This puff stitch Pineapple Doily crochet pattern is another long overdue pattern I have been wanted to share here. I have developed the pattern in both written and chart form, hope to fulfill the wish of my readers who can read one or the other form of patterns.
A little flashback on the past of this puff stitch Pineapple Doily…. I completed it in 2014, but it took me more than one and half year to figure out if I should share the pattern in written crochet instruction or crochet chart, blame my indecisiveness, I procrastinated. Both pattern instructions are not easy to develop; written pattern can be confusing and I have to be very careful, chart pattern needs time to draw and develop. I ended up set the Pineapple Doily aside and move on with my other crafts.
I took out the puff stitch Pineapple Doily again early this year, thinking that it is a waste not to share the pattern of this beautiful Pineapple Doily with you. I have put quite a significant time on the design, I even crochet a few of them to try out which one looks the best. The puff stitches design in the Pineapple Doily gives the doily a more exquisite texture presence. Take a closer look on both top and bottom doilies, both of them has a slight difference (except the colorwork)…. The puff stitches at the middle of the both doilies are at different round. This Pineapple Doily is well adaptive, you can make puff stitches in any round at the middle of the doily, you can also replace the puff stitch with other similar stitches, eg, bobble and popcorn stitch. Colorwork is another way to make your Pineapple Doily unique.
The puff stitch I crochet in this Pineapple Doily is a slight variation from what’s commonly done by others. I find that it gives a more defined oval shaped puff pellete to the Pineapple Doily. Please read more in the pattern & tutorial page on how I crochet it.
Love the heirloom look that the Pineapple Doily gave, it simply brightens up the table gracefully and tastefully. Afternoon tea, please!!!
p/s: I think it could be a great idea to crochet this pineapple doily into giant doily rug by using clothesline rope, just like the one I did before.
Hi,
Thank you for this pattern, I made them for my wedding invitation. I loved making them. My first one took me 8 hours then by the 80th doily was so much quicker. I will be always thankful for you and the doily pattern. 🙂
Wow, thank you for making this doily as your wedding invitation. How many pieces did you end up making? I am sure your guests will be thrilled on the heart warming handmade you have made for them. Please show us the pictures of your doilies if there is a chance 🙂 I am sooooo looking forward to it.
Hi Lovely,
thanks for this pattern. I have a problem on round 6. the patterns says *ch3, sc in next 3ch sp, repeat* 31 times. ch1, hdc in hdc st of prev rnd.
However, there is no hdc in the previous round anywhere. My work was also curving up in the previous round, but that’s normal with that kind of stitch, so I wasn’t worried too much about it, but part two of this round really makes no sense to me. since there is only the puff stitch in the previous round, I can’t see how could possibly hdc in a (non-existing) hdc…Am I missing something?
Hi Petra, there is a hdc stitch on the previous round pattern, look further to the end of the round.
Very very beautiful doily. I wanna try this pattern, but I haven’t ever tried thread crochet. Can I use dk yarn?
I didn’t try it with dk, probably you will need to eyeball the tension so that the doily can maintain flat when it gets bigger. Also, it will be a big doily if using dk yarn.
Beautiful pattern! I love it so far!
Oddly I’m stuck on the last row…. My picots are coming out spaced in-between the dc’s, not on top of them. I’m not really sure how to place them. How can I correct this?
Thanks!
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie, I can’t really comment without seeing your problem but from your description, I would suspect that you didn’t slip stitch back to the dc stitch after the 3 chains.
I have found a video from yourtube on how to do picot stitch that could help you out. The video shows 2 ways of doing picot stitch, please follow the first type shown in the video to have the picot sit on top of the dc stitch.
Hope this helps.
Hello, I would like to get started on this pattern, however I would like clarification on round 4, where there is an asterisk (dc 1, ch)? Is it calling for a ch? Thanks. If not too much trouble please reply to my email. Thanks

Hi Alicia,
*[dc1, ch] in next st, repeat * 31 times. The * symbol is the start of the repeat, thus, it means that you need to crochet (dc1, ch) for 31 times, dc1,ch, dc1, ch, dc1, ch, dc1, ch…… and so on.
The same instruction of * goes to the rest of the pattern.
Hope this explained.
Happy crochet.
Very beautiful doily! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for your sharing!
What a amazing pattern, Love it!
I got a problem on the 5th row, I can’t make flat… it curve like a wave.
How can I solve this problem? Thank you very much.

Hi Gillian,
It will curve up a little but when you move on to round 6 and so on, it will be straighten up.
Please show me a photo of your round 5 via contact form, I would like to see how bad it gets.
Thank you.
Thank you for your help.
Here is the photo with half round 5

I finished the full round 5, here is the picture.
Thank you very much.
Hi Gillian, as per my previous reply, it will straightened out flat once you have blocked it.
Hi Gillian, yes, it will look like this on round 5. Perhaps yours will ruffle a bit more as you are using heavier weight of yarn but it will straighten out once you block it.
Thank you for you advice.
Much thanks!
Thank for your professional advice.
It looks better after working few more round now.
Thank you.
🙂
I would love to make this into a table cloth, Would i just continue the pineapple and would it work out that way? If not how would I do it? thank you, also, if so, is there a way to make it into square or rectangle? thank you again
That will need more pattern design than simply adding pineapples.
Oh My Goodness- THANK YOU!!!! I found this vis a link on Ravelry. I am so afraid of starting a doily, well… the ones I have tried to do I got down a few rnds and noticed big boo-boos so I ended up just giving it up. I wished I could find a good easy-ish pattern that had both written and charted. I am not good at charts, but with them you can ‘see’ the pattern much easier. Not only have you the chart and the written pattern, you also have images to help along! This is a Godsend. I am bookmarking this page. You are a darling 🙂
Why can’t you find something you can do without stealing patterns from designers who make their living designing?
Hi Juanita,
This is my original design and I didn’t steal someone’s design on the Pineapple Doily. Is there a misunderstanding?
I do not blame you if you thought in this way, the pattern and tutorial are unbelievably to be given free without someone making a living on it…
Please let me know if you still think that it is someone’s else work by proving it with an evidence.
Thank you.
Love it! Going to start on it today!
Thank you for writing the pattern
Hi fatemeh, Please keep us update on your final doily 🙂
How big is the finished product?
Hi Denise,
The finished diameter of the Doily is about 14″ by using #20 thread yarn and 1.5mm hook, as stated in the pattern page.
Thank you for this beautiful pattern, I am learning how to work with thread and this will be be to make
Beautiful work. Thx for the free pattern
My mom and my Grandmother used to crochet this pattern or one similar. I have to go through my cedar chest and find them. It is such a beautiful pattern.
