Saeed The Samosa

"Looking for a free crochet food pattern?! Try your hand at this cute Tunisian crochet Samosa pattern with a full video tutorial! If you’re looking for free crochet food patterns, you are in the right place! Although I have made other types of crochet amigurumi patterns before, I have never really designed any amigurumi food crochet patterns. That’s why I am super excited to be sharing this free Tunisian crochet pattern with you all! Make sure you check out this super cute crochet food pattern for Saeed the Samosa I have always been intimidated by crochet food amigurumi but I just couldn’t help myself with this idea! Ramadan has officially started and one tradition that really takes me back is preparing Samosas the same way my mom used to in preparation for Ramadan so we could enjoy them when we break our fast. That’s why I decided to make a fun pattern out of this simple Tunisian Crochet Samosa pattern and hence Saeed the Samosa was born! Saeed means happy in Arabic and this little guy certainly makes me happy so I thought it would be a perfect name for him! When I started writing this post I searched to see if a Samosa had already been shared as part of any crochet food toys free patterns and I couldn’t find one in Tunisian crochet. This is the perfect pattern to get started with Tunisian simple stitch!"
