My Pinapple shawl for MIL

[sem464]

This isn't all wompy jawwed like it looks. Just a bad pic. Yes, it does have flaws, but turned out pretty good all the same. My MIL is a tiny person, but I figure she can wrap up. She always carries a sweater, because she gets cold. I figure this shawl she can wear with everything!

Believe me when I tell you "You can do it". This pattern really is not bad. Just remember to make the changes listed here

 

Pattern correction:

at the begining on row 1 its suppose to be ch3, 16 dc in ring, ch 3 turn

round 2 is dc in next 15 dc

round 3 should be a total of 34 dc counting the turning ch

 

When I did a test for Stacey I came up with 15 dc in ring, giving you 15 dc for row 2. Row 3 would have a total of 32 dc. The only thing to remember is that you should end up with 11 spokes for your pineapples. So just check it there to know for sure.

The shawl is gorgeous!! What kind of yarn did you use and what size hook? I just have to try this. I just can't decide on the color - they all look so wonderful!!

Thank you for the comments. I used Simply Soft (about 2 1/2 skeins) & J hook. It works up pretty easy.

It IS beautiful! I wish I knew someone who's appreciate it; I'd love to practice pineapples, and big ones would be easier. Super job! Patty

Thanks, I used Simply Soft. Even though it is big, it drapes really well.

That's impressive! I'd like to make a christmas gift for my MIL, and a pineapple pattern shawl would fit the bill, just don't know if I could pull it off!

[pidot]

I like your shawl! i hope i can do something like this too!

[sem464]

this can be done by all. not any really tricky stitches. ch, sc, dc & trc. Please try it, you will be pleasantly surprised!

[Yarn Angel]

Yay Shari!!!!!

 

Your Shawl turned out beautiful! You know, mine had a couple of flaws too but unless you study it stitch by stitch you would never know! I love the way the Simply Soft shimmers and drapes and is so silky soft. Good job!

It looks beautiful. Hope your MIL enjoys it!
