Hi everyone, this week I present to you: a free stackable amigurumi hamburger crochet pattern! I originally made a crochet pattern for a no-sew hamburger. I was super happy with that pattern, but then I remembered why I originally got this idea in the first place. One of you lovely gals requested a hamburger play food when I had my pattern survey!
So this pattern is thanks to your idea 🙂 This pattern is perfect for kids looking to build a hamburger and play with pretend food! I have a lot more food patterns that you can also use as play food. You can find them here: https://stringydingding.com/category/food/.
I hope you have fun with this pattern, if you have any questions when making it please let me know in the comments! I’m always happy to help, so please don’t hesitate. Okay, let’s get to crocheting!
• Yarn colors in size 4/Medium Yarn… Bun Color, Red, Green, Yellow, and Brown • 4mm Crochet Hook •10mm safety eyes •Tapestry needle •Scissors •Stuffing •Red or Black Embroidery Thread • Optional: Cardboard for sturdy base
Additional Information:
Difficulty: Intermediate Pattern is in US Terms
• Getting started… To make this hamburger we will first start off by making the buns. Then we will make the tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and burger! The burger uses a bean stitch, which I will show you how to do. If you prefer to not use this stitch, you can replace it with a regular single crochet.
• Note For a sturdy base of the burger we can add a piece of cardboard to the bottom. If you do this, please know that you can’t wash this toy because of the cardboard.•
Recommended Yarns:
• JoAnn Fabric’s “Big Twist” Yarn • Red Heart Super Saver Yarn • Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn!”
