Step-by-Step Pattern
Materials
To make the Crochet Fall Pumpkin Pie Cup Coaster, you’ll need:
- Worsted weight yarn (Size 4)
- Brown yarn: For the crust
- Orange yarn: For the pumpkin pie filling
- White yarn: For the whipped cream topping
- Crochet hook: 4.0 mm (G-6)
- Tapestry needle: To weave in ends
- Scissors
Optional Tools:
- Stitch marker: To help keep your place in circular rounds.
- Fabric stiffener: For extra firmness, if desired.
Stitch Guide
Here are the basic stitches and techniques you’ll use:
- Slip Knot: Create the starting loop on your hook.
- Chain (ch): Yarn over (YO), pull through the loop on your hook.
- Slip Stitch (sl st): Insert your hook into the stitch, YO, pull through both the stitch and the loop on the hook.
- Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook into stitch, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through both loops on the hook.
- Double Crochet (dc): YO, insert hook into stitch, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops, YO, pull through the remaining two loops.
- Increase (inc): Crochet two stitches into the same stitch.
- Magic Circle (MC): A method to start crocheting in the round while keeping the center tight and closed.
Notes
- This pattern works in the round, so you won’t turn your work unless specified. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch in each round.
- Gauge isn’t crucial for this project, but your coaster should measure approximately 4–5 inches in diameter.
- You can customize the “filling” color yarn to make it represent other pies (e.g., cherry with red, blueberry with purple).
- If your coaster is curling too much, adjust your tension or try blocking the finished piece.
Pattern Instructions
Let’s start crocheting step by step!
Pumpkin Pie Base (Orange)
- Magic Circle: Start with a magic circle and secure it with a slip knot.
- Round 1: Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch). Work 12 dc into the magic circle. Sl st to the first dc. Pull the circle closed tightly. (12 stitches)
- Round 2: Ch 2. Work 2 dc into each stitch around. Sl st to the first dc. (24 stitches)
- Round 3: Ch 2. (1 dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch). Repeat around. Sl st to the first dc. (36 stitches)
- Round 4: Ch 2. (1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch). Repeat around. Sl st to the first dc. (48 stitches) Finish off and cut the yarn.
Pie Crust (Brown)
- Attach brown yarn to any stitch from Round 4 of the base.
- Round 5: Ch 1. Work 1 sc into each stitch around. Sl st to the first sc.
- Round 6 (Crust Ruffle): (Ch 4, skip 1 stitch, sl st in the next stitch). Repeat around to form a ruffled edge resembling a pie crust. Sl st to the first st. Finish off and weave in the ends.
Whipped Cream (White)
- Use white yarn to create a small spiral on top:
- Ch 12. Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, work 2 sc into each chain. The spiral will naturally curl as you crochet.
- Place the spiral in the center of the pumpkin pie base, securing with a few stitches using your yarn needle.
Final Touches
- Weave in any remaining loose ends with a tapestry needle.
- Block your work if needed to flatten the coaster evenly.
- If you want your coaster extra sturdy, apply fabric stiffener or line the back with felt for added firmness.
Customizations
- Add beads or embroidery: Create “sprinkles” or designs on the whipped cream.
- Experiment with different pie fillings: Use yellow yarn for lemon pie, light brown for pecan, or dark purple for blackberry.
