A reader requested additional sandwich patterns, and I really couldn’t wait to get to them! These are so much fun to make because they’re super cute, and if they’re not perfect, it’s okay. After all, you want the peanut butter to look like you quickly spread it on the bread, so it’s not a perfect rectangle. Eggs aren’t circular and the yolks of a fried egg aren’t always in the center. So feel free to mess them up a little bit to make them more realistic!
I’ve included patterns for peanut butter and jelly, bologna, American cheese, and fried egg. In addition, you can find the patterns for the bread and bacon, lettuce and tomato here.
I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did!
Gauge is not important for these projects. I used an I hook (5.5 mm) for all of them. I like the sandwich ingredients to stick out of the bread on the sides a little bit. If you’d like to neatly fit on the bread, I’d use an H hook.

Peanut Butter & Jelly (they both use the same pattern)
- Worsted weight yarn. I used Vanna’s Choice Deep Gold for the peanut butter. Cascade Yarns Avalon in Crown Jewel for the grape jelly. And some leftover red yarn with a strand Vanna’s Glamour in Ruby Red for the strawberry jelly. This one was my favorite, because the sparkly yarn looks like strawberry seeds!

You’ll need to know how to SC 2 together for this pattern. It’s super easy. Here is a quick video to show you how.

I tried a couple of different ways to crochet in the round for this, and a continuous circle or spiral worked best. You’ll be marking your first stitch in each round with a stitch marker so you know when you’ve completed that round.
