Breakfast Sausage Links

The breakfast crochet patterns are nice quick projects to work on as I rotate through some other projects which at times get more complicated. I'm working my way through a heart thtat I think I finally conquered. Don't want to declare victory to early on that one. However, the sausages were a quick break as they worked up without a challenge.

For those of you who haven't been following along I'm planning on including a crochet breakfast play set with the Valentine box this year. I'm working on some themed Valentine's projects as well but I was thinking with most of the country still shut down it is nice to have creative fun things kids can do at home that keep them busy and entertained while Mom and Dad have other things to do.

This pattern is the same pattern the sausage patty came from and you can purchase it here.

Sausage Patty

I'm continuing to alternate between making donation doll items and working on my Valentine box to mail out. I'm hoping to get this one there before the holiday. This was a nice quick project to finish off between working on a doll play set that had multiple pieces to finish. It is part of a breakfast play set Breakfast Time which you can purchase here.

I'm enjoying pulling from a variety of crochet food patterns and books I seem to have accumulated to put my crochet breakfast play set together for the holiday box. Play food is a great way to engage kids in pretend play and crochet food is a great alternative to the plastic stuff found in the stores.

I'm on to breakfast sausage links next which were more common in my house growing up than the saugage patties. The first one was a bit larger so time to move to a smaller hook and see where that takes me. I'm also hoping to finish the Lil Cutesies' set soon and be ready to move on to the next doll project.

Waffle

I was trying to decide what to include in the Valentine box this year and one choice I made was breakfast food. I like a hot breakfast on a cold day so it seemed like something fun to add for a cold February day. I started with the waffle pattern from AmiguruMe Eatswhich gave me a good starting point for the project.

The waffle is based on the waffle stitch. I made mine slightly larger than the pattern although I stayed with the suggested yarn and hook. If you are interested in adding scents to your projects this book gives you some ideas. I'm not a fan of toys that smell so I use the book strictly to make the patterns and you don't need the scents to make them work.

The pattern suggests attaching the syrup and butter to the waffle. Normally I sew on anything I can so it doesn't get lost. However, this is supposed to be play food and I thought one of the fun concepts of play is being able to do as much for yourself as possible. Leaving the syrup and butter unattached leaves it to the child to add it to the food. I've a pattern for a syrup bottle that I'm hoping to make later.
