🍍Pineapple flower crochet pattern

Pineapple flower or motif

the repeating unit (one motif)

This motif is a very common feature in crochet. There are so many crocheted items using this motif. So many projects can be done using this lovely flower design. For example, we can make doilies, table runners, table cloths, bedspreads, tote bags, drawstring bags, scarves, tops, sweaters, and skirts with this design. So, it is worth knowing how to make this lovely flower first. Further, you can attach it to the surface of your frocks or blouses to decorate them

It is easy to follow. It only uses the following simple stitches. Chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, shell stitch. But the finished flower will have a magnificent look. You can have modifications of the main design, they also look impressive and decorative. We can learn them one by one.

Instructions to have a chain of pineapple flowers are given below. The maximum width of the finished flower by me is 4.2” (11cm).

A crochet doily

A doily

This is a very nice crochet pattern for a doily. In this sample, the diameter is 7”. I have used a yarn with a thickness of 2mm. and a hook with 1.60 mm. You can use cotton yarn in making these. It is more heat-resistant and washable. Further, it is easy to work with. 

If your yarn is not thick enough you can use 2 strands of the same colour. That is, you can crochet by taking two strands from two skeins with the same type and same colour. 

For one doily of 7” diameter you need less than 25g of yarn.

You can make a set of these and use them on your dining table or sell in an online market. If you are going to sell these online you have to have an online store and way of accepting money. There are some online markets you can join them free. For others, you have to pay a registration fee. Even you can advertise and sell them on your Facebook page also.

Let’s learn how to do this.
