My sister requested a crochet Pi for her office, and since the very few versions I found online (for pay or free) did not excite me, I decided to make my own.

two pis

This is big little pi and little big Pi. I haven’t totally worked out the pattern for big little pi, but here’s the other.

Little Big Pi

Top bar:
1. Sc 6 in magic ring.
2. 2sc around (12).
3-5. Sc around (3 rnds).
6. Ch 3, sk 3 sts, sc 9.
7-8. Ch 3, sk prev chs, sc 9.
9. Sc into each ch and sc of prev rnd, leaving a lp of each ch exposed to sc into later (12).
10-14. Sc around (5 rnds).
15. Sc 2, ch 3, sk 3 sts, sc 7.
16-17. Sc 2, ch 3, sk prev chs, sc 7.
18-20. Rep rnds 9-11.
21. Dec around (6).
Cut, leaving a tail for finishing, and pull end through last stitch, but leave open for now.

Legs:
These are crocheted directly onto the top bar, beginning in rounds 6 and 15 of the top bar. Be warned that it is very easy to add a stitch in rounds 1 and 2 – when you are done with round 1, count to 12 back the way you came to make sure you’re stitching into the correct loops.
1. Place sl kn on hk and sl st to join to middle skipped sc in rnd 6 or 15. Sc in same st and next sc (2), in ends of rows once before, between, and after the chs (3, 5 so far), in each rem lp of the chs of rnd 8 or 17 (3, 8 so far), in ends of rows as before (3, 11 so far), and in rem skipped sc of rnd 6/15 (12).
2-14. Sc around (13 rnds; sk sl st of rnd 1!).
15. Dec around (6).
Stuff and FO. After both legs are done, stuff and FO top bar.
