PIE GRANNY SQUARES
FOOD SERIES - IN THE ROUND - 31

Welcome back to Sweet Nothings Crochet free crochet pattern blog.  This is the first in my series of food squares in the round.

We’re creating some really cute 9” x 9” squares for a charity – Project Chemo Crochet.  These squares are all sent to them, where volunteers join them up to make blankets that they give to people battling cancer.  This set of squares is going to be made up for toddlers battling the Big C.  Come along and see how you can help.  Check out the charity page here on Facebook or their website.

Today we are going to make two yummy pies – a pizza pie and a cherry pie. Thanks for coming along and spreading smiles.

Materials used : Today I’ve used a 4-ply acrylic baby soft yarn with a 4 mm crochet hook ; embroidery needle ; fabric glue to seal ends 

This yarn is not specific for this project.
You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.

For Indians : You could use Anchor , Red ros ; Red rose metallic or  unbranded  knitting cotton as well as Oswal or Vardhaman acrylic yarns

International yarns :  Among the international yarns I have used, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.

Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1 turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for free video tutorials of all the stitches used in this pattern.

I started my first cute kitty cat pattern, using the crochet granny square by Ashleigh.  I made a whole set of cartoon characters using this same basic crochet granny square pattern.   

Then I thought of making crochet food squares, and once more found this free pattern at http://www.sewrella.com/pizza-pie-crochet-granny-square/

I then thought about making an apple pie.. red centre and stripes off the top, using this pizza pie pattern as the base, and lo, behold! I found Ashleigh had had the same idea.. a long time before me !  So get her pattern at https://mycrafts.com/diy/crochet-cherry-pie-granny-square-bake-shop-blanket-series-sewrella/

The cherry pie is a lot smaller, for my requirement, but using the same idea, I just worked more rounds with the cherry filling and then worked the pie crust.  Finally for the criss cross, I worked as many chains as I needed to go right across my pie and voila, what a tasty pie this is too. 
Once again, thank you Ashleigh for this lovely free pattern.
  
Once you have made as many squares as you want for your blanket, use one of these joining methods for a neat join.
