The pineapple crochet motif is a crochet classic! A symbol of welcome and hospitality, the pineapple became a common theme in home furnishings and needlework. Crocheted pineapples were ubiquitous in the 30s and 40s, and had another resurgence in the 50s with the addition of Hawaii to the US. And then with tiki culture in the 60s, it just kept going and going! But just because it can be retro or vintage, doesn't mean it's stale - the pineapple is fresh, modern, and new in these 10 up to date and free pineapple crochet patterns!

Hi. I have been trying over and over to get the bag pattern, but for some reason, I keep getting a 404 error when it gets to PDF converter! I did the hat pattern with no problem. Help!
Tamara Kelly says
The bag by "e" Lee? You'll want to ask the designer about that - I can't do anything about her blog I'm afraid. I'd suggest asking her directly!

Thanks so much for reposting these pineapple stitch patterns, Tamara. Besides your CAL and other projects I'm doing the Red Heart textured throw CAL. I was looking for a substitute square for the plain grannies that go between the textured squares. The pineapple afghan square is my pick! I love how it's turning out. Thank you!

My mother in law is looking for a pattern of a sweater that is the same stitch and all you have to do is to sew the sleeves up. Could you make a suggestion. She said it was an old pattern, like in 1917. Thank you
Tamara Kelly says
I'm sorry Sandra, I haven't seen any older patterns like that, that I know of.

Hello Christine! Please click on the names of the patterns you like to go to their pages. I cannot send you the actual patterns, as I do not own them and that would be theft.
