Pineapple Stitch

[fc1123]

Ok I was on Crochet Pattern Central and looked at the pineapple stitch so I'm wondering how easy is the pineapple stitch to do it looked easy to do but I just wanted a 2nd opinion

[GrammyT]

I think it is easy. It is my favorite and you realize that if you seen alot of the things that I have crocheted. I would strongly encourage you to try it as you will be hooked. Good luck.

I'm glad to know this. .as someone has asked me to make a baby afghan in pineapple..still looking for the right instructions

[JoBug]

Hi sweetie,

The Pineaple stitch is one of my ALL TIME favorites, it is a beautiful design. And once you get the hang of it, you RARELY have to look at the directions!! Good luck finding the perfect pattern, if you need help, PM me, I have a booklette that has a wonderful Pinneaple ghan pattern in it that I have used to make a baby ghan out of in baby yarn.

HUGS and WELCOME

Careful, the pineapple STITCH reference in CPC is different than the pineapple PATTERN style that most of us are familiar with. I have never tried the stitch, which looks like it would make a very thick fabric for an afghan or maybe a rug.

I love the pineapple. It is easier than it looks. I did a baby blanket with it. The baby blanket was in a book called "Heirloom Baby Blankets" by The Needlecraft Shop. You may be able to find it online somewhere. I have seen it on ebay but not very often.

I haven't tried the first, but the second is easier than it looks!

I've never heard of the pineapple stitch. I've done a lot of pineapple patterns, though.

I love doing pineapples. The motifs and solid projects. Once you get the hang of how the patterns go it is simple and easy. Oh! Try them you will love doing them.

I tell people that pineapples are Deceptively Simple. They look so intricate yet they are so easy to make.

This pineapple stitch is so different than one I was taught. It is done in multiples of 2 chains plus four more at end for turning. turn, yo, pullup a loop (in the 4th chain) 4 times in that same ch.

then yo and pull through 8 loops. yo and pull through remaining 2 loops. ch 1 keep making pineapples across row (with a chain 1 between) then ch 3 and turn.

On next row make the pineapple in the ch sps of the row below, a pineapple in the sp of the turning chain space, ch 3 and turn. just repeat row 2 until you reach the desired length.

They are alot like Acorns to me, .
