Pineapple Part 2:
With the bottom of the pineapple facing away from you, fasten your yarn in the last st of row 3.
- 1. ([Ch 2, dc, dc] in the same st, sl st in the next st) Repeat until the end of the row (6 times), do not cut the yarn.
- 2. Crochet straight up into the last st of row 5 from row 3 to make a seamless transition. [Ch 2, dc, dc] in the same st, sl st in the next st) repeat until the end of the row (12 times), do not cut the yarn.
- 3. Continue the same process until row 19
Pineapple Part 3:
With the bottom of the pineapple facing towards you, fasten your yarn in the first st of row 21.
- 1. [Ch 10, starting in the second st from the hook, sc 9, sl st in next st, ch 14, starting in the second st from the hook, sc 13, sl st in next st] Repeat these 4 steps until the end of the row (3 times)
- 2. [Sc 9 up the side of the leaf, [sc, dc, sc] in the same st, sc 8 down the other side of the leaf, sl st in the same st as you sl st'd in on the previous row. Sc 13 up the side of the next leaf, [sc, dc, sc] in the same st, sc 12 down the other side of the leaf, sl st in the same st as you sl st'd in on the previous row] repeat this process for the next 4 leaves.
Fasten off and tie in loose ends.
Details:
- If you prefer to add the safety eyes now with glue, add them to row 12 with 8 rows in between.
- Using color C, add the eyebrows in the leaves you made in row 16 (two rows of leaves up from the eyes). Make a horizontal st across the leaves that sits next to the one directly above the eye.
- Add the rosy cheeks by making a horizontal st (color D) in the leaves below the eyes, go over the same st one more time.
- If you'd like a mouth you can simply bend down some of the leaves in row 7 to make a little gap, how cute! And TA-DA you're done!
