Introduction
I learned to crochet when I was about nine years old. Ive been crocheting for myself
ever since: bags, scarves, tops. It is only when I became a mother that I started to
crochet for someone else rather than myself my girls. First, blankets, then hats,
sweaters and finally toys. Thats how this book was born.
Inside you will find patterns for the most common fruits and vegetables. These projects
are very quick and are a great way to use up yarn leftovers. If you and your kids love
their new play food, be sure to check my other Crochet Food book, where you will find
everything from breakfast eggs to cakes and tea sets.
