Step-by-Step Instructions
This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted. Always use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds—this is essential for amigurumi work!
Pie Filling (Pumpkin Orange)
We'll start with the star of the show—the delicious pumpkin filling!
Round 1: Magic ring, ch 1, 6 sc in ring. (6 stitches)
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
Round 3: (Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around. (18 stitches)
Round 4: (Sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around. (24 stitches)
Round 5: (Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) around. (30 stitches)
Rounds 6-10: Sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches)
Round 11: (Sc in next 3 sts, sc2tog) around. (24 stitches)
Round 12: (Sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog) around. (18 stitches)
Round 13: (Sc in next st, sc2tog) around. (12 stitches)
Round 14: Sc2tog around. (6 stitches)
Finishing the filling: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches). Stuff firmly with fiberfill—you want it nice and plump! Thread the tail through a yarn needle, weave through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches, pull tight to close the opening, and secure with a knot. Set aside.
Pie Crust (Warm Beige)
Now let's create the flaky bottom crust that holds everything together.
Round 1: Magic ring, ch 1, 6 sc in ring. (6 stitches)
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
Round 3: (Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around. (18 stitches)
Round 4: (Sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) around. (24 stitches)
Round 5: (Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) around. (30 stitches)
Rounds 6-8: Sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches)
Round 9: Working in back loops only, sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches) This creates the textured crust effect!
Round 10: Sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches)
Finishing the crust: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Stuff lightly—you want the crust to be slightly softer than the filling. This forms the bottom crust of your pie slice.
Crust Edge (Golden Brown)
Time to add that beautiful scalloped ruffle that makes this pie look extra special!
Step 1: Attach golden brown yarn to the front loops of round 9 of the crust (the loops that were left unworked).
Step 2: Ch 1, sc in same stitch, *ch 3, skip 1 st, sc in next st* repeat from * to * around the entire edge.
Step 3: Join with a slip stitch to the first sc. Fasten off and weave in the end.
This creates a lovely scalloped ruffle effect that mimics a crimped pie crust!
Whipped Cream Swirl (Cream)
What's pumpkin pie without a generous dollop of whipped cream? Let's make it!
Round 1: Magic ring, ch 1, 6 sc in ring. (6 stitches)
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
Round 3: (Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around. (18 stitches)
Rounds 4-5: Sc in each stitch around. (18 stitches)
Round 6: (Sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog) around. (12 stitches)
Round 7: Sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
Round 8: (Sc in next st, sc2tog) around. (8 stitches)
Round 9: Sc in each stitch around. (8 stitches)
Finishing the whipped cream: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Stuff lightly. To create the swirl effect, coil the piece gently and sew the base to the top center of the pie filling. The natural shaping of the piece will create a lovely swirl appearance!
Assembly
Now comes the exciting part—bringing all the pieces together!
Step 1: Sew the pie filling to the top of the crust, aligning the edges carefully. Use the long tail from the crust piece and a whip stitch or mattress stitch for a seamless join.
Step 2: Attach the whipped cream swirl to the top center of the pie filling. Position it slightly off-center for a more natural, whimsical look.
Step 3 (Optional): Add a small crocheted leaf or cinnamon stick for extra charm. A simple leaf can be made with a few chains and single crochets in green or golden brown yarn.
Finishing Touches
Weave in all remaining ends carefully with your yarn needle. Give your pumpkin pie slice a gentle squeeze to distribute the stuffing evenly and shape it to your liking.
Congratulations! Your Harvest Moon Pumpkin Pie Amigurumi is complete and ready to display! Place it on a shelf, desk, or coffee table to bring a touch of autumn warmth to any space. It also makes a wonderful handmade gift for friends, family, or teachers who appreciate cozy fall charm.
Pro Tip: This pattern is easily customizable! Try using different yarn colors for a chocolate cream pie, key lime pie, or even a festive holiday pie. You can also add a small crocheted leaf, a tiny cinnamon stick, or even a little pumpkin on top for extra personality.
