Crochet A Waffle Friend! What?!

Elisa Lawless

The other day I was working on a waffle stitch blanket and it made me wonder if anyone had used that stitch to make a waffle person. Immediately, I went off to search for a pattern to make my children and I couldn’t find one.

That is how Brekky the Waffle person came to be.

After making his body, I realized it needed arms and legs but not just plain ones. It needed fun ones, so I made the utensils. When I was done, I showed my family and they asked why it was naked, so that inspired the egg shorts.

I used worsted weight yarn to make Brekky however you could easily use dk or a bulky yarn to make it bigger or smaller. I hope you enjoy making this pattern and will share it so I can see yours.

Hello. My name is Elisa. I am a mother of three children. I spend most of my time at home with them. I love crocheting, baking, and cooking. I design lots of crochet items but blankets are my favorite. It is time consuming but I love the feeling of accomplishment after it is done. A lot of my blanket designs are inspired by gifts for people I know. When I am not crocheting, I spend a lot of time in he kitchen teaching my kids how to cook and bake. They are learning a lot, even when I am covered in flour. You can follow me @llamaunraveled on Instagram to see more of my creations.
