This is another crochet food set, this time with a picnic basket. This is a cute one to make to donate to a preschool class. The bunches of grapes are especially adorable.

Acorn Bag Free Crochet Pattern
Another fall decor item that many people crochet is acorns. Although most people don't eat acorns, they can indeed be used as food. This free crochet pattern is for a purse that looks like an acorn. Although we usually think of nuts as their own food category, they do fall into the fruit food group.

Felted Crochet Eggplant Pattern
Eggplant is a great food to eat, and it is a creative food to crochet. That perfect purple color makes it so much fun to work up in yarn. Little Wendy Crochet has created this felted amigurumi pattern (called Aubergine) for sale through Ravelry. This one can be used for decor or for children's food playsets.

Little Pumpkin Free Crochet Pattern
Another great Thanksgiving decoration that is also a yummy vegetable is the pumpkin. We see people crocheting these all throughout the fall, especially around Halloween, and it's a food that can really inspire us in any season.
Amigurumi Strawberry Free Crochet Pattern
Strawberries are another popular fruit to crochet, perhaps because they are the kind of food that makes everyone happy just to look at. These sweet treats are yummy symbols of summer but they are delicious yarn decor throughout the year. This free crochet pattern is by Jenni Designs.
Amigurumi Oranges Free Crochet Pattern
One cute idea for crochet food is to make yourself a fruit bowl for decoration. This can be displayed on coffee tables or in the kitchen. You can make all of the fruit one type, such as the oranges displayed in this pattern by Tisha LeBreton, or you could make a bowl of all different types of fruits.

Crochet Cactus Coasters Free Pattern
While most of the crochet cactus patterns on this list are amigurumi-style, this one has a different approach. It's a set of crochet coasters, so the cactus is really just a green circle crochet in the round and decorated with white embroidery stitches for thorns. However, you'll then add a tiny three dimensional crochet flower to the top of each coaster. When you stand them up inside of the pot that you crochet, they look three-dimensional as though you've worked with amigurumi. None of the stuffing, all of the design flair.
