At long last, you can enjoy your very own slice of knit pizza!
Now, this is my very first pattern, so if there are any errors or confusing bits, please let me know and I’ll do my best to clarify. In addition, I would appreciate it greatly if you would only make these for yourself and your friends, without selling the finished product or pattern, seeing as it came from the vapid expanses of my own head. …So what are you waiting for, get knitting!

To make up the crust, fold over the top of the triangle you just knit, aligning sides so that the increases and decreases match. Hand-sew this flap down, WS facing (the bottom of your pizza will have the smooth side of the stockinet stitch, and all of the bumpy side will eventually be covered by the other pieces.)
Sauce / Cheese
To achieve the correct coloration, please refer to the color chart below for the first four rows, continuing in yellow after it is completed.

Switching over to US #4 needles for the toppings, in a light cream yarn, CO 2
Row 1 and all other odd rows: P
Row 2: K
Row 4: Kfb, kfb
Row 6: Kfb, k2, kfb
Row 8: K
Row 10: P2tog, p2, p2tog
BO
With darker brown yarn, hand-embroider the details of the bottom of the mushroom cap, referring to the photo if necessary.
Onion
In white yarn, CO 16
Row 1: K2tog across
BO
*For alternate toppings, the technique for the onion can easily make peppers, using either green or red yarn instead of the white.
To assemble: First, weave in ends on all the toppings and sew them securely to the cheese piece in whatever arrangement pleases you. Then smooth out the sides of the sauce / cheese piece (the edges will want to curl, as with any piece knit in stockinet) and align the sides evenly with that of your crust. With WS together, (both RS’s should be outwards and visible) whip stitch the edges together with the crust color, and be sure to also sew down the top part near the folded edge of the crust. Tie tight, and hide the ends underneath the cheese.
Enjoy, but don’t eat!
*Or, go share a slice and see the pizza that other crafty bloggers knit up at…
