Crochet Cheese Burger Bean Bag / Foot Bag Pattern

Cheeseburger Foot Bag / Bean Bag

Design by: Heather Wells

Note: You don’t have to find the exact colors I used for your cheeseburger.  There is a huge color selection of embroidery thread.  I am only providing the colors I used, in case you want the exact colors you see in my cheeseburgers.

Materials:

U.S. 1 / 2.35 mm crochet hook

Stuffing: Poly-Fil  poly -pellets for stuffing

DMC Embroidery Thread as Follows

Buns: 3 -842, and 1 ecru (optional- ecru is the lighter color at the edges)

Sesame seeds: 1 Blanc

Lettuce: 1 -3364

Tomato: 1 -321

Red Onion: 1 Blanc, 1 -209

Cheese: 1 -742

Meat: 1 -938, 1 -610 (optional- the second color is a lighter brown to give an almost grill like effect to the meat)

Helpful Hint.  you can put the toppings in any order you wish, leave toppings out etc.  Think of this project as three sections, the increase portion, the middle (11 rows), and the decrease portion.  

The increase section + 1 - 2 rnds is your top bun

8-9 rnds of toppings

1 row + decrease rnds bottom bun

You can add or take away a rnd in the middle without affecting the shape too much if you need to. Here is how much height the toppings take up

lettuce 1 rnd, tomato 2 rnds, red onion 1 rnd, cheese 1 rnd, meat 3 rnds

Add your topping rows together before making your burger if you wish to change the toppings, here are two examples

Cheeseburger Double Cheeseburger

Top Bun 1 rnd Top Bun 2 rnds

Lettuce 1 rnd Cheese 1 rnd

Tomato 2 rnds Meat 3 rnds

Red onion 1 rnd Cheese 1 rnd

Cheese 1 rnd Meat 3 rnds

Meat 3 rnds Bottom Bun 1 rnd  = 11 rnds

Lettuce 1 rnd
Bottom Bun 1 rnd= 11 rows

Body (Toppings and Meat)

If you want sesame seeds,  cut a long piece of blanc, and add some now.  I just scatter them, across the top of the bun randomly.  I weave them in with the crochet hook, but you may want to do it with a yarn needle.

  

Remember the top bun will have one or two more rows, the bottom bun will one row in this section

**If you are using ecru round 10 is in ecru, if not round 10 is still in color 842

Round  10: Ch 1, sc in each sc around. Join with a slip st to 1st sc. (54 sc)
