How-To Notes for Crochet Grilled Cheese Amigurumi

You will start crocheting the grilled cheese in rows, beginning with a chain of two stitches. For the first row, you make two single crochets in the first stitch, then chain one and turn. In the second row, you work an increase, a single crochet, chain one, and turn. You repeat this pattern until you reach row 17, where you crochet 16 single crochets and an increase.

Once row 17 is done, you add the brown crust by crocheting along the edges of the triangle. You crochet single crochets along the edges, placing three single crochets in the last stitch to form a corner. Next, you create the yellow cheese by crocheting a similar triangle and adding scalloped edges.

To create the scalloped edges, you skip two stitches, crochet five double crochets in the same stitch, and then skip two stitches again.

Finally, you add the eyes and mouth. You use black yarn and safety eyes, placing the eyes on the face and stitching the mouth with a tapestry needle. After that, you weave in the tails and trim them.
