Making A Waffle Toy

[fc1123]

Well the other day my daughter Hannah saw me do a new stitch called the waffle stitch boy does it ever require concentration well anyways she said I should crochet her a waffle and let her put fake butter on it and eat it I know she was only kidding but I was wondering do you think I should make an ami waffle haven't seen a pattern for it unless someone here has and if not I am going to go ahead and make up a pattern for a waffle. Opinions please

I say go for it, fc1123! I have no idea whether or not there's a waffle pattern with butter pat out there. I don't see one listed under foods at Crochet Pattern Central - I have read that folks make lots of different crochet foods for their kiddos to play with. Please show us your finished batch, should you decide to make a stack!

I've decided why not haven't figured out what hook to use yet though start with an h hook then use an I hook to finish still debating the size

measure a real waffel and make it real size. lol I'd love to see this when it's done.. you can even use brown yarn to simulate Syrup!

Great ideas you have I never thought of measuring a waffle I will have to do that and your right about using brown yarn to simulate syrup . Thanks now I just need to pick out my yarn and away I go. Silly thing is I don't know what color a waffle is

I would use a tan or buff color for the waffle. I hope you can work it out. Now I am craving waffles. I don't have my waffle iron anymore.

thanks now I have to get the yarn

Eggo waffles are more on the yellowish side. not a regular yellow. more subdued.

 

my son loves play food.

 

do you have a link to the stitch? i'd like to see it.

RH has a cornmeal color yarn that would make a tasty looking waffle. It's stiffer too. no-one wants a floppy waffle!

here's the stitch I am talking abouthttp:///www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80986AD.html?noImages=

Well I'm going to try and get the yarn today and I will finally start the pattern wish me luck. This will be my first time creating a toy. Yeah for me and a new adventure

[leaette]

that is a really pretty stitch! i'm going to have to try it and yes! it will look great as a waffle play food.

i'll think you'll do just fine. doing a pat of butter would be easy. just do a few chains and a few rows of SC in a bright yellow.

I think it will make a great play food waffle! I think what I would do is to make two of them and then sew them together back to back. That will give it that much more body. Real waffles are thicker than a crocheted piece anyway, so sewing two pieces back to back won't just give it more body, it will make it more realistic, IMO.

 

There is a person over on Ravelry who has WONDERFUL crocheted and knitted food! I can't think of her name right now, but if you get over there, do a search under toys and you'll find her stuff. I think she sells her patterns for it on Etsy, too. Just AMAZINGLY beautiful stuff! Makes me want to really eat it!

[fc1123]

Yeah I'm going to go for it going to get the yarn tomorrow. Tonight watching my daughter Elizabeth test for her yellow belt with stripes for tae kwan do

[fc1123]

Well I have the yarn I went onto ravelry and somebody already beat me to it. The person created a waffle with butter and syrup oh well I will still make it but I just can't create the pattern because it already has been created
