✏️ Things To Note:
- Marbled Cheese Effect. I double-stranded two worsted weight skeins (yellow and white) to create the marbled cheese effect for my pizza blanket crochet pattern. You can also use blanket yarn; just be sure to use a larger hook (like an S or 19mm) if you choose to marble two strands of blanket yarn.
- Adjustable Stitch Count. I started with 10 double crochet stitches, but some prefer to begin with 12 double crochets and increase in 12s for flat circles. This pattern is quite adjustable, so feel free to customize based on your preference and tension.
- Finished Size. The finished size of the pizza blanket crochet pattern is approximately 52” by 52”, making it large enough to be a throw blanket. If you’d like a bigger blanket, buy more yarn than what is suggested below.
🪡 Materials Needed
- 1 skein of Caron 1 lb white yarn
- 1 skein of Caron 1 lb yellow yarn
- 1 skein of Caron 1 lb claret yarn (split into 2 balls)
- 1 skein of Caron 1 lb red yarn (a small amount is only needed)
- 2 skeins Red Heart With Love tan yarn
- 1 6.5mm hook

💭Abbreviations to Remember (US terms)
- Magic Ring - mr
- Chain - ch
- Slip Stitch - sl st

- Increase - inc (because there is no single crochet in this pattern increase will only refer to a double crochet increase)
- Crab Stitch - no abbreviation
🧋Variations
- You can easily switch to blanket yarn for a more plush look for the pizza blanket crochet pattern. Adjusting the overall size of the blanket and pepperonis is fairly simple.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try making different types of pizza toppings! Use light brown yarn, double-stranded, to create mushroom slices using my crochet mushroom applique pattern.

🐌Expert Tips
- Sewing on Pepperonis: To prevent the blanket from puckering, do not pull too tightly on the sewing yarn. Instead, pull until just snug, and secure the pepperoni only with yarn that is underneath it when it’s lying flat. Avoid stretching the pepperoni while sewing them on.
- Add Extra Warmth: If you want the blanket to be even warmer, consider adding a layer of fleece backing to it for extra coziness.
- Test Gauge: Always check your gauge before starting to ensure your blanket will be the intended size, especially if using a different yarn type.
🧵Pattern FAQs
Absolutely! If using only one strand of blanket yarn, follow the pattern as written. If using two strands, you'll need to adjust your hook size and overall rounds to make the blanket.
I suggest using a 5mm hook and doing nearly twice as many rows to achieve the same size and look.
Keep increasing every row by 10 double crochets to achieve the desired size.
