The pineapple stitch is one that lends itself well to airy and light crocheted items, such as this shawl. Its beautiful, roughly triangular shape and frilly edges are reminiscent of a butterfly’s wings. It’s a very attractive item that’s not unduly difficult to make. The I Promise You Pineapples Shawl will be a favorite on a chilly summer evening or in front of the fireplace in the fall.

FAQ
Is the pineapple stitch suitable for beginners?
This pattern is best for intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with lacework and reading charts or detailed row instructions.
Can I use heavier yarn to make a winter version?
Yes, but it will lose the lacy look. DK or light worsted yarn can make a cozy wrap, but you’ll need to adjust the hook size and expect less drape.
Does this shawl require blocking?
Yes. Blocking is crucial for opening up the pineapple motifs and defining the stitchwork.
