Finishing

When you have finished all your desired toppings, sew them to the cheese/sauce piece.
Sew in ends.

Next, you need to crochet together the crust & the cheese/sauce. To do so, hold the Crust & the Cheese/Sauce with the wrong sides facing each other.

Using Tan:

With the cheese/sauce facing you, join yarn with a sl st in any space. Keep in mind, your pot holder hanger will be worked in this space at the end of the row.

Make sure you are working through all 4 loops as you go.

Ch 1, sc in same and in each sp around. Join with sl st. Turn so the crust side is facing you. [Ch 8, sl st to the open sp to the left], Ch 1, turn, work 14 sc over the ch, sl st into the same sp as the ch 8.

 Fasten off and sew in ends, I like to use one of the ends to help make sure the loop isn't too floppy by sewing through the 1st & 14th stitches in the loop and then I sew the end up into the loop.
