BLT Sandwich – Free Crochet Pattern

I have always loved fake food! I don’t know what it is, but it just makes me smile! Last year, I used my very basic sewing skills to make felt pasta, vegetables, and spaghetti sauce. This year, I decided to crochet a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich! This was a lot of fun to make, and the whole sandwich can be completed in 2-3 hours using inexpensive yarn, making it a perfect gift for the little ones in your life!

Gauge is not important for these projects. I used a small hook when I wanted the piece to be more rigid…like the tomato.

Abbreviations

• CH = chain
• DC = double crochet
• SK = skip
• SC = single crochet
• ST = stitch
• SS = slip stitch
• CH-SP = chain space
• PM = place marker
• HDC = half double crochet

Bread

Each slice of bread took me approximately 30 minutes.

I used 3 different yarns so they could pretend that it’s white, wheat, toast or multi-grain. These are all Lily’s Sugar ‘N Cream. I used Soft Ecru, Warm Brown, Jute and Sonoma Print.   Any worsted weight yarn will work.

Size I Crochet Hook (5.5 mm)

Yarn needle to weave in ends

• 7 SC on side +1 in the hole just before the DC

Change colors. Attach in the center SC in one of the bottom corners. 3 SC in the first ST. SC in each SC around, putting 3 SC in the other bottom corner. SS to 1^st SC.
