The fall season brings so many things to love: colorful leaves, crisp air, and, of course, pumpkin pie! If you’re looking to add a little more autumn magic to your home decor, this crochet pumpkin pie slice coaster pattern is the perfect way to do just that. It’s a quick and simple project that even beginners can enjoy, making it a wonderful way to embrace those cozy fall vibes.
I absolutely adore how these little pie slices turn out. They’re not just charming; they’re also incredibly functional, protecting your surfaces in style. I love making a batch of these for Thanksgiving gatherings or as thoughtful gifts for friends. This pattern is worked in decreasing rows to form the slice, then a border is added, and finally, a lovely cream-colored bobble stitch edging creates that perfect “piped cream” look. It’s a satisfying project that comes together quickly, leaving you with a delightful piece of fall decor.

Olivia’s Tips
- Yarn Choice: For coasters, I always recommend using cotton yarn or a cotton blend. It’s durable, absorbent, and easy to clean, which is perfect for items that will see a lot of use and moisture.
- Tension is Key: Maintaining consistent tension throughout your project will ensure your coaster lies flat and has a neat, even appearance.
- Making a Set: These coasters are so quick to make that it’s easy to whip up a whole set for your dining table. They make a lovely coordinated look for any fall gathering!
- Color Play: Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors! While traditional orange and cream are classic, you could try spiced tones like cinnamon or mustard yellow for a unique twist.
- Blocking: Although not strictly necessary for this pattern, a light block can help your coaster achieve a perfectly flat and polished finish.
