Crochet doilies are one of the popular crochet patterns many will want to make for their home. I started crocheting with lace thread when I learned this craft in childhood, and doilies are the first few patterns I made for my home. I especially love the pineapple doily design out of all the crochet doilies I have made. And, today, I am sharing this crochet pineapple doily pattern with you. Read on to learn how to crochet.
This puff stitch Pineapple Doily crochet pattern is another long overdue pattern I have wanted to share here. I have developed the pattern in both written and chart form, hoping to fulfill the wish of my readers who can read one or the other form of crochet patterns.
A little flashback on the past of this puff stitch Pineapple Doily… I completed it some time ago, but it took me more than one and a half years to figure out if I should share the pattern in written crochet instructions or in a crochet chart. Both pattern instructions are not easy to develop; the written pattern can be confusing, so, I have to be very careful. The chart pattern needs time to draw and develop. I ended up setting the Pineapple Doily aside and moving on with my other crafts.

I revisited the puff stitch Pineapple Doily early this year, thinking that it was a waste not to share the crochet pattern of this beautiful Doily with you. I have put quite a significant amount of time into 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 at both top and bottom of the crochet doilies; both of them have a slight difference (except for the colorwork)… The puff stitches in the middle of both doilies are at different rounds. This crochet doily is well adaptive, you can make puff stitches in any round at the middle of the doily. You may also replace the puff stitch with other similar stitches, eg, bobble and popcorn stitch. Colorwork is another way to make your doily unique.
The puff stitch I crocheted in this Pineapple Doily is a slight variation from what’s commonly done by others. I find that it gives more defined oval-shaped puff pellets to the doily. Please read more on the pattern & tutorial section below for details 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 doily into a giant doily rug by using clothesline rope, just like the one I did before.

HOW TO CROCHET DOILIES
- This the doily after the 4th round, before the puff stitch (hdc5tog) at round 5.
- Pull the loop to the height of a dc stitch.
- Yarn over, insert hook in the same stitch and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Repeat Pic 3 another 4 times to get a total of 11 loops on the hook.
- Yarn over and draw through first 10 loops on the hook.
- Yarn over and draw through remaining 2 loops on the hook.
A puff stitch is done.
- Continue the next pattern on round 5 by making the 3 ch.
- This is the puff stitch or hdc5tog that I used for this pineapple doily. It is one of the variations in puff stitch as one might do it differently.
- The three main components to form this pineapple doily.

I don't understand your the directions on round 6 can you please explain. Chain 3 then chain 5 ??

It just means chain 8, I split it into ch3 + ch5 so that the first ch3 is counted as a dc stitch, then you make a ch5 chain space in between the dc sts.

@Elisa, it’s there I changed that part because it leaves a more noticeable line. I chain three dc then go to the next steps after double dc. I hate the way the author went up on rows.

Round 8 calls for 1+15+1 puff stitches, so 17 instead of the 16 the photos show and I can't quite figure out how to move on to round 9 since my 8th would have one puff too many if I ended it on one
Craft Passion
Wednesday 25th of August 2021
There are only (15 + 1) 16 puff stitches on Round 8.
