As we embrace the cozy vibes of fall, what better way to celebrate than by creating your very own crochet pumpkin pie potholder?
This potholder makes a great addition to your fall kitchen decor and is a quick and easy gift for friends and family.
This pumpkin pie is the perfect fall project, but the pattern itself is a great year-round pattern if you change the type of pie you make. You can change your pie flavor by choosing a different yarn color for the pie filling. Use red yarn for a cherry pie or blue yarn for a blueberry pie!
