Variations of Ruby's Pineapple Medley

[Crocus58]

I fell in love with this doily, but just couldn't face finishing off 12 individual pineapples . . . so I changed the last few rows - from 23 on . . .

 

Here are my versions:

The red one is a birthday gift for my SIL and the green is a birthday gift for a friend of mine. I started on Monday and finished the second one on Sunday afternoon. Whew!

 

Hope you like them!

I think I like yours better. How exactly did you change it besides the sections between the outer row of pineapples?

Beautiful!!!

[MimiFL]

I absolutely love them! They're gorgeous.

 

Please tell me you jotted down your changes - I love your version of this doily and would love to try my hand at it.

[Crocus58]

Jot down my changes???? Uh - no. I just fiddled around with the increases till I found something I liked that would lay flat . . . . The red and green don't even match . . . .

 

I'm sorry

[MimiFL]

That's ok. I'll go from your picture and try to reproduce it.

[mimicat]

I have been working on this doily for days. Going good until I got to Row 29 and I CANNOT get it. Do you have any suggestions or do you have the written instructions for how you finished yours. I have done all the work to Row 29 and I can not stand the thought of just pullling it out and forgetting it but I have been trying to do Row 29 for 3 days and I am about to pull my hair out. If you can help me anyway I would really appreciate it.
