My youngest grandson loves playing with his play kitchen and play food so as one of his Christmas gifts I made him a crochet pizza with removable toppings.
It was a very easy pattern to follow and the pieces were made within a few days, as the pizza slices are made with a chunky yarn and also double thickness they are quite firm and keep their shape. The toppings I made in double knit yarn.
The toppings are:
Pepperoni
Olives
Pepper pieces
Tomato
Calamari or Onion rings
I also designed my own mushroom slice by making the pepper piece in beige and then slip stitching around the side until on the other side near the centre and then working a few rows to make a stalk.
To help with the overall effect I used a pizza box and covered it with plain paper and then printed a 'logo' of Freddie wearing a chef's hat.
It was an instant success and he was thrilled with it.
I didn't sew the toppings in place, I wanted them to be removable. I did try sticking velcro on the pieces to hold them on
Happy crocheting!
