Pineapple doily

Here’s how to crochet pineapple doily! This is a doily pattern with many variations, from easy to difficult skill level. In this tutorial you will learn to make an easy one!

The pattern is courtesy of Drops Design Garnstudio.

I recommend using non-mercerized cotton for the pineapple doily. It means untreated yarn and to me it looks and feels more natural than the mercerized cotton. I found my perfect light green and pink colors among Anchor Crafts cotton selection (made in Hungary). It’s about the same size as Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread 10 or Lion Brand cotton bonbons. One ball of 50 grams is enough to make one doily.

The pineapple doily definitely needs blocking after you finish it. I usually make the doily wet, stretch it out on blocking mats and attach it with pins. I also spray some starch to give it extra firm shape but that is optional.

I hope you have fun crocheting this pineapple doily!
