Bring cheesy goodness to your holiday decor with this ornament design that looks like a slice of pizza! Designed by Michele Wilcox, it will make a fun crochet Christmas tree ornament for pizza lovers or anyone who adores bizarre holiday decorations. Surprise your family and friends by making this funny ornament inspired by an Italian favorite snack!
Yarn and Hook Recommendations
When using medium-weight yarn and a 3.75 mm crochet hook, this pattern allows you to create a charming pizza slice ornament measuring approximately 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) in height.
The designer chose Red Heart Super Saver to crochet it, but any other yarn will work just as great. Moreover, the pepperoni details require very small bits of yarn, so you can easily craft them with scraps.
How To Crochet Your Pizza Ornament
This crochet pizza slice ornament is made up of 7 different parts, including crust, cheese, and 5 pieces of pepperoni. Each piece is worked separately and then sewn together.
First, you will work the slice in rows, starting from the tip and finishing with a pizzazz crust edge. The cheese section is done in a very similar way, while the pepperoni pieces need just a chain and one row of half double crochets to complete.
The pattern suggests using gold ribbon as a hanger so you can easily use it as a funny Christmas tree decoration.
Can I Use This Pattern For Keychains Or Bag Charms?
Yes! You can easily adapt this crochet Christmas ornament to make it a keychain. For this, try using a thinner yarn, for example fingering or sport-weight one, and a smaller hook. This will help you create a miniature pizza slice perfect for attaching to your keys or bag.
