Here we go with another round of crochet foods for my sister’s kids. They got cookies, cakes and treats last winter. They loved those but asked for “healthy food” as well to round out their roleplaying games.

I’m afraid I can’t share some of these patterns as they were not free… I can share were I purchased them from tho!

The paid patterns

• All the meat products came from: https://dailydoll.shop/product-category/digital-goods-and-services/patterns/crochet-patterns/food-crochet-patterns
• Most of the fresh produce is from a book called “Crochet Cafe” (Edame beans, strawberry, cherry, blueberries, apple, orange, avocado, corn)
