Toast with Jam

Toast is a fairly common crochet food pattern. You can easily adapt any bread patern. I chose this one from Kawaii Crochetbecause I liked the added jam. It added a little extra fun to the pretend play intention I have for this play set.

My plan is for practical play. I haven't added the eyes and other decorative items because I want this to be like traditional play food. I also haven't sewed the syrup, butter or in this case jam to the various play food items because while it risks them getting lost I'm hoping it adds some play experience as the kids can decide do I want butter or jam on my toast.

I'm coming to realize this breakfast is a work in progress. There are many items I'd like to add that won't make it to the Valentine's box. However, St. Patrick's Day wouldn't be a bad time to continuing to add to the food collection. We shall see what happens.

Crochet Toast

While it may appear there is an organized breakfast theme going on here, the toast came to be when I realized there was not enough of the off white to finish a sandwich I hoped to make. I had enough for about a slice and a half of bread, not two slices, since each slice is a double thickness. I looked at the bread and the egg and realized I had toast and an egg. This seemed like a perfect breakfast combo. It also gave me the chance to practice the pattern before moving on to making four of the same item that would need to be the same size. I do find it challenging to stay consistent.




This is another pattern I tried from Tasty Crochet: A Pantry Full of Patterns for 33 Tasty Treats. This has been a great resource for fun food projects. I used a birthday gift card to purchase more yarn, so I will get to the sandwich soon. I like the idea that the sandwich pattern has details like the tomato. You can expect more cooking crochet posts this week as I have been on a quest to meet my Christmas request.
