12 Weeks of Christmas: Snowbound Slice of Pizza Ornament – Crochet Pattern
The holidays are around the corner, and nothing quite says “holiday season” like comfort food! If you’re a pizza lover or have one on your Christmas gift list this year, this amigurumi Pizza ornament is a unique and cute way to make the tree a bit more festive! And this pattern is quick and easy, so it will leave plenty of time for you to catch up on shopping, cooking, prepping, etc. for your holiday plans!
Why Pizza, you might ask? Well, the obvious answer is that pizza is my all-time favorite food, so of course it was bound to make an appearance in this series of patterns sooner or later! And since there are so many fellow pizza lovers out there, I figured they may want to see a way to add some “extra cheese” to their tree this year!
Pin it for later!
I’ve always felt that pizza is associated with lots of festive feelings, too. When I think of pizza, I think of party foods, kicking back with people I love, and enjoying a delicious and effortless meal. So why not bring all those fuzzy feelings to your Christmas tree this year?!
I managed to find some great yarn for this project! It’s sturdy, colorful, and gets the job done quickly on this pattern! I used Red Heart With Love in Tan for the crust (on Amazon HERE
And I’ll give you a hint as to what the “Snowbound” part of the title of this pattern refers to: I live in Upstate NY! I know there will be many instances this winter of eating pizza while snowed in within my household, so I think the name is quite catchy and apropos!
So who’s ready to bake up some holiday goodness with this pizza ornament? Then let’s go!

Melissa…this is soooo cute. Any suggestions on if/how it could be made into a garland? Thanks

Thank you so much, Dede!!! It would actually make a great garland, I’ve made it into garland before! 😀 I would recommend sewing 4-5 inches worth of yarn (or chains that equal that length) between each Pizza! Then you could make small loops on either edge of the garland to hang the Pizzas. Hope that helps! Good luck and Happy Crocheting! Melissa 🙂

Hi Melissa. I have all my pizzas made and have been working on making them into a garland but I’m not having much luck. I tried it with a chain but didn’t really care for that look. I would rather sew them but I’m not really clear on how you sewed yours. Can you elaborate on that for me? I’m sorry….I’m more of a visual person and I’m just not picturing it. Thanks DeDe

Hi DeDe! Glad to hear you are done with your pizzas, but sorry to hear about the issues you’re having with assembling the garland! I can definitely elaborate on what I did to sew my garland together! Unfortunately I have no photos of the process, but essentially I threaded a yarn needle with the pizza cheese color, began at the “sauce” (red) of one pizza, sewed through a stitch a few times, cut the other end of my yarn and threaded the needle at that end, and repeated the sewing process on the same area of the next pizza. Then I just repeated that and wove in all the ends when I was done. My yarn in between the pizzas was about 2-3″. I hope that helps! If you have any more questions, please feel free to let me know here or email me at craftykittycrochet@gmail.com 🙂
