I've collected 40 crochet food patterns and broken them into categories for you - it's the biggest roundup I've done to date! Mix and match and you'll have a yummy basket of goodies to please any kid, or kid at heart!
Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links.
Amigurumi patterns are always fun to make, and crochet food items are particularly popular. They also make great gifts - especially for a small child who's ready for their own toy kitchen. This roundup was originally put together in 2013, so lots of the links have changed and been updated, and some of the patterns pictured are no longer available. But I've gone through all of them as of August 2025 and updated with new links and patterns, so you still have 40 fabulous free crochet food patterns to make below!
One important note before you start - amigurumi and crocheted playthings with small parts should not be given to children under the age of 3! Better safe than sorry! Now let's dive in!

Thank you for all these wonderful food stuff patterns. I have lots of littles in my life who play food prep all the time and these patterns will be so welcome in their little toy boxes.
Tamara Kelly says
You're very welcome Lynda! They're lucky to have you to craft for them!
sheila says
i'd like to get more of the patterns, but the links seem to be unavailable.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Sheila! Which link(s) aren't working? Some sites may have moved or gone down since I first posted this roundup.
Sheila says
it's the movie and munchies (popcorn) one, the S'mores ones... if you have another of those same patterns, could you let me know please? thanks.
Tamara Kelly says
I was able to replace the Smores, but I haven't been able to find another popcorn pattern I'm afraid.
Wendy Wilken says
The tea set is a dead link now too.
Tamara Kelly says
Thanks Wendy, it should be fixed now!
cATlady says
Under "meat and eggs", link #7 Cheeseburger by Dena Ziegler doesn't go to a pattern, but to a magazine subscription site.
Tamara Kelly says
Whoops, thanks for letting me know, I'll see what's up right now! 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
Ok, all fixed! 🙂
Catlady says
Thanks 🙂 It is cute!!
Catlady says
Found another.... Under Sweets, number 9, strawberry shortcake. Google found it for me, though --
either http://www.4crafter.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=75810 Or http://crochetcakesachets.weebly.com/strawberry-sponge-cake-crochet-pattern.html has the pattern 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you!! 🙂

Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thank you so much Karla!
Ruth says
Thank you for compiling all these patterns in one location! So excited to get started! I just finished your Rainbow Mandala blanket for my baby and these food items are next on my agenda 🙂 However, the Lemon and Likes link under Fruits and Veggies no longer works.

Diana Jackson says
Do you have any "restra de chile" pattetns. I'm having a hard time finding just the right one.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Diana! I'm afraid I don't know what a restra de chile pattern is and google isn't helping. Can you give me the English translation?
Debbie says
The carrot link is to a paid pattern, not free.
Tamara Kelly says
Ah, looks like I need to update that one - thank you for letting me know! There's now a free carrot pattern linked as well!
Jo says
Lettuce leaf pattern link is not working, I couldn’t find it on her site either by searching. But thanks for the list, great stash buster. Guess I will make some watermelon with my green instead 🙂
