This tutorial guides you through making small crochet pumpkin pie earrings topped with whipped cream. You start from the top center using white embroidery floss to crochet a small 3D white whipped cream cone. You then switch to orange floss to expand into a flat circular pie surface using standard single crochet increases. Next, you change to beige floss for the crust back, reducing stitches with single crochet decreases to close the back flat. Finally, you crochet a raised edge around the pie rim, attach an earring hook directly to the top edge, and weave in all yarn ends.
Crochet Pumpkin Pie Amigurumi Earrings
Difficulty Level: Easy / Beginner-Friendly
-
Why: The project uses simple circular amigurumi rounds consisting of basic single crochets, increases, and decreases. However, working with fine embroidery floss and a small 2.7 mm hook requires a small amount of fine motor control, but the construction steps remain simple.

Pull up a loop: Yarn over and pull up a loop (2 loops on your hook).
