Crochet Play Food

I had made several scarves and headbands to give as gifts when I realized, crochet can be so much more than boring blankets and scarves. Everyone does those and I wanted to do something different, something interesting.

My daughter loves to watch and pretend to cook when she sees me or my husband preparing food. That’s when it struck me – I would crochet her some play food so she could “cook” along with us! I went online and couldn't believe the number of patterns that are available to make almost any food you can think of out of yarn!

I found most of these very easy to make, although it did force me to learn several new stitches such as the half double crochet, triple crochet, and front post crochet. Some of these are a bit difficult for a novice such as myself but I found that by watching a few videos on youtube, I was able to quickly get the hang of these new stitches.

Hope you enjoy the finished products. I found them to be so fun and cute - I'm definitely planning to make more!! For links to the patterns, please follow my 'Crochet - Food' board on Pinterest
