I designed a lace tomato slice that I think looks amazingly realistic:

Cast on 6st and divide evenly among three #8 DPNs.

Row 1: (kfb) to end. 4 st per needle.
Row 2: (k1 yo k1) to end. 6 st per needle.
Row 3: (k1 kfb k1) to end. 8 st per needle.
Row 4: (k1 yo k2tog yo k2 yo ssk yo k1) to end. 10 st per needle.
Row 5: (k1 yo k1 k2tog yo k2 yo ssk k1 yo k1) to end. 12 st per needle.
Row 6: (k1 yo k1 k2tog k1 yo k2 yo k1 ssk k1 yo k1) to end. 14 st per needle.
Row 7: (k1 yo k2 k2tog k1 yo k2 yo k1 ssk k2 yo k1) to end. 16 st per needle.
Row 8: (k3 kfb k8 kfb k3) to end. 18 st per needle.

Steam block as necessary.

My godniece asked Santa for “a kid food”, which she defined as “you know, like tater tots and hamburgers”. I guess she’s tired of her godmother feeding her duck hearts and fried crickets. So her godmother is making her plushie tater tots, and I’m knitting her a hamburger.
