| My favorite- the banana! |
For my baby girls first Christmas 2010- I crocheted her a bunch of play food. It turned out so incredibly cute. I made her a banana, donut with pink frosting, apple, pear, fried egg and ice cream cone. The apple disappeared (which is too bad, it turned out adorable!) They've gotten played with, chewed on, stepped on, etc and look slightly ragged but still in good shape overall. I couldn't find the egg today when I went to photograph the food, but it seems to be everyone's favorite. It didn't take to long to make each food, probably less than an hour for most of them. It was a bit tedious being so small- and hard on the hands crocheting so tightly, but I was please with how they turned out. Maybe this will give someone a good idea for that young child in your life. My 3 old son enjoys them just as much as my 18 month old so they are very gender neutral! I'm not sure where I got the patterns from- they were all online for free. Ravlery.com is an amazing site for knit/crochet
I also have my SECOND linky party
here. I'd love for you to join!! Feel free to add your links!
And I'm SO excited!!! I've been featured over at Truly Lovely with the Laney sisters!! Thanks!
These are great! I am doing this (with cupcakes and biscuits for some of my son's friends for christmas. They all seem to have play kitchens so it seemed like a plan!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable. I love the name of your blog.
ReplyDeleteWow, seriously adorable. I fear I would never have the patience for these. The felt food stresses me out a bit, ha. Stopping by from Homework's linky party.
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet! Of all the things I have tried, crochet is by far the one that stumps me the most! Love they idea and they are adorable! I am visiting from Dragonfly Designs and I am a new follower!

I love them.. Sadly I can't knit at all but plan to make some felt play food for my little cousin this christmas.
ReplyDeleteYour food is much cuter than the plastic pieces I grew up with. Now I just need to learn how to crochet and have a kid!
ReplyDeleteYour crochet food is adorable. I love making crochet and knit play food and I don't have any kids to play with it.

ReplyDeleteThese are so great! I love doing this type of crochet but it hurts my hands too. But the results are worth it. Thanks so much for linking up to Finished for Friday!

ReplyDeleteOh these are so cute! You are so clever! I think that kind of crochet might be beyond me. My daughter 13yo has been making food from felt all weekend. Any food made from yarn or fabric is just too much fun, imho!
