50 Fabulous Pineapple Motifs To Crochet From Leisure Arts

Good morning! Who loves pineapples? I must admit I am a little obsessed with them. I love the way they look, I love the challenge of having to hold the count in my head and I really love the versatility of what you can make with them. 

I have made a shawl, or two, and a chair doily in pineapple designs and was looking for my next project. I found an awesome book at Leisure Arts that has me in pineapples for a long time to come. 50 Fabulous Pineapple Crochet Motifs has some adorable and very elegant designs that would be suitable for framing! 

I was totally taken by the beauty of the design called Mystical Pineapples, and they even have a moth and butterfly! Totally stunning, you will even find an owl, I know many of you are just crazy about owls. Plus, if you want to do something really unique, there is a three dimensional flower called Pineapple Water Lily.   

The instructions are very well written and easy to follow. Plus, I have found that in working with designs like this, you can really use a wide variety of yarns and hooks and your project will range from something bookmark size to something you can throw on te back of a chair. So with these 50 motifs you could make hundreds of unique projects. 

Have you tried pineapples yet? I would love to hear about the beautiful things you have made. 

Take some time to browse Leisure Arts' great selection and make sure you also connect with Leisure Arts on Facebook and Twitter so that you never miss a special or new pattern! Also, if you sign up for their knitting or crochet newsletters, you get a free pattern on Fridays!

  1. How I wish I could crochet. Before arthritis, I was a knitter, but alas no more. I agree with you that the Pineapple motifs are great, and thanks for sharing.
