[racerose]

Droooool... I love this pineapple Christmas Tree. Has anyone ever made anything like this? I've never used the fabric stiffener with thread crochet.

Oh wow ... that's amazing. I can't imagine making something like that!

[mythunderbird]

i have made a angel like that, is not that hard to stiffen the thread. i used a product called stiffy, works really good. you can also use starch as it will also work. but you should not be afraid to try it. i bet you could make it:manyheart

I have made Angels and snowflakes. I have wanted to make that tree, but haven't gotten around to it.

 

 

Anyway, I use a product called Aleene's Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid. With this, if I need to, I can also add water to make it thinner. You can also use Elmer's glue and water. That is suppose to work.

Someone told me to use sugarwater for a stiffener. Didn't tell me about the ants....

[dixieredhead]

I used the glue and water mixture on my snowflakes this year. It really does a great job. Just remember equal parts. That tree is wonderful. I'd like to try that sometime myself.

that's a beautiful Christmas tree!!!!!

[Kimberly]

What a beautiful tree! I've not gotten up the courage to try anything like that....one of these days!

[sissymamma]

Wow! That is so beautiful! I've never seen anything like it.

[LadySox]

absolutely gorgeous!

[misssmaggie]

That is so pretty!!!

[Paralee]

Wow, that is gorgeous! I have used the glue and water stiffener. It's a little messy, but works really well.

[MaryPat]

I made this tree and stiffened it with Aeleene's (sp?) Stiffener. It was easy to stiffen. That pineapple pattern is so much prettier.

[frogsrock]

wow

 

but omg that price tag... personally i couldnt bring myself to spend $16 on a pattern

[Misty.Creek]

The $16 includes the thread, beads AND pattern, which might be a bit easier to swallow.

[jackie b]

That is stunning... how do I get the pattern

[Granny Square]

The original post is 8 years old, so I don't know if it is available ( couldn't find it ), but she mentioned she got it at Herschnerrs as a kit

[silverbelle29]

Here is a kit on ebay...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pineapple-Christmas-Tree-Crochet-Kit-w-Beads-11x10-5-/380769729619?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a7a4fc53

 

Also if you do a search on ebay for a "crochet pineapple Christmas tree pattern",  the written pattern only is for sale cheaper than this kit.

I just looked (again) on Herrschners' site, it is (still) no longer offered - that would be the best place to inquire about it. (the original post on this thread is 15 years old)  I also looked on Ravelry and didn't find anything close there, either.

Does anyone know where to get the pattern for this beautiful tree? Please!!

Sorry Maggs but this is out of print from a year 2000 pattern. Your best bet is to write directly to Herrschner's. Copies of the pattern, which is copyright infringement, are evidently being sold around the world such as Russia and Italy just to name a few. Here's a photo of the info for the company if you decide to contact them. Hope this helps you.
