That is a wonderful choice! The Pineapple Motif<\/strong> is one of the most classic and admired lace patterns in crochet. When framed within a square, it becomes a versatile block perfect for joining into elaborate blankets or beautiful shawls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will detail a step-by-step tutorial for the Pineapple Square Motif<\/strong>, focusing on how the circular lace pattern is elegantly contained within the sharp, square frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf4d Elegant Pineapple Square Motif Tutorial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This pattern is worked from the center outward, first establishing the lace pineapple shape, and then squaring off the corners in the final rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part 1: Establishing the Circular Pineapple Motif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Round 1: Foundation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Start:<\/strong> Make a Magic Ring<\/strong>. ch 4<\/strong> (counts as 1 tr). Work [3 tr, ch 3, 4 tr]<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Finish:<\/strong> Pull tail tight. Sl st to the top of the beginning ch 4. (8 tr total).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Round 2: Setting the Spokes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. ch 1<\/strong>. sc<\/strong> in the same st. ch 4<\/strong>. Skip 3 tr.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Work [sc in the ch-3 peak, ch 4, skip 3 tr, sc in the next tr]<\/strong>. ch 4<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Finish:<\/strong> Sl st to the first sc. (3 ch-4 loops created).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Round 3: Building the Shell Fan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The central ch-4 loop will become the large pineapple fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-4 loop. ch 3<\/strong> (counts as dc). Work 6 dc<\/strong> into the same loop. (7 dc total).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Anchor:<\/strong> ch 1<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> into the next ch-4 loop. ch 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Pineapple Fan:<\/strong> Work 12 tr<\/strong> into the next ch-4 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Anchor:<\/strong> ch 1<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> into the next ch-4 loop. ch 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Finish:<\/strong> Work 7 dc<\/strong> into the first ch-4 loop (completing the anchor shell). Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the ch 3. (14 dc total anchor stitches).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Round 4: Starting the Lace Netting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          This is the first round of the characteristic pineapple mesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. sl st<\/strong> over the next 7 dc stitches<\/strong> (to move past the first anchor shell).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Anchor:<\/strong> ch 1<\/strong>. sc<\/strong> in the ch-1 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Netting:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong>. Skip 1 tr. Work sc<\/strong> in the next tr.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Repeat:<\/strong> [ch 3, skip 1 tr, sc in the next tr]<\/strong> 5 more times. (6 ch-3 loops created across the fan).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Anchor:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> in the ch-1 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Repeat:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong>. sc<\/strong> in the ch-1 space on the opposite side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. Finish:<\/strong> Sl st to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Round 5: Tapering the Pineapple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            We decrease the chain loops to narrow the pineapple shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. ch 1<\/strong>. sc<\/strong> in the same st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Netting:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> into the next ch-3 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Repeat:<\/strong> [ch 3, sc in the next ch-3 loop]<\/strong> across the top of the fan. (You will have 5 loops).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Anchor:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> in the next sc anchor. ch 3<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            5. Finish:<\/strong> Sl st to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              Part 2: Squaring the Motif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Round 6: Introducing Corners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              We use the taller tr<\/strong> stitches in four points to pull the circle into a square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-3 loop. ch 1<\/strong>. sc<\/strong> in the loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Side:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> in the next sc. ch 3<\/strong>. sc<\/strong> in the next ch-3 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Corner Side:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> in the next 3 ch-3 loops (across the top).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. First Corner:<\/strong> Work [tr, ch 2, tr]<\/strong> into the center (3rd) ch-3 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              5. Repeat:<\/strong> Now reverse the pattern to create the remaining three sides and corners, placing the corner (tr, ch 2, tr)<\/code> into the corresponding center loop on each quadrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              6. Finish:<\/strong> Sl st to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Round 7: Final Frame<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                This round stabilizes the square using DC stitches across all sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. ch 3<\/strong> (counts as dc). Work dc<\/strong> in every sc, and work 1 dc<\/strong> into every ch stitch along the sides until you reach the corner space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Corner:<\/strong> Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)<\/strong> into the ch-2 corner space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Repeat:<\/strong> Work [dc in every stitch\/chain across the side, Corner (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)]<\/strong> 3 more times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Finish:<\/strong> Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3. Fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Final Steps: Blocking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Blocking is mandatory<\/strong> for the Pineapple Square Motif. Wet the finished piece, pin the lace netting to open it up, and firmly pin all four corners into a sharp 90-degree angle. Allow it to dry completely. This process will beautifully define the intricate pineapple lace within the stable square frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
