2 sts, ssk. [12 sts remain]
**Row 13 (Bobble Row)**: k4, MB, k2, MB, k4.
**Row 14**: Work in Seed St.
**Row 15**: Work in Seed St.
**Row 16 (Decrease Row)**: k2tog, Seed St to last 2 sts, ssk. [10 sts remain]
**Rows 17-19**: Work in Seed St.
**Row 20 (Decrease Row)**: k2tog, Seed St to last 2 sts, ssk. [8 sts remain]
**Row 21 (Bobble Row)**: k3, MB, k4.
**Rows 22-23**: Work in Seed St.
**Row 24 (Decrease Row)**: k2tog, Seed St to last 2 sts, ssk. [6 sts remain]
**Rows 25-27**: Work in Seed St.
**Row 28 (Decrease Row)**: k2tog, Seed St to last 2 sts, ssk. [4 sts remain]
**Row 29**: k2tog, ssk. [2 sts remain]

Fasten off.
### Bottom Surface
Using Color A, cast on 18 sts.
**Rows 1-3**: Work in Stockinette (Knit RS, Purl WS).
**Row 4 (Dec)**: k2tog, k to last 2 sts, ssk. [16 sts]
**Rows 5-7**: Stockinette.
**Row 8 (Dec)**: k2tog, k to last 2 sts, ssk. [14 sts]
Continue in this manner, decreasing 2 sts every 4th row until 4 sts remain.

### Side Gusset
Using Color A, cast on 8 sts.
**Row 1**: Sl1, k1, (p1, k1) to end.

## Assembly
1. **Block Pieces**: Lightly steam the pieces (especially the Seed St gusset) to flatten them before assembly.
2. **Attach Gusset**: Pin the Side Gusset to the Bottom Surface. The gusset should wrap around the three sides of the triangle. Using Color A and mattress stitch, sew the gusset to the bottom.
3. **Attach Top**: Pin the Top Surface to the other edge of the gusset. Ensure the bobbles are facing out. Sew around two sides.
4. **Stuffing**: Firmly stuff the scone with polyester fiberfill. You want it to hold a sharp, triangular "pastry" shape.
5. **Close**: Sew the final side of the Top Surface to the gusset.
6. **Apply Glaze**: Position the Glaze (Color C) piece on top of the scone. It should look slightly irregular. Using a whip stitch and Color C, sew it down to the Top Surface.
7. **Finishing**: Using a scrap of Color B, you may optionally embroider a few "sugar granules" or extra cinnamon spots using French Knots on top of the glaze.
Weave in all ends.
