INSPIRATION
Yes, fall is my absolute favorite season and I would say for me, Thanksgiving is right up there as one of my very favorite holidays (except for Christmas, of course). I have always loved the Thanksgiving holiday. Making the annual trips up north to Sacramento to visit family, everyone gathered around the table to enjoy the feast that my mom and aunt slaved over all day, the adults at the big table and the younger ones at the kids table, all the fall colors and crisp, cool weather that Sacramento offers, the leftovers, the game playing and the good old-fashioned quality time together. It just can’t be beat!
When I was decorating my porch for fall this year and thinking about the things I love about Thanksgiving, the delicious food came to mind, and for our family it’s just not Thanksgiving without my mom’s pumpkin pie (free recipe below). It’s an absolute dessert staple for our family during this holiday. I decided a pumpkin pie hot pad and set of coasters would be a fun project for this season and this set makes the perfect added touch to your Thanksgiving table. The hot pad is double layered to provide extra protection from heat and both the crochet hot pad and coasters make up quick and easy. Add them to your holiday table this year!

PIE CRUST EDGING FOR PUMPKIN PIE HOT PAD
Using BUFF yarn and H hook -
Weave in the beginning magic ring tails in the center of both the frontside and backside pie pieces. Do not weave in the join tails.
Take both the frontside (CARROT) and backside (BUFF) pieces and place them with wrong sides back-to-back, lining up the join loops you left open.
Insert your hook through both join loops that were left open.
Pull both ending yarn tails tight so the loops are snug on the hook.
Tuck in the CARROT and BUFF ending tails down and between the two back-to-back pieces.
With your skein of BUFF yarn, begin the crust edging by pulling the BUFF yarn through both loops on the hook. Leave a beginning tail long enough to use for stitching at a later point.
Add Your Heading Text Here
For the next stitch you will hdc 1 by inserting your hook through both the lined up stitches of the frontside and backside pieces (left photo), then yarn over and pull yarn through both sets of stitches to complete the hdc (right photo).
Add Your Heading Text Here
Continue to hdc 1 in each set of lined up stitches, working all the way around until you reach the end.

Once you’ve finished the round, slip stitch to join in the 1st hdc of the round.

To make the scalloped edging, ch 2 at the join space, dc 3 in the same ch 2 space (left photo), sc 1 in the next 2 sts (middle photo), *dc 4 in the next st, sc 1 in the next 2 sts* (right photo) – repeat x 25
Add Your Heading Text Here
For the last scallop of the round you will have 2 sts remaining (left photo), dc 4 into the next st (middle photo), sc 1 in the last st (right photo).
Add Your Heading Text Here
Now that you have joined your scalloped edging, tie off and weave in that finishing tail. You should still have the beginning tail from when you added the skein of BUFF yarn to start your scallops. LEAVE that tail for stitching (left photo).
That beginning tail will be used to fill in faux stitches where there is an open space at the beginning of the scalloped round (right photo).
Add Your Heading Text Here
Thread your tapestry needle with beginning tail. From the BUFF backside, bring the needle through to the CARROT frontside, lining it up where the other stitches of the round started (left photo).
Move your threaded needle up just enough to place a stitch evenly with the other stitches in the round (middle photo). Pull through to the backside.
Make a 2nd stitch (the same way) right next to the first faux stitch (right photo).

HANGING LOOP FOR PUMPKIN PIE HOT PAD
Using BUFF yarn and H hook -
Ch 23
Sc 1 in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc 1 across to the end (22)
Tie off but do not weave in tails
Form the single crocheted chain in a loop and place the bottoms of the loop where you want it to be on the backside of the hot pad. Using the beginning and finishing tails of the chain, stitch the loop to the backside of the hot pad (not going through to the frontside) about 7 or 8 stitches.
Weave in tails
The loop should be nice and secure to the backside

Cut yarn leaving just a bit of tail (right photo). The short cut tail will be glued down and won’t fray or show once it is secured to the hot pad and glued in place.
**Repeat with the second tail.

