This pumpkin pie pattern is especially fitting for the fall season, making it a delightful project to work on as the weather cools down. However, the versatility of the pattern allows it to be a year-round favorite. You can easily modify the pie filling by selecting different yarn colors to create various pie flavors. For instance, you could opt for red yarn to represent a cherry pie or blue yarn for a blueberry pie, letting your creativity shine.

Pumpkin Pie Crochet Pattern
Making the Pie Filling (using orange yarn)
To start, chain 2
Round 1: In the second chain from the hook, place 6 single crochets. This will be the base of your filling. (You should have 6 stitches at the end of this round.)
As you work, don’t forget to place your stitch marker in the first stitch of each round. This will serve as a helpful guide to track when a new round begins.
Round 2: In this round, you will increase in each stitch all the way around. After this round, you should have 12 stitches total.
Round 3: Here, you will repeat the pattern of *increasing one stitch, followed by a single crochet in the next stitch*. Continue this pattern around until you complete the round, resulting in 18 stitches.
Round 4: For this round, continue the same pattern: *increase in one stitch, then single crochet in the next two stitches*. Repeat around until you total 24 stitches.
Round 5: This time you will increase, then single crochet in the next three stitches. Continue until you finish the round with 30 stitches.
Round 6: Continue with the pattern of *increasing, then single crocheting in the next four stitches* until you round off at 36 stitches.
Round 7: Following the same logic, your stitches will now count as *increase, followed by five single crochets* for a total of 42 stitches by the end.
Round 8: Repeat the pattern of *increase and six single crochets* for a new total of 48 stitches.
Round 9: Now, let’s modify slightly to *increase, followed by seven single crochets*. You should have 54 stitches after completing this round.
Round 10: Follow along with the pattern of *increase, plus eight single crochets* to round it off with 60 stitches.
Round 11: This time you will do an increase followed by nine single crochets, reaching a total of 66 stitches.
Round 12: For the final increase round, use the pattern of *increase and ten single crochets* to finish with 72 stitches.
Round 13: In this round, make one single crochet in every stitch around to retain the count at 72 stitches.
After completing this round, slip stitch to the first stitch, fasten off, and weave in the loose ends securely.
Creating the Whipped Topping (using white yarn)
To begin, chain 14
Next, crochet 3 double crochets into the second chain from the hook and continue doing this in each chain across. Once finished, fasten off while leaving a long tail for sewing.
To create the whipped topping effect, wrap the string around itself until it forms a spiral, adjusting to your liking. Finally, securely attach the whipped topping to the pie filling using a yarn needle.
Making the Crust (using tan yarn)
To start, chain 2
Round 1: In the second chain from the hook, work 6 single crochets to establish the base of your crust. (You should have 6 stitches by the end of this round.)
Keep in mind to indicate the first stitch of each round with your stitch marker. This will help you stay organized as you crochet.
Round 2: Increase in each stitch around to grow your total to 12 stitches.
Round 3: Now, work the pattern of *increase followed by a single crochet in the next stitch* around until you reach a total of 18 stitches.
Round 4: Continue increasing and single crocheting in the next two stitches, repeating until you end up with 24 stitches.
Round 5: Increase, then single crochet in the next three stitches, concluding this round with 30 stitches.
Round 6: For this round, follow the same pattern of *increase and four single crochets*, rounding up to 36 stitches.
Round 7: Now your pattern should be *increase and five single crochets*, finishing with 42 stitches.
Round 8: Repeat the pattern of *increase followed by six single crochets* to total 48 stitches.
Round 9: In this round, you will work on the pattern *increase, then single crochet in seven stitches*, giving you a total of 54 stitches.
Round 10: Continue with your pattern of *increase, followed by eight single crochets* for a total of 60 stitches.
Round 11: Once again, you will be performing the pattern of *increase and nine single crochets*, resulting in 66 stitches.
Round 12: In this round, keep to the pattern of *increase followed by ten single crochets* for a final count of 72 stitches.
Round 13: Make one single crochet in the back loop of each stitch around for a total of 72 stitches.
Rounds 14-17: During these rounds, you will make one single crochet in each stitch around for a consistent 72 stitches.
After completing round 17, slip stitch to the first stitch, fasten off, and weave in the yarn ends carefully.
Attaching the Crust and Filling, Stuffing, and Making the Crust Edge
To bring your project together, place the orange filling directly on top of the tan crust. We will now crochet the pieces together using the tan yarn.
Round 1: Attach the yarn to any stitch of your choice, chain 1, and single crochet in the same stitch. Proceed to single crochet around the circumference, attaching the filling to the crust as you go. Once finished, make sure to stuff the pie to your desired fullness. After you close the pie, this round should maintain a total of 72 stitches.
Slip stitch to the first stitch but do not fasten off just yet. Move on to round 2, where we will create the crust edge.
Round 2: Start with a chain 1 and single crochet in the same stitch. Then, for the rest of the round, work *3 half double crochets in the next stitch, skip the next stitch, and slip stitch in the following stitch*. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the round. If you have one stitch left, skip it, then slip stitch to the starting chain. Fasten off securely and weave in your ends neatly.
