I am super duper excited to share this free Sushi Pals Amigurumi sample from the book. They would make such a super cute Amigurumi Sushi Family Food Set too, don’t you think? Style it out on a plate with chopsticks, or make a whole tray of sushi! You could switch out the colors on the Maki Roll Sushi Crochet Pattern to reflect different sushi ingredients too. Line up some Fish Nigiri Sushi amigurumi and compliment it with a set of the Tamago Nigiri Sushies. So cute. We do love some Amigurumi Food!

Also – the crochet patterns are supper versatile, I reckon the Nigiri Sushi – would look adorable as in Chonky yarn too… making this a super fun Chonky Nigiri Sushi plush if you wish.

Anyway, enough chat of Salmon sushi crochet pattern and Prawn Sushi Crochet Patterns.. let’s hear about the Unofficial Harry Styles Crochet Book! And why these fun sushi patterns have been includeds.

Unofficial Harry Styles Crochet Book by Lee Sartori

First to the Harry Styles inspired crochet book by Lee Sartori! Not only will you find the adorable Japanes sushi crochet patterns, but many more ideas… Known as coco.crochet.lee on instagram, Lee Sartori is an incredibly talented, original, creative AND funny crocheter. She has a plethora of amazing crochet ideas.. including of course, this amazing book!

The wonderful thing about this crochet book, is how ecclectic it is!! You will find a number of fabulous wearable projects – the jumpers and sweater vests are amazing, but also a some quicker projects, if you want to “style up” your home with some cute little Harry Style’s makes – like the teacup and toast coasters. You can make intermediate projects, like the Watermelon bag or the sunflower bucket hat, which would make a great gift.. etc.

The book is super fun! I reckon you will want to make it all (I mean, who doesn’t want a Harry Style doll). You can grab a copy of the book on Quatro’s website or Amazon. Be sure to also follow Lee on coco.crochet.lee!

Now.. onto the free sushi crochet sample to give you a feel for the book!

How to Crochet Sushi – Free Easy Sushi Amigurumi Patterns

“Music for a Sushi Restaurant” Sushi

Designed by Lee Sartori (coco.crochet.lee)

Have you ever been sitting down at your favorite restaurant, enjoying some delicious food, when all of a sudden you clue into the music playing? I used to go to a Thai food restaurant that played what we referred to as “elevator music” of hit movie soundtracks, and when the song for Titanic would come on, we would all look at each other like, “What is happening?” It can be so funny, and if you go often enough, it becomes part of the charm! In “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” Harry Styles wanted to capture that feeling of sitting in a restaurant and cluing in to the music playing that doesn’t seem to match the vibe. It can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the mood of the place and depending on the music choice! But if I were sitting in a sushi restaurant and Harry’s song came on, I would be dancing in my seat for sure. It’s such a joyful beat and a happy vibe. To celebrate this exuberant expression of love for the music in a sushi restaurant, I created four little amigurumi sushi for you to crochet and keep with you. They are small but mighty, just like how a sushi roll with a bit of wasabi can pack a punch!

“I was in a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles with my producer and one of our songs came on from the last album, and I kind of said like, this is really strange.
