Step 1: Crochet the Golden Crust Base
Start with golden yellow yarn. This base gives the slice its shape. Work in rows, and turn at the end of each row. Also, keep your tension even.
- Row 1: Chain 16. Then single crochet in the second chain from the hook and across. (15 stitches)
- Row 2: Chain 1 and turn. Then single crochet across the row.
- Rows 3-10: Repeat Row 2 until the base feels firm.
Count your stitches after each row. This keeps the edges straight. If a row feels tight, switch to a slightly larger hook.
Step 2: Crochet the Orange Pumpkin Filling Panel
Now switch to pumpkin orange yarn. This panel sits on top of the crust. Make it slightly smaller than the crust base. Then the golden edge will show around it.
- Row 1: Chain 14. Then single crochet in the second chain from the hook and across. (13 stitches)
- Row 2: Chain 1 and turn. Then single crochet across the row.
- Rows 3-9: Repeat Row 2 until the panel matches the crust length.
Fasten off, and leave a long tail for sewing. Then place the panel on the crust base. Next, check the fit before you sew.
Step 3: Stuff the Slice Lightly
Sew the filling panel to the crust base. Start at one short edge. Then sew along the long edge. Next, sew the second short edge.
- Add a small amount of fiberfill through the open edge.
- Spread the fiberfill flat with your fingers.
- Do not overstuff the slice, or it will bulge.
- Sew the last edge closed with neat, even stitches.
Press the slice flat on a table. This gives it a clean pie shape. Also, smooth any lumps before you move on.
Step 4: Add the Scalloped Crimped Crust Edge
Join golden yellow yarn at a crust corner. Work around the outer edge of the slice. This scalloped edge looks like a real pie crust. Also, it hides the seam.
- Work a slip stitch in the first edge stitch.
- Skip one stitch, then work 5 double crochet stitches in the next stitch.
- Skip one stitch, then slip stitch in the next stitch.
- Repeat this scallop pattern around the crust edge.
Keep the scallops even in size. This gives a tidy, bakery-style finish. Then fasten off and weave in the end.
Step 5: Crochet the Cream Dollop Swirl
Use cream white yarn for this soft swirl. Work in rounds, and do not join the rounds. Then use a stitch marker to track the start.
- Round 1: Make a magic ring, then work 6 single crochet stitches in the ring.
- Round 2: Work 2 single crochet stitches in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
- Round 3: Work 1 single crochet, then an increase, and repeat around. (18 stitches)
- Rounds 4-5: Single crochet around without increases.
- Round 6: Work 1 single crochet, then a decrease, and repeat around.
- Round 7: Decrease around until the top closes into a soft tip.
Stuff the dollop very lightly. Then sew it near the wide end of the slice. Also, pull it into a gentle swirl shape as you sew.
Step 6: Finish Your Crochet Pumpkin Pie Pattern Slice
Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle. Then trim the ends close to the work. Next, place the slice on a small plate. Finally, fluff the cream dollop with your fingers.
Check the slice from all sides. Fix any loose stitches at once. Then your pie slice is ready for display.
