Supplies
Vanna's Choice yarn in 4 colors. I used Mustard (9 skeins), Rust (4 skeins), Toffee (2 skeins) and Brick (1 skein).
N/P 10.0mm
H/8 5.00mm
The cheese and sauce part of the blanket is crocheted with 3 strands of yarn held together. I find it a lot easier when working with multiple strands to find the center pull of a skein. You could also wind your skein into a cake to get a center pull. This seems to prevent the yarn from rolling all over the place and creating a tangled mess.
Round 1: Using N/P 10.0mm hook with 2 strands of mustard and 1 strand of rust, ch. 2 and work 10 hdc into a magic ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your first hdc.
Round 2: Ch. 2, 2 hdc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of your first hdc — 20
Round 3: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 30
Round 4: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 2, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 40
Round 5: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 3, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 50
Round 6: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 4, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 60
Round 7: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 5, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 70
Round 8: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 6, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 80
Hopefully you are starting to see a pattern by now for increasing each round. Continue to increase each round following the pattern until you have a total of 28 rounds. Fasten off after the last round.
Crust
Join 2 strands of toffee to any stitch along the last round.
Round 29: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 27, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 290
Round 30: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 28, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join — 300
Round 31: Ch. 2, (hdc in the next 29, 2 hdc in the next), repeat around, join and fasten off — 310
Fold the crust up towards you and the front of your work. Using a tapestry needle and a long strand of rust, sew the edge of the crust to the base of the first round of the crust. I used one massively long strand of rust to sew the crust, but in retrospect, it would probably be easier to use shorter strands because it started to tangle the further along I sewed.
Pepperoni
With an H-hook and brick color yarn
Work 6 sc into magic ring, join to the first sc
Round 1: Ch. 1, 2 sc in each stitch around, join — 12
Round 2: Ch. 1, (sc in the next, 2 sc in the next) around, join — 18
Round 3: Ch. 1, (sc in the next 2, 2 sc in the next) around, join — 24
Round 4: Ch. 1, (sc in the next 3, 2 sc in the next) around, join — 30
After the last round, fasten off the yarn and leave a long tail for sewing to the blanket.
You can make as many pieces of pepperoni as desired. My blanket has 20 pieces.
