Loved this pattern. My son’s drum teacher said his wish would be to have an everlasting pork pie. So here it is :-). I added a crinkly crust using the pattern from the cherry pie on http://www.pieknits.com (using 72 stitches) and left off the leaves.
Thanks for sharing the pattern. Sue xx
Help! I’m struggling with this pattern.
Are we knitting on straight needles? if so, do we sew up the side later? it’s not mentioned. Also, if I do the increases and decreases as written, they are very abrupt, and I’m not getting at all the sorts of shapes shown in the picture. is there maybe a cardboard circle at the bottom of the one shown?
can someone please clarify?
I’m sure it could be a very nice pork pie, if only I could get the pattern to work for me.
Very fun. I’d like to see someone make a pattern for Mrs. Lovett’s pies from Sweeney Todd! Mmmm… Priest. 😛
it,s lovely.
enjoyed this item.
My mum loves pork pies but is on a diet this would be great gift.
Why?
