Avocado Toast Crochet Pattern

Did you know that I really got my start crocheting with little fruits and vegetables? Yes, my first project was the little blue ball- but I grew my skills by making little produce pals! From blueberries to pumpkins and everything in between- I even crocheted a dragonfruit (don’t worry, that pattern is coming soon!). So when the idea to crochet my way through the ABC’s struck, I knew it simply had to be with foods!

So today we start our alphabet journey through the delights of crocheted cuisine! And we are starting out with a wildly popular item, though it seams you either love it or you hate it! Avocado Toast.

Grown primarily in California here in the US (though they were first planted in Florida in the 1800’s), this superfood got it’s “artistic” debut when it was paired with a sturdy slice of toast and some microgreens- and “avocado toast” was born.

This crocheted tribute to the heart-healthy fad consists of several pieces sewn together to create a piece worthy of any play kitchen! But why am I still going on and on? Let’s get to crocheting!

Stitch Instructions 

Single Crochet in the Back Bumps 

When you look at a chain stitch there are three loops. One is the “back loop”, one is the “front loop” and, if you turn the chain over, you will see the third loops, known as the “back bump”. To SC in the back bump, simply insert your hook into that loop and SC as normal. The benefit to this technique is that is creates a lovely finished edge to your piece. See the photos below to see what I mean.

Finish off and weave your ends!
