How to Crochet the Pumpkin Pie Triangle(written pattern)
- Row 1
- Make a slip knot and chain 17.
- Make 1 sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and continue making 1 sc in each chain across.
- You will have 16 sc.
- Ch 1 and turn.
- Row 2
- Make a single crochet decrease over the first two stitches.
- How to Make the Single Crochet Decrease
- Insert your hook into the first stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop. You now have 2 loops on your hook.
- Insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop. You now have 3 loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.
- Your single crochet decrease is complete.
- After the decrease, make 1 sc in each remaining stitch across.
- Ch 1 and turn.
- Row 3 and Remaining Rows
- Repeat the same process:
- Ch 1, turn. Make a single crochet decrease over the first 2 stitches, then make 1 sc in each remaining stitch across.
- Continue repeating this row until all the stitches have been decreased and your work forms a triangle.
- Important: The ch 1 at the beginning of each row is a turning chain and does not count as a stitch.
- Neaten the Edges
- Once your triangle is complete, don’t add the cream border immediately.
- First, use your pumpkin-colored yarn to single crochet around all three sides of the triangle.
- This helps straighten and neaten the edges and gives you a clean foundation for the decorative crust.
- When you reach the end, fasten off and weave in the end.
How to Make the Cream Pie-Crust Border
Now it’s time for the fun part—the little fluffy scallops that make the coaster look like a slice of pumpkin pie! 🥧
Attach your cream-colored yarn to the very first stitch of the triangle.
First Stitch
- In the first stitch:
- Make 1 sc
- Make 2 puff stitches
- Second Stitch
- Move to the second stitch and make:
- 2 puff stitches
- 1 sc
- Then chain to connect the scallop.
- This creates one rounded cream-colored pie-crust section.
- Continue repeating the same sequence along the edge:
- First stitch: 1 sc + 2 puff stitches
- Second stitch: 2 puff stitches + 1 sc
- Chain to connect
- Repeat until you reach the end of the side.
- Continue around the remaining sides of the triangle.
Want a Thicker Crust?
If you prefer a fuller, thicker-looking scalloped crust, simply add more puff stitches to each scallop.
You can adjust the number of puff stitches according to how full you want your pie crust to look.
Puff Stitch
For the puff stitch, you can follow the same puff-stitch technique demonstrated in my video tutorial.
Because puff stitches can be made in slightly different ways, keep your puff stitches consistent throughout the border so all the scallops have a similar size.
Tips for Making This Pumpkin Pie Coaster
Keep your tension fairly even so the triangle doesn’t become too tight.
Count your stitches in the first few rows to make sure your decreases are happening correctly.
Remember that the ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
Single crocheting around the triangle before adding the cream border helps create cleaner edges.
Keep your puff stitches similar in size for an even scalloped crust.
Use cotton yarn if you plan to use the coaster regularly.
You can make the coaster larger by starting with a longer foundation chain.
Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them
My triangle looks uneven.
Check that you’re making one decrease at the beginning of every row. Missing a decrease can change the shape.
My triangle is getting smaller too quickly.
Make sure you’re decreasing only once per row.
My edges look wavy.
Try to keep your single crochet tension consistent when working around the triangle.
My scallops don’t look full enough.
Add more puff stitches to each scallop for a thicker pie-crust effect.
My scallops aren’t the same size.
Try to use the same tension and the same number of puff stitches in every scallop.
Creative Ideas
- This little crochet pie slice doesn’t have to be used only as a coaster!
