Here we go with another round of crochet foods for my sister’s kids. They got cookies, cakes and treats last winter. They loved those but asked for “healthy food” as well to round out their roleplaying games.
I’m afraid I can’t share some of these patterns as they were not free… I can share were I purchased them from tho!
The paid patterns
- All the meat products came from: https://dailydoll.shop/product-category/digital-goods-and-services/patterns/crochet-patterns/food-crochet-patterns
- Most of the fresh produce is from a book called “Crochet Cafe” (Edame beans, strawberry, cherry, blueberries, apple, orange, avocado, corn)
The free patterns
- Milk carton and banana: https://offthebeatenhook.com/ N.B. Off the beaten hook requires you to register to get to their patterns, but then they are free.

It’s pretty relaxing tbh. If you’re ADHD like it’ll be rough at first but eventually you’ll be able to do it passively while listening to an audio book or something similar. Keeps your hands busy so you can focus on the thing you’re listening to or watching
Yep, I’m pretty sure I have ADHD and crocheting is great for occupying my hands.
