This pillow looking like a stuffed pizza would make a great gift for the teen in your life, especially boys. The pie is made from two crochet rounds that are then crocheted together. The crust edging is then crocheted onto the rounds, stuffed and sewn down. The pizza ingredients include mushrooms, pepperoni, and green pepper slices that are crocheted separately and sewn to the pillow front. The “cheese” is embroidered straight stitches.