To glue the whipped cream to the hot pad use the first 2 rounds as a guide for placement
Zigzag the glue up and down to cover half of the space
Place the beginning of your chain right where you started the glue and zigzag it back and forth covering the glue.
I use my crochet hook to push and press the chain together and down on the hot pad.

FREE PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE WITH HOMEMADE CRUST
Judy's Pumpkin Pie
My mom, Judy, has been making this pumpkin pie since she became a newlywed 60 years ago. She found the recipe on the back of a Libby's Pumpkin can, but tweaked it slightly by replacing the cloves for nutmeg. My dad loved it, and she has stuck with the same recipe ever since. Still to this day this pumpkin pie is an absolute staple at our Thanksgiving dinners. Of course, for us, this pie wouldn't be the same without my mom's homemade pie crust (recipe included). SO GOOD! And don't forget the whipped cream!!
Ingredients
PIE FILLING - (recipe makes enough for 1 pie)
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- 1 can (15 oz.) 100% pure pumpkin
- 1 can (12 fl oz.) evaporated milk
- 1 - 9" pre-made pie crust (if you are not making a homemade crust)
HOMEMADE PIE CRUST - (recipe makes 2 crusts. Use both now or use one and freeze the other for later)
- 2 cups sifted flour
- 1 cup shortening cut into pieces (Crisco Shortening Sticks work well)
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 - 5 Tbsp water
- 2 - 9" pie plates
Instructions
HOMEMADE PIE CRUST (makes 2 crusts)
- Before starting crust, place the 3-5 Tbsp of water in the freezer until you are ready for it.
- Next, sift together the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives criss-crossing until the dough becomes crumbly.
- Remove the water from the freezer and starting with 1 Tbsp at a time, sprinkle into the flour & salt mixture making a stiff dough by blending with a fork and using at least 3 of the tablespoons of water. If the dough seems too thick or floury, add the remaining 1 - 2 Tbsp of water.
- Form the dough into a ball and then split the dough in half. Form each half into its own ball and reserve one of the balls of dough for your second crust. Keep the second ball of dough in the fridge until you are ready to roll it out.
- Flour your working surface, your rolling pin and the outside of the ball of dough. Roll the dough out and in all directions until it is no thicker than 1/8" thick.
- Once rolled completely out, fold the dough in half and then lay it halfway over your pie plate, then open the other half of dough to cover the rest of the pie plate. Press the dough down the sides and bottom of plate. Trim any excess dough that overhangs the edges, then crimp the remaining edge dough with your fingers.
For 2nd Pie Crust
Repeat steps 5 & 6. You can then either use the crust now for a second pie, or wrap the crust in freezer safe wrap and freeze for a later time. Pie dough crusts will last up to 2 months in the freezer.
PUMPKIN PIE FILLING (makes enough for 1 pie)
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and nutmeg in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, then stir in pumpkin and add the sugar and spice mixture previously made.
- Gradually stir in the evaporated milk then pour mixture into 1 pie crust.
BAKING TIME
- Pre-heat oven to 425°
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°; bake another 40 - 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let pie cool before serving.
- Optional - add a dollop of whipped cream to each slice (pie makes 8 nice sized slices).
ENJOY!

September 26, 2023 at 3:40 pmCan I use hot glue for the whipped cream? Or do you not recommend it?

November 3, 2023 at 6:25 pmHello,
I don’t see why you can’t use hot glue. I’ve used a glue gun on several yarn projects and haven’t experienced any melting of the yarn.
Blessing for a wonderful Holiday Season!
Angela
November 3, 2023 at 3:27 pmThank you for this pattern! It turned out so cute and the instructions were very easy to follow. Quick question -have you had any issues with the yarn melting since it is acrylic?
Lynnette
November 3, 2023 at 6:22 pmHello,
I’m so glad you liked my pattern! No, I have had no issues with the acrylic melting. I’ve made tons of hot pads and coasters and they all hold very well. I especially like my hot pad patterns that are always double layered to protect counter tops from heat. If you are worried about the acrylic yarn you can use 100% cotton yarn which is totally safe for heated objects.
Blessing for a wonderful Holiday Season!
