What Makes This Pumpkin Pie Slice Special

This amigurumi pie slice uses structured panel construction rather than standard spherical rounds. By creating two flat triangle panels for the top and bottom and attaching side walls with tight single crochet stitches, the wedge maintains sharp, crisp edges without bulging. The signature crimped back crust is achieved using alternating front post and back post double crochet stitches, giving it that authentic baked texture visible in the photos. Making a crochet pumpkin pie slice with this free crochet pattern is a rewarding project for seasonal decor and play food collection.

Skill Level

• Working in flat rows with edge increases
• Single crochet joining along panel seams
• Front post and back post double crochet (FPDC/BPDC)
• Working into back loops (BLO) and front loops (FLO)

This easy amigurumi pattern is straightforward and beginner-friendly if you take your time counting your row-end stitches during assembly!

Assembly

1. Join Side Panels to Top Panel: Align one long edge of a Pumpkin Orange side wall panel (Rows 1 to 19) with one side of the Pumpkin Orange top triangle (Row-ends 1 to 19). Using Pumpkin Orange yarn, sc the edges together from tip to back. Repeat for the second side wall panel on the opposite side of the triangle.
2. Attach Back Crust Panel: Place the Warm Gold back panel across the back width of the pie (20 sts wide). Join the side edges of the back panel (Rows 1 to 7) to the 7-stitch ends of the side panels using Warm Gold yarn. Single crochet the bottom row of the back panel across the 20 sts of the top panel back edge.
3. Attach Bottom Crust Panel: Position the Warm Gold bottom triangle against the open bottom of the pie structure. Using Warm Gold yarn, sc along both side edges and the back edge, joining the bottom panel to the side panels and back wall.
4. Stuffing the Pie: Stop crocheting when 2 inches (5 cm) of the final edge remains open. Stuff the pie firmly with fiberfill, smoothing out the corners so the wedge shape remains sharp and flat. Finish single crocheting the edge closed, sl st to join, and weave in all yarn ends.
5. Attach Whipped Cream: Position the whipped cream dollop centered on the top Orange triangle, roughly 1.5 in (4 cm) back from the pointed tip. Securely sew in place using the yarn tail and a tapestry needle.

Finishing

• Gently squeeze the side edges and flatten the top and bottom surfaces against a flat table to settle the fiberfill evenly.
• Lightly pinch the crimped back crust to highlight the raised FPDC ridges.

Size Customization Tips

• Larger Pie Slice (Chunky Yarn): Use Super Bulky (Category 6) yarn with a 6.0 mm hook. Maintain exact stitch counts. The finished slice will measure approx. 8 in (20 cm) long by 5 in (12.5 cm) tall—perfect for a floor cushion or playful decor item!
• Miniature Pie Slice (Keychain / Bag Charm): Use Fingering weight (Category 1) cotton yarn with a 2.0 mm hook. The finished piece will be roughly 2 in (5 cm) long, creating a cute crochet play food pattern accessory.

---

Care Instructions

• Cleaning: Spot clean with cold water and mild detergent. Do not wring or twist.
• Drying: Air dry flat on a clean towel away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Reshaping: Re-fluff the stuffing manually after cleaning to restore the crisp wedge profile.

FAQ

Can I crochet the pie in one piece without sewing panels?

While continuous working is possible, piecing flat panels together gives sharp 90-degree side edges that mimic a real cut slice of pie far better than seamless rounds.

My side walls are bulging outward. How do I fix this?

Ensure you stuff the pie evenly without over-packing. Placing a stiff piece of plastic canvas cut to size inside the top and bottom panels before stuffing keeps the faces flat and prevents bulging!

Is this toy safe for young children?

Yes! Because all parts are crocheted and sewn without safety eyes or plastic pieces, this pattern is 100% safe for toddlers and play kitchens.
