My Crochet Kitchen: Spaghetti 2 Ways

The My Crochet Kitchen: Pasta Dishes set was designed not only to **look amazing**, but also to help your little chef **learn** about a few classic Italian pasta dishes! This pasta dish is all about **spaghetti**! You’ll be able to make **2 classic dishes** with this pattern: **spaghetti with meatballs** and **spaghetti alla Puttanesca**. Other dishes in the set include ravioli with butternut squash and crispy fried sage; linguine gamberi e limone; and tagliatelle all’Alfredo. I have kept the dishes very simple and the play pieces relatively large for **ease of handling and safety** – as well as for the sake of sanity when it comes to tidying up! I’ve included a basic **‘recipe’** before the pattern itself, listing all the necessary ingredients. The individual items can, of course, be mixed and matched at will, but I hope that this play food will support you in feeding your child’s curiosity about how to follow a recipe; combine different elements into a meal; and maybe even delve into the history of each dish’s origins. Certain items are crocheted in **continuous rounds**, while others are worked **flat in rows**. Instructions for each individual element will let you know which construction method you’ll use, and there’s a **photo guide** to help demonstrate each stage too. You’ll need **approx. 50g (120m)** of yarn in total, and your finished ingredients should measure between 5cm (parsley) and 30cm (spaghetti), depending on your tension and chosen yarn.
