Cute Crocheted Food

Cute Crocheted Food is a quirky collection of 24 amigurumi crocheted vegetables, fruit, nibbles and snacks offering a whole menu of delicious, zany fun. Making use of the Japanese amigurumi technique to sculpt robust shapes with yarn, every piece of food becomes a cute and whimsical character.

Charming, embroidered faces with a variety of expressions can be included to add personality, or leave them off for a more realistic effect. For health food fans, there is an array of wholesome fruit and vegetables, while those who like to indulge can recreate a variety of sweet treats and fast food snacks.

Perfect for stimulating children's imaginary play, these little foodie friends will be at home in any play kitchen, café or restaurant. Projects include: peas, carrot, watermelon, hot dog, burger, avocado, sushi, pizza, cupcakes, ice-cream cones, ice lollies, fries and bananas.
