Materials Needed

  • Orange (for the roe)
• Hook: 3.5mm crochet hook
• Stuffing: Fiberfill or any soft stuffing material
• Embroidery thread: Black (for the face)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Sushi Roll Base

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the white yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the base of your sushi roll.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close it.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches total). To increase, work 2 single crochets in the same stitch.
4. Round 3: (1 sc, inc) around (18 stitches total). This means you will do 1 single crochet, then increase in the next stitch, and repeat.
5. Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around (24 stitches total). Continue to follow the pattern of adding more single crochets before each increase.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this pattern until you reach a total of 48 stitches.
7. Work Even: After reaching 48 stitches, work 5 rounds without increasing or decreasing. Just single crochet in each stitch around.

Creating the Seaweed Wrap

8. Change to Black Yarn: Switch to black yarn and work 2 rounds even (48 stitches each round).

Creating the Sushi Filling

9. Switch to Pink Yarn: For the filling, create a smaller circle using the same increase pattern until you reach 24 stitches.
10. Adding Details: Use green and orange yarn to add details on top of the filling using surface slip stitches. This will represent the avocado and roe.

Finishing Touches

11. Embroider the Face: Using black yarn, embroider a cheerful smiling face on the side of the sushi roll. Make sure the eyes are closed and the smile is wide for a friendly expression.
12. Stuff the Sushi Roll: Gently stuff the main roll with fiberfill until it’s firm but not overly packed.
13. Sew the Filling: Attach the pink filling to the top of the sushi roll securely.
14. Close the Roll: Finish with a final round of decreases in black yarn to close the top of the sushi roll. This will help shape it and secure everything in place.
