Materials & tools you'll need
Size H crochet hook · Medium-weight yarn in pumpkin pie hues · Yarn needle · Scissors · Yarn or fabric glue (optional, for assembly)
Step 1 — Build the base
Start by creating the base for each pie slice using double crochet stitches. Begin with a magic ring and work around in a circle, decreasing every four stitches to form a pie slice shape. Aim for six slices for the coaster set and one additional slice for the trivet base. Use a size H hook with medium-weight yarn in warm pumpkin hues — adjust hook size or yarn weight freely to achieve your preferred dimensions.
Round 1: Chain 4, join with sl st in fourth ch from hook, work 8 dc, *ch 2, skip 2 dc, work 2 dc; repeat from * until 4 dc remain, ch 2, slip st in top of joining ch to form a circle.
Step 2 — Whip up the ruffled top
Now add the ruffled top that mimics whipped cream or the fluted edge of a real pie crust. Crochet double crochet stitches around the edge of each slice in a rippled pattern. Repeat for every slice, adjusting the number of skipped and worked stitches as needed to keep all slices a consistent size.
Round 2: Chain 3, skip first dc, work 1 dc in next dc, *skip 2 dc, work 2 dc in next dc; repeat from * until end of round. Fasten off.
Step 3 — Assemble the set
Once all slices and ruffled edges are complete, arrange them together into their coaster and trivet formation. Insert each slice into its corresponding base and arrange as desired for a visually appealing result. Use a little yarn or fabric glue to secure the slices in place if you want extra stability.
Step 4 — Admire your masterpiece
Your finished pumpkin pie coaster set is ready to use as coasters, a trivet, or a decorative piece for fall celebrations. It adds a delightful touch of handmade charm to any table and can easily be completed in an afternoon once you have the first slice down — making it a wonderfully rewarding project to share as a gift.
Step 5 — Block the pieces (optional)
For the best long-term results, block each piece by soaking it in water, then pinning it flat on a blocking mat to help it hold its shape. Allow the pieces to dry completely before assembling or using your set. This step is optional but gives the finished coasters a polished, professional finish.
