Crochet Breakfast

Now available as a free download

As promised, I am posting my pattern for breakfast food. This time, instead of using acrylic yarn as I usually do, I used some of my huge stash of cotton yarn (I have an uncontrollable urge to constantly buy cotton yarn). I definitely like the way it worked for this project, but I had to squelch the urge to turn the toast into a washcloth …hmm, if only I could figure out a way to make bacon soap to go with it =) Anyway, the pattern:

Items needed:

• 2 shades of worsted weight brown yarn (1 light and 1 dark)
• Yellow Yarn (worsted weight)
• White yarn (worsted weight)
• Size “E” crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker (to mark end of rounds)

Abbreviations:

• Ch: Chain
• Dec: Decrease
• Inc: Increase
• Sc: Single crochet

Rows: 4, 6, 7,9, 10, 12, 13, 15: Dec, sc 2, inc, ch 1 and turn
Rows: 5, 8, 11, 14: Inc, sc 2, dec, ch 1 and turn

To add the “white” of the bacon, you are going to make a crochet chain on the bacon. To do this, insert your hook into the bacon, pull a strand of yarn through. From there, leaving the yarn looped over your hook, repeat. Now you should have two loops on your hook, pull the second loop (the one closest to the hook) through the first. Continue this in a squiggly pattern until you reach the other end. Repeat on the other edge.
