Level of Difficulty

• Easy to Intermediate: The pattern uses basic stitches like single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, and increases. While most of the pattern is straightforward, assembling the pie slices and freehanding the whipped cream may require a bit of creativity or practice.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Creating Pumpkin Pie Slices

Each slice of pie is worked as a triangle.

1. Starting the Triangle:
   • Make a slip knot and chain 2.
   • Working back into the second chain, single crochet twice in the same stitch.
     Save
2. Building the Triangle Shape:
   • Chain 1 and turn.
   • Single crochet into the first stitch and crochet two single crochets into the second stitch.
   • Chain 1, turn, and repeat the pattern: single crochets across, increasing with two single crochets in the last stitch.
3. Continue Until Triangular Shape Is Complete:
   • Repeat this pattern until you have 15 stitches in the final row.
   • Slip stitch along the outer edge for a cleaner, finished look (optional).
     Save

Step 2: Adding the Crust

Create the pie crust at the top of the triangle.

1. Attach the Tan Yarn:
   • Tie on the tan yarn at the edge of the slice and make a knot.
   • Chain 2 to start.
2. Work the Crust Pattern:
   • Skip the first stitch, then work five double crochets into the next stitch.
   • In the following stitch, make one half-double crochet.
   • Repeat the pattern across: skip a stitch, work five double crochets, and finish with a half-double crochet.
3. Finish the Crust:
   • In the last stitch of the row, make one single crochet to create a curve.
   • Cut the yarn, pull through, and weave in the ends.
     Save

Step 3: Assembling the Full Pie

Once you have all the slices crocheted, you can assemble them to form a complete pumpkin pie.

1. Make a Base Circle:
   • Using orange yarn, create the circle base by working basic circle rounds:
     • Begin with a magic ring and single crochet 6 stitches into the ring.
     • For the second round, chain 1, then single crochet twice into each stitch.
     • Continue increasing in classic circle fashion (e.g., every 2nd, 3rd, 4th stitch) until the circle is large enough to hold all pie slices.
   • Slip stitch to secure.
2. Add Tan Crust Edge to the Base:
   • Attach tan yarn and work a single crochet row around the base with no increases.
   • Optionally, add another increase round in tan for more height.
3. Arrange Slices:
   • Lay the pie slices on the circle to form a complete pie.
   • If gaps appear between slices, ensure the orange base is visible to maintain cohesiveness.
     Save

Step 4: Adding Optional Whipped Cream

Create a "whipped cream" embellishment to decorate the pie.

1. Work Circular Rows:
   • Use white yarn to make a small circle for the whipped cream.
   • Begin with a magic ring and single crochet 6 stitches into the ring.
   • Following the same circle formula, increase until it reaches your desired size (e.g., 5 rows of increasing stitches).
2. Freehand the Squiggles:
   • Add random squiggles to mimic whipped cream texture using single, half-double, and double crochet stitches.
   • Optionally, slip stitch between squiggles for definition.
3. Attach the Whipped Cream:
   • Place it on the center of the pie or directly on a slice.
   • For added fluffiness, scrunch the whipped cream and stitch it down loosely.

Special Features

1. Customizable Design: Make larger pies, add more slices, or even create individual slice coasters.
2. Dual Functionality: Use the completed pie as décor or separate the slices as individual coasters.
3. Scrap-Friendly: The project works well with leftover yarn from previous projects.

Tutor’s Suggestions

1. Tighten Loose Stitches: Adjust tension as you go, especially in the early rows, to keep the triangle neat.
2. Experiment with Whipped Cream: Feel free to freehand the whipped cream design until you’re satisfied with how it looks.
3. Do Clean Slip Stitching: While optional, slip stitching the edges of each pie slice gives the project a polished finish.
4. Steam for Shape: Creator recommends steaming the final pieces to help them lay flat and look more refined.

Uses

• Coasters: Perfect for holding mugs during cozy fall days.
• Table Décor: Assemble the pie for a centerpiece.
• Thanksgiving Gifts: Handmade gifts for Thanksgiving hosts or guests.

Tip

When assembling the pie, strategically weave yarn ends to tighten and connect loose stitches or gaps for a seamless look. Prioritize weaving ends after completing all pieces to ensure alignment.
