Here are 3 Things I like to do with my Crochet Sushi:

1. SUSHI CROCHET MAGNET

So you may be wondering though, well, what can I do with Sushi Amigurumi? Well, a lot! I like to turn mine into cute magnets to accessorize my fridge. All you have to do is glue these magnets on with E-6000 glue and it’s instant home decor magic.

2. SUSHI CATNIP TOY

My cat, Callie, enjoys her sushi when I stuff them full of Organic Catnip. It’s a feast fit for a Queen! Cats go wild for this delectable toy treat. Remember, though, to always supervise your cat’s play.

3. SUSHI PARTY FAVORS

It’s also great for Party Favors. For awesome packaging, all you have to do is create a sushi set to your liking and place them in these clear plastic bags. Stick a customized graphic card at the top. Your guests will all be impressed by your culinary crochet skills!

That’s just some ideas for what to do with your Crochet Sushi, but I’m sure you guys can think of even more! So please enjoy the written crochet pattern below.
