Lattice Crust

Step 1: Using G hook and beige yarn, begin with a slip knot, Ch 15, finish off leaving a 6in. tail for sewing.

Step 2: Repeat 5 times for a total of 6 individual Ch 15 strips.

Step 3: Using a tapestry needle, sew 3 Ch strips to the top of the pie parallel to each other. Don’t sew along the entire length of each Ch, just tack down each end of the Ch strip.

Step 4: Working perpendicular to the 3 strips sewn down, weave each of the other 3 strips in a lattice style.

• 1st strip: under 1st strip, over 2nd strip, under 3rd strip, tack down the edges.
• 2nd strip: over 1st strip, under 2nd strip, over 3rd strip, tack down the edges.
• 3rd strip: under 1st strip, over 2nd strip, under 3rd strip, tack down the edges.
