First, the Crust is worked flat. Then, the Filling Sides are worked directly onto the Crust. The Filling Top is made separately and joined with single crochet stitches to the rest of the piece. Fruit is made separately and sewn to the top of the Pie. When working in continuous rounds, place a marker in first stitch to indicate beginning of the round. Move marker up as each round begins. If making all three slices of Pie, one ball each of the contrast colors is enough to complete all.
