Fruit Pi C2C Crochet Afghan Block 1
Who can resist pumpkin pie? The traditional creamy dessert is a definite favorite in our house. This Pumpkin Pi C2C Crochet Block is in its honor. This is the final fruit block in the Fruit Pi Crochet Along. Look for the Digits of Pi borders coming soon!
If you prefer a more subtle approach, check out the alternate blocks available in the full Fruit Pi C2C Crochet Afghan in my Etsy shop. I’ve also included additional fruit options: peach, pear, plum, and cherry—that’s an additional 12 blocks!

Crochet the square starting from the bottom right corner of the chart. Row-by-row written instructions are below.
After you finish crocheting the block, crochet one row of single crochet in BEIGE around the entire block. See Adding a Single Crochet Edge around a Finished C2C Block for how I crochet around the edge.
Double Crochet Edging
As with the other three blocks, we’re going to add a final row of edging. This time in CHOCOLATE.
- With the right side of block facing you, attach CHOCOLATE yarn into any single crochet stitch using a double crochet.
- Double Crochet (DC) to the end of the row.
- In the corner stitch, work DC 1, Chain (CH) 2, DC 1.
- Repeat steps 2-3 until you have crocheted around the entire block.
- Slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet. Fasten off.
Enjoy!
