Thanks to Maria Merlino‘s Pineapple Lovers and Haters Group, I got to meet lots of lovely people who adore the pineapple motif in crochet! There I met BonnieSD who was then looking for a pineapple pouch/bag. I made several lacy pineapple pouches to give away last Christmas, and so now I thought that could re-create the design and write the pattern.

It wasn’t easy! I started with two strands of cotton thread 8 and the pouch started looking big and the multiples were all wrong. I have never ripped up a project so many times before! Then finally, working with single strand thread, I managed a simple lacy pineapple pouch, shaped beautifully, and wrote down the pattern.

If you would like to test this pattern, please do and let me know if you run into any problems or if you find an error. I would also like to see the pouch in other types of thread, even in slightly heavier weight. I paste the pattern instructions below.

Use a ribbon tie with this crocheted Pineapple Pouch, or starch it to make a small lacy vase!

Make crocheted jewelry such as a bracelet or necklace.

The crocheted lace may be used as is with variations made by crocheting with different types of thread. In these examples, two types and color of thread are used – white cotton with gold, and beige rayon thread. In both cases, beads are used for embellishment, and a wood bead and crocheted loop for clasp.

Other variations may be fancy bracelets and necklaces crocheted with colorful yarns and chunky beads.
