This mini pie crochet pattern creates a small, shallow pie with a golden-brown crust, berry-colored filling, and a simple woven lattice topping. The design is made from a few separate crocheted pieces and finished with straightforward sewing and shaping.

The target finished size is approximately 2.5–3 inches (6.5–7.5 cm) in diameter and 1–1.25 inches (2.5–3 cm) tall. Actual size will vary with yarn, hook, tension, stuffing, and individual technique.

Project Overview

What You’ll Make

This design is built from four main parts:

One shallow pie body
One berry-colored filling disk
One crust rim
Six narrow lattice strips

The body is stuffed lightly to maintain a shallow pie shape. The filling is sewn to the top, the crust rim finishes the edge, and the six strips are arranged in a crossed lattice.

Before You Start

Work in Continuous Rounds

The pie body and filling disk are worked in continuous rounds. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.

Count Your Stitches

The shaping rounds increase by six stitches at a time. The pie body and filling disk both finish with 42 stitches, which makes their edges compatible during assembly.

Stuff Lightly

The pie body should stay relatively shallow. Use light-to-moderate stuffing and avoid overfilling it into a rounded shape.

Shape Before Sewing

After stuffing, gently shape the body so the sides remain even and the top opening stays suitable for attaching the filling disk.

Construction Order

For the cleanest finish, complete the body, filling disk, crust rim, and all six lattice strips before beginning the final assembly.

Assemble the Mini Pie

Step 1: Attach the Filling

Place the berry-colored filling disk over the open top of the stuffed pie body.

The filling disk and the body opening are both designed around 42 stitches. Match the edge of the filling evenly around the opening and sew it securely in place.

Keep the disk centered and avoid pulling the seam too tightly.

Step 2: Add the Crust Rim

Position the golden-brown crust ring around the edge where the filling meets the pie body.

Sew the ring securely around the top edge. The rim helps create a clean finished transition between the crust and filling.

Step 3: Position the Lattice

Arrange the six golden-brown strips over the berry filling.

Place three strips diagonally in one direction and three strips crossing them in the opposite direction.

Before sewing, check that:

The lattice is centered
The spacing looks balanced
The strip ends remain inside the crust rim
The crossed pattern looks even from above

Once you are happy with the placement, secure the strip ends to the filling area.

Add a few small securing stitches where the strips cross to help keep the lattice in position.

Finishing

Gently shape the finished pie by hand.

Check that:

The body remains shallow
The filling sits relatively flat
The crust rim stays upright
The lattice remains centered
No stuffing is visible

Weave in the remaining yarn ends and trim the excess.

Helpful Tips

Keep the Body Shallow

The pie is designed with a broad, low profile. Too much stuffing can make the body look more rounded than intended.

Watch the Stitch Counts

The body and filling both finish with 42 stitches. Keeping those counts correct makes the assembly more straightforward.

Arrange the Lattice Before Sewing

Place all six strips on the filling before attaching them permanently. This gives you room to adjust the spacing and crossing pattern.

Keep the Crust Join Neat

The crust rim is designed to cover the join between the filling and outer body, so take your time when sewing around this area.

Troubleshooting

My pie looks too round.

The body may be overstuffed. Remove a small amount of fiberfill and reshape the sides into a shallower profile.

The filling does not sit flat.

Check that the filling disk is centered before sewing. Make sure the stitches are distributed evenly around the 42-stitch edge.

My lattice looks uneven.

Reposition the strips before making the final securing stitches. Viewing the pie from directly above makes uneven spacing easier to spot.

I lost track of my stitch count.

Return to the previous round and recount the stitches before continuing. The body and filling follow a six-stitch increase progression through Round 7.

Customization Ideas

Change the Filling Color

Try a different filling shade while keeping the same construction. A new color can give the pie a completely different look.

Change the Crust Shade

A lighter or darker golden-brown can change the appearance of the finished crust while keeping the pattern structure the same.

Adjust the Lattice Arrangement

Experiment with the spacing and placement of the six strips before sewing them down. Arrange the pieces until the top looks balanced.
