My mom wanted to make sushi, so I decided to make some, too. =D
If you'd like to make some sushi as well, here are my five patterns (four original, one modified). Feel free to make as many as you'd like for friends and family, and please link to my blog if you like these patterns. Happy crafting!

Sushi with Filling
I like this pattern because it's more realistic in the sense that there's actually "rice" wrapped around the insides of the sushi. You can use anything you want for the sushi filling - my family likes putting egg, cucumber,
肉鬆 (
ròusōng, or dried shredded pork), and yellow pickled radish so that's what I put in mine.
To make egg, or anything flat: ch7; starting with the 2nd ch from hook, sc across (6).
To make cucumber, pickled radish, or anything that's slightly chunkier: ch7; starting with the 2nd ch from hook, sc into each of the back bumps of the chain (6).
To make
肉鬆 or anything thinner: ch7; starting with 2nd ch from hook, sl st into each of the back bumps of the chain (6).
For each topping, fasten off leaving a short tail. Knot the starting and ending tails together, and then weave the ends into the middle of the topping (these will be hidden in the middle of the sushi).
