Spam musubi is a popular Asian comfort food. Crochet your own cute and quick musubi with this fun amigurumi pattern! Complete with layered rice, spam, and seaweed.
The rice part is designed using tight single crochet stitches and constructed in a way that looks like a box with a flap lid; the seaweed was made using double crochet stitches, and the spam was made using single crochet stitches like the rice part.
This design is perfect for food lovers, kawaii fans, for small gifts, playful desk buddies, great for keychains, and food-themed décor or gifts.
