I like to crochet food. It’s always an experience when your yarn craft project gives you the munchies! By request a few years ago, I was asked to create some little plush sushi rolls. Later I made a smaller set and Asian-style cup of matcha, which is a high-grade Japanese ceremony tea… I kept diligent notes when I worked up these cute little foods, thus Sushi Madness was born!

This pattern gives you the instructions to crochet two types of sushi rolls- Nori wrapped or Rice rolled as well as color combinations for 6 different sushi roll “flavors:”

• California Roll- either rice rolled or nori outer
• Veggie California Roll
• Tuna Roll
• Crab Roll
• Avocado Roll

The pattern also gives instruction for a small, handle-less cup of matcha (which you could replace to make sake or other teas and beverages).

This pattern is rated as Easy. Sushi Madness is suitable for beginners.
