If you are new to crocheting and want to make some beautiful patterns, the first thing you need to do is learn to read and understand patterns. We will learn this using the pineapple pattern using a hook. Believe me, there is nothing difficult about this. Very soon you will easily understand the most complex-looking patterns and patterns.

The symbols on the diagram are easy to understand. For example, an air loop is drawn in the form of a circle or oval. The chain of air loops will look like an arc. And the number below it will indicate how many loops need to be knitted. A double crochet on the plan is indicated by a stick with a line crossed out at the top. If you need two yarn overs, then draw another line. How many yarn overs are needed - so many dashes. These are the main loops with which you can knit the simplest “pineapple” pattern. Over time, your skill will rise to the point of creating your own masterpieces. And for this you need to watch a detailed video on reading diagrams, which will be a little further.

We crochet a pineapple with a pattern: what is this pattern

Let's look at the pineapple pattern in a little more detail. Delicacy, lightness, and sophistication make this pattern a real find for lovers of thread and crochet. You can use it to create decorative tablecloths and napkins. Various variations of this motif are well suited for the design of skirts, shawls and tunics. Things made using this technique are distinguished by their extraordinary airiness and femininity. It is considered the most universal and popular, since it is convenient to expand the details of any product.

In the diagram, the pineapple has three elements:

1. Leg.
2. Central triangular element.
3. Framing.

The leg can be either short, consisting of just one row, or long. Some legs contain up to 15 rows. By changing the length you can easily change the shape of the rapport. The main decoration is in the central triangle. It is this that makes the pattern recognizable. There are many options for its implementation. It can be knitted with arches of air loops, fillet mesh, lush columns and many other techniques. Very often it is additionally decorated with beads, beads and other improvised means. You can show your imagination and come up with something of your own. Next is the framing. The word speaks for itself. Basically, columns of lush bushes or straight stripes are used for it. Any options are possible.

You can very well understand everything with the help of a video tutorial. First, watch instructional videos that explain how to read the diagrams. It will be useful for both beginners and experienced craftsmen. The video that follows is just for beginners. In a form accessible to everyone and with all the details, a step-by-step guide is given on how to crochet one of the variants of the pineapple pattern. Watch and learn.

Diagonal pineapple pattern.

One of the most common styles is pineapples arranged strictly diagonally. Widely used on clothing items. It just seems simple in appearance. In fact, making such a pattern in a flat fabric is somewhat difficult. This is explained by the fact that you must always carefully monitor the even execution of knitting along the edges of the product. This is where the involuntary addition or subtraction of loops occurs, which leads to a distortion of the overall pattern.

Circular fabric in “pineapples”.

When knitting any item of clothing, you often have to expand or narrow the product. This is where our pineapple pattern fits in better than ever. Because of this convenience, it is often used in many circuits. It is suitable for creating many wide skirts, dresses, berets and shawls. Knitting in the round is also often used in decorative arts. Very beautiful bedspreads and curtains are knitted this way. Napkins are very popular among needlewomen.

To expand the circular fabrics, you need to evenly add posts and loops along the width of the entire row. Different schemes require different techniques:

1. Increasing the size of the pattern.
2. Expanding the spaces between rapports.
3. Gradual creation of new patterns.
4. Knitting intermediate rows, followed by an increase in the number of repeats.

All of these methods can easily be applied to the pineapple pattern. The arc created by the framing allows you to start a new element immediately after the previous one. Where there is more than one row of pineapples in the diagrams, this is how this feature works.

Previously, video lessons have already been given on reading patterns and learning to knit using a pineapple pattern using a crochet hook. Next, we have prepared for you a selection of master classes where you can see how some elegant wearables or household items are created in practice. By repeating the lesson step by step, you will quickly and easily learn how to knit the motif you like. Good luck in learning and in the subsequent creation of openwork masterpieces!

“Pineapple” is considered one of the most common openwork patterns in crocheted needlework. It's all about not only the relative simplicity of knitting it, but also the final result of the process - a “pineapple” pattern made using any of the many patterns turns out to be truly magnificent!

What is the pineapple pattern? The specified openwork crochet element is used both in the classic wedge-shaped form and in a modified form - improved in shape, degree of density and size. At the same time, any “pineapple” scheme will contain three main components:

• leg - a fan-shaped solid base, all columns of which have a common beginning (can be a double crochet stitch, a double crochet stitch or a double crochet stitch). It can be short (knitted from 1-2 rows) or modified (elongated), including up to 15 rows and giving the pineapple an elongated shape;
• the central triangle is the decorative part of the “pineapple” with the main pattern (can be solid or openwork). Knitted from fillet mesh, arches from air loops, lush columns, “bushes” and many other patterns;
• the frame is a kind of “pineapple” frame, which is often knitted from “bushes” and is the common boundary for combining adjacent pineapple motifs.

The size of the future “pineapple” depends on how many double crochets are tied at the base; more double crochets mean a larger pineapple. There are plenty of options for knitting a pineapple - this pattern is knitted in the usual way, in a checkerboard pattern, in a spiral, with or without expanding the fabric.

Scope of application of the “pineapple” pattern

"Pineapple" is ideal for knitting flat or expanding fabrics. That is why it is often used in knitting models of women's and children's clothing (blouses, skirts, dresses, tunics, capes, shawls, boleros), as well as to create original interior decoration items (napkins, tablecloths, pillows, bedspreads, curtains and drapes).

You can learn how to knit a pineapple pattern quite quickly. We recommend starting with knitting the simplest items - kitchen napkins, after mastering which you can move on to more complex projects. We offer several detailed master classes on knitting “pineapple” patterns using the following examples: a butterfly napkin, an original Christmas tree garland, an exclusive collar, as well as two stylish models of a women’s wardrobe - a bright vest and an elegant blouse.

This motif is created in various ways. There is only one requirement left - regardless of the method of execution, the result should be a pattern similar in shape to a pineapple.

Crochet pineapple pattern for beginners

The best way to learn how to crochet a pineapple is with crochet hook No. 1-2 and “Iris” cotton thread. For a looser knit fabric, you can use a hook with a lower number.

The following diagram shows the design options

At first glance it may seem that tying a pineapple is very difficult, but this is not so. If you patiently understand the diagram and its symbols, then even a beginner will be able to cope with this task the first time.

You should start with square motifs. Here knitting will occur in a circle from the center to the edges. The result will be a wonderful napkin or bed cover

Crochet blouse

Once you have mastered the technique of knitting the pineapple motif, you can begin more complex tasks - for example, knitting a blouse. To do this, it is enough to know where to add and decrease loops. For clothing size S you will need about 300 grams of yarn. In order for the product to fit perfectly, you may have to redo the work.

You should start with simple patterns, and as you acquire the skills of knitting a given pattern, move on to more complex ones. For example, to knit a summer blouse, your hand must be trained so as not to tighten the loops too much. Then the canvas will be smooth.

Pineapple pattern scheme

These blouses are crocheted in the round. Knitting always starts from the neckline. We cast on a chain of 199 chain stitches, and then perform three rows of chains of 7 loops in this section. You should get 50 small chains. Then we knit as the diagram shows until the fabric reaches a length of 19 cm. The result is 15 repeats and 5 complete rows. We made the back element. Next, we continue to knit the motif in the round - we make 2 rows, decrease and knit 3-4 rows.

Now we separate the loops that go to the sleeves and knit the sleeves themselves. To do this, at the level where the notch is located, we cast on 22 loops and connect the edges. Then we continue knitting in the round, as the diagram shows.

The tunic is knitted in the same way, only after the waist it is necessary to increase the number of loops so that it fits well to the figure.
