Ned the Pie has been resting on the windowsill for a while now, soaking up the sunshine, and he has genuinely never been happier about it. This pattern is for makers of all skill levels—with modification options to customize your bake for any occasion, any season. Classic cherry or apple pie for the Fourth of July, pumpkin for Thanksgiving, and finishing options to make him feel truly homemade. A flakey good time from first stitch to last.
