Learn to make the fun and colorful Avocado Toast and Bread Squares from free crochet graphs

Happy November friends! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween season. I know that many people are searching out Winter/ Christmas designs because that time of year is coming up but you know me, I am terrible at staying on theme/ topic. Instead, I decided to put out some new squares – the Avocado Toast and Bread Squares.

Back in May I released the fun and silly Sunny Side Up Squares and I was surprised how much of a hit they were. I mean, I liked them, but I didn’t know how others would respond. I’ve always been on for silly designs and I accept they don’t always land with other people and so when people do like my odd releases (egg squares, so random) I don’t know how to follow it up. I knew I wanted to make more food/ breakfast designs but haven’t had the time (and if we’re being honest, the motivation) to design them. Until now 😀

Using Stitch Fiddle I designed these squares to work from the bottom up in rows. I wanted to build on the breakfast idea but expanded it with avocado toast and bread. I thought the bread would be particularly fun if you wanted to add your own toppings (puffy paint butter would be amazing, don’t you think?). But I’m also going to expand these designs with some jam and a avocado toast egg combo that will be out sometime this month.

Below you’re going to find some photos of the Jam on Toast Square (because I forgot to take wip photos of these squares but the technique is the same). I included them so you can get a bit more insight into how I like to work my squares. I primarily used intarsia for these squares, meaning I used separate ends of yarn for the color sections and didn’t crochet over/ carry the yarn much. Unfortunately, that means for the Avocado Toast square there were lots of ends. But weaving in and blocking helps to keep the square nice 🙂

Anyway, I hope you like this week’s new release. I had so much fun designing these and I hope that people like them. If you do you and you’d like to see more breakfast ideas, please let me know in the comments 😀
Thank you so much for visiting and happy November. Take care of yourselves <3 <3

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by We Crochet with no real purpose, just to make something fun and without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I’ve used Brava Worsted many times over the years and it’s fantastic. A great worsted weight yarn, I love it.

Notes on carrying yarn on the Avocado Toast and Bread Squares crochet pattern

For yarn conservation and clarity purposes, almost all the colors are not carried throughout the squares. Instead I used “bobbins” or individual stands of color for the other color or colors for all the squares.

Below are 2 close up photos of the Jam On Toast Square showing all the colors being used separately with separate strands of yarn, it’s the same technique I used for this pattern. If you’d like to carry the yarn (tbh I don’t suggest it for the best results), I do highly suggest while carrying the inactive yarn with the RS facing, make sure it’s behind the previous row’s stitches. And when carrying the inactive yarn with the WS facing, make sure it’s in front of the previous row’s stitches. Don’t pull the carried yarn too tight or let it hang loose (try to keep it even
with the stitches), as it can distort your square’s final look. Blocking may help even
out some distortion or bulkiness of the center that may occur.

Remember: Your squares may not be perfectly square when you’re done, but the border and blocking (which is highly suggested) can help this. The seaming can also even out some size inconsistency.
