Who loves breakfast food? From a simple piece of toast and a nice egg (maybe with cheese) I love breakfast foods. And with last week’s release, I had so many ideas that I couldn’t wait to make more squares. So I hope you’re excited to for this week’s Avocado Egg and Jam Toast Squares crochet patterns.
These squares are the same size and shape as last week’s Avocado Toast and Bread Squares and that’s on purpose. I wanted to make it so that you could make these into a bag (just seam them up like the Calliope Coffee Bag) or maybe scarf (Like the Wake the Dead Scarf). I actually plan to add more squares so that it could be a really fun scarf but I need to sit down and design them first. If you have some ideas for squares, feel free to drop them in the comments.
As always, I used Stitch Fiddle to design these squares and they’re worked from the bottom up in rows. And below you’re going to find some photos of the Jam on Toast Square as I was working up the design. 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 (especially the Avocado Egg Square), meaning I used separate ends of yarn for the color sections and didn’t crochet over/ carry the yarn much. There are more than a few ends to work with but, for me at least, it wasn’t a lot of work to weave them all in.
Personally I haven’t decided if I want to make a bag or a scarf with these. I am leaning on scarf because it’s getting cold and I already have quite the bag collect. Maybe I’ll make another coffee square, because what goes better with breakfast/ brunch but a cup of coffee? I think maybe next I’ll make a bowl of cereal or stack of pancakes. So may fun ideas, right?
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 😀 And as always, if you like my patterns here and would like a pdf copy (which includes the written instructions) it is available on Ravelry.
Thank you so much for visiting and genuinely, from my heart, I hope you’re well. It’s been a rough week, personally, and I like to use little designs like this to distract myself. It helps.
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 Egg and Jam Toast 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.
