I absolutely love textile toys for my own boys. They aren’t hard like wooden toys which can break other things if thrown. They are far more durable than plastic. They are washable, at least they are with the materials I choose. And they are practically 100% child safe.
When searching for a play set for building sandwiches I ran into a bit of trouble finding what I wanted. There was not a single pattern that had all the parts I wanted. Not to mention when looking for a free pattern for a crochet sandwich play set I felt very limited. When I tried putting different patterns together, the end result pieces didn’t fit well, as in a lettuce might have been huge and hung over the side of the bread. I also found that everyone seemed to have the exact same pattern for parts like the bread, so I adjusted my other pieces to fit with that universal bread pattern.
My boys like to split the sandwich play set in half to make a BLT on white and a ham, egg, and cheese on toast.
There are so many free play food patterns out there and some of them are very similar. Some are very different. Some use different yarn weights and hook sizes for the very same set. I just wanted to make a sandwich set where all the pieces fit together nicely. I figured out a complete set for myself using a single brand of yarn and the same hook for all pieces. I’d like to share it with you.

Stitches used in American terminology:
MR – magic ring
St – stitch
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
dc – double crochet
tc – triple crochet
sl st – slip stitch

I used worsted weight yarn and a 3.0 mm. Use whatever yarn and hook that works for you. Gauge doesn’t matter for this project. There are times I use [ … ] to group stitches. This is how I personally keep track of where I am in long and unusual rounds. I hope you find it useful too.
