Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Foundation: Start with a secure slip knot
and chain the required number of stitches according to the diagram/pattern
instructions.
2. Building the Motif: Follow the rows carefully,
working the foundational stitches that set up the distinctive pineapple body.
Pay close attention to the open mesh stitches which give the design its airy,
delicate texture.
3. Shaping the Pineapple: Gradually work through the
decreases and increases to form the signature pointed top and textured base of
the motif.
4. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn, leaving a
short tail. Use your tapestry needle to neatly weave all loose ends into the
back of the work for a clean, professional finish.
Block your
finished coaster lightly with a damp cloth to accentuate the delicate lace
pattern and sharp geometry of the pineapple design.
