🔷 RND 1 — Center Ring

  1. Magic Ring (or ch 4 and sl st to form a ring).

  2. ch 3 (this counts as dc)

  3. Work 11 dc into the ring (12 dc total).

  4. Pull the ring tight.

  5. Join with sl st to top of ch-3.

👉 You now have a solid circle of 12 dc.

🔷 RND 2 — Chain Loop Base

  1. ch 1 (does not count as stitch)

  2. sc in next dc, ch 3

  3. Repeat * around — one sc + ch-3 in each dc

  4. Join with sl st to first sc

👉 Total: 12 sc + 12 ch-3 loops

This gives you evenly spaced loops for the pineapples.

🔷 RND 3 — Small Pineapple Petals

We will now make petal fans in each chain loop.

  1. sl st into first ch-3 loop

  2. Work into same loop:

    • sc

    • ch 1

    • hdc

    • 3 dc

    • hdc

    • ch 1

    • sc

  3. sl st into next loop

  4. Repeat fan in all loops

  5. Join with sl st to first sc

👉 Result: a floral center with 12 petals


🔷 RND 4 — Chain Arches

  1. ch 1

  2. *sc in next sc between petals

  3. ch 5

  4. Repeat from * around

  5. Join with sl st

👉 This round sets us up for the bigger pineapple shape.

🔷 RND 5 — Big Pineapple Fans

This is the classic pineapple part.

Alternate these two patterns around:

Pattern A (big fan):

  • Into ch-5 space:

    • sc

    • ch 1

    • hdc

    • 5 dc

    • hdc

    • ch 1

    • sc

Pattern B (connector):

  • Into the next ch-5 space:

    • sc

    • ch 3

    • sc

Repeat Pattern A then Pattern B all the way around.

Join at end with sl st.

👉 Now your motif has a lacy texture and pineapple arches.


🔷 RND 4 — Chain Arches

  1. ch 1

  2. *sc in next sc between petals

  3. ch 5

  4. Repeat from * around

  5. Join with sl st

👉 This round sets us up for the bigger pineapple shape.

🔷 RND 5 — Big Pineapple Fans

This is the classic pineapple part.

Alternate these two patterns around:

Pattern A (big fan):

  • Into ch-5 space:

    • sc

    • ch 1

    • hdc

    • 5 dc

    • hdc

    • ch 1

    • sc

Pattern B (connector):

  • Into the next ch-5 space:

    • sc

    • ch 3

    • sc

Repeat Pattern A then Pattern B all the way around.

Join at end with sl st.

👉 Now your motif has a lacy texture and pineapple arches.


🔷 RND 6 — Tall Loops for Next Fan

  1. ch 1

  2. sc in first sc

  3. ch 7, sc in next sc

  4. Repeat around

  5. Join with sl st

👉 Tall chain loops made — ready for top fans.

🔷 RND 7 — Top Fans (Finish Shape)

Into each tall chain loop:

  1. sc

  2. ch 2

  3. 3 dc

  4. ch 2

  5. sc

  6. Join around with sl st

👉 Motif looks circular again, but we are about to square it.


🔷 RND 8 — Squaring the Motif

We will convert the round to a square shape by placing extra stitches at corners.

  1. ch 3 (counts as dc)

  2. dc in next two stitches

  3. Corner:

    • 3 dc

    • ch 3

    • 3 dc

  4. dc in the next 3 stitches

  5. Next Corner:

    • 3 dc

    • ch 3

    • 3 dc

  6. Continue around — you will have 4 corners total

Join with sl st.

👉 Motif is now a square!

🔷 RND 9 — Tidy Edging

  1. ch 1

  2. sc evenly around the square

  3. In each corner ch-3 space: 3 sc

  4. Join with sl st

  5. Fasten off and weave in ends

This makes a neat, stable edge ready for joining to other motifs.

Optional RND 10 — Scallop Border

If you’ll use the squares for a shawl or runner that needs a soft edge:

  1. *skip 2 sc

  2. 5 dc in next sc

  3. skip 2 sc

  4. sc in next sc*

  5. Repeat around

  6. Join and fasten off

👉 This gives a decorative scallop edge.


📐 LAYOUT PLANNING

Example Sizes

Runner

  • width: 4 motifs

  • length: 12 motifs

  • total: 48 motifs
    Adjust to your desired size.

Shawl

  • width: 6–8 motifs

  • length: 14–18 motifs

  • total: 84–144 motifs (optional fringe)

Blouse (Adult S/M/L)

  • bust: measure your finished bust (cm)

  • using motif width W cm

  • motifs_across ≈ bust / W

  • height: 2–4 motif rows depending on style

Example:

  • If W = 10 cm

  • Bust = 96 cm → motifs_across ≈ 10 (5 front + 5 back)

🧵 Part D — Making a Runner

  1. Decide your runner width & length

    • e.g., 40 × 140 cm

  2. Block motifs

  3. Join motifs into rows (Method 1 or 2)

  4. Join rows together

  5. Add border round (sc + optional scallop)

  6. Final block

✨ Runner gets a clean border that frames your lace nicely.

🧥 Part E — Making a Blouse

  1. Decide bust, waist, length

  2. Compute motifs across & down

  3. Make front & back panels:

Front Panel

  • motifs_across = bust / W

  • motifs_down = desired top length

Back Panel

  • Same as front

  1. Join motifs into panels

  2. Seam shoulders & sides

  3. Add edging around neck & armholes (sc or shell)

  4. Optional straps or sleeves

🎀 Keep armholes flexible — use sc rounds to customize shape.


🧣 Part F — Making a Shawl

  1. Decide number of motifs width and length

  2. Join motifs into large rectangle

  3. Add scallop border (optional)

  4. Add fringe if desired

  5. Block lightly

✨ For a shawl that drapes beautifully choose a soft, drapey yarn.

🔹 BORDER OPTIONS (Decorative)

Classic Scallop Border

  1. sc round all around

  2. skip 2 sc, 5 dc in next sc, skip 2 sc, sc in next sc

  3. Repeat round for 2–3 rows

  4. Fasten off and block

📦 YARN ESTIMATE (approximate)

After blocking one motif:

  • weigh it (g/motif)

  • total motifs × g/motif + ~10–15% extra

Example:

  • Motif ≈ 10 g

  • Runner 48 motifs → 480 g + 15% ≈ 550 g


🔔 TROUBLESHOOTING

✔ Motifs vary in size?
👉 Block all and adjust with an extra sc round if needed

✔ Seams rub bulky?
👉 Use mattress stitch or join-as-you-go with ch-1 slack

✔ Corners misaligned?
👉 Make sure RND 8 squares it evenly

✔ Edges ripple?
👉 Add a stabilizer sc round before scallops

🎨 VARIATIONS & IDEAS

✨ Color stripes: Change motif color every 6 motifs
✨ Gradient lace shawl: Arrange motifs in color gradient
✨ Add beads: Crochet beads on pineapple tops
✨ Blouse with sleeves: Add extra motif rows for sleeve panels
