Creating the Whipped Topping (using Vintage yarn)
To begin, chain 14.
Place 3 double crochets in the 2nd chain from the hook and continue with double crocheting in each chain across. Once complete, fasten off while leaving a long tail for sewing purposes.
To create a whimsical whipped cream effect, wrap the yarn in a spiral shape. You may need to adjust it until you achieve the desired look. Once satisfied, securely attach the whipped topping to the pie filling.
Joining the Crust and Filling, Stuffing, and Finishing the Crust Edge
Begin by positioning the orange filling atop the crust. You will use single crochet stitches in the Sand yarn to join these two pieces together.
Round 1: Attach the yarn to any stitch in the crust. Chain 1 and work a single crochet into the same stitch. Then, continue to single crochet in every stitch around to connect the filling and crust. Before fully closing the pie, add your desired amount of stuffing. After you are satisfied with the stuffing, continue to close the piece with single crochet stitches around, maintaining a total of 104 stitches.
Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch. Do not fasten off, as we now move on to creating the crust edge.
Round 2: Chain 1 and single crochet in the same stitch, followed by working 3 half double crochets in the next stitch, skipping the next stitch and finishing with a slip stitch in the following stitch. Repeat this sequence around. When you reach the final stitch, skip it and join with a slip stitch to the initial chain. Fasten off your work and weave in all ends to create a neat finish.
