Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Make the Pie Base
- Using the “filling” color (e.g., red or orange), begin with a magic ring.
- Round 1: Work 6 SC into the magic ring. Pull the ring tightly to close. (6 SC)
- Round 2: INC in each stitch around. (12 SC)
- Round 3: SC 1, INC—repeat around. (18 SC)
- Round 4: SC 2, INC—repeat around. (24 SC)
- Continue increasing in this fashion until you reach approximately 48 SC.
Step 2: Create the Pie Filling Height
- SC in each stitch around for 5–6 rounds to add height to the “filling.”
Step 3: Add the Pie Crust
- Switch to your “crust” color (e.g., brown).
- SC around for 2 rounds.
- Begin the crust ruffle: CH 3, skip 1 stitch, SL ST in the next stitch—repeat all the way around.
Step 4: Add Whipped Cream Decoration (Optional)
- Using white yarn, create 6–8 small “puffs” for whipped cream:
- Magic ring, 6 SC into ring, SL ST to close.
- Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
- Attach the puffs to the pie top using a tapestry needle.
Step 5: Assembly
- Stuff the pie with fiberfill to your desired plushness.
- Close the bottom of the pie using an SC seam or whipstitch.
