I swear no one does tutorials like you do! You are wonderful and thorough. You go at a great pace and I truly feel like I can tackle anything with your guidance! You’re an absolute god send! Thank you so much for your hard work and patience and dedication to your subscribers. And you always stay true to you. Watching a tutorial by you is like sitting down with an old friend and I know so many would agree with me!! Thank you thank you!!
I absolutely love your tutorials!! They are straight to the point, no teaching how to stitch, just making the garment! Plus the bits of humor are on point. I am a yarnivore that's for sure. So many tutorials are boring, over discussions on yarn, and so on. Looking forward to the next one!
I agree on that! They waist so much time talking the yarn that I have fast forward to get stressed on the project. Spider I can't say enough about you you're AWESOME!!!! I love your humor too!!!
This is the hardest pattern that I've ever Attempted... But my daughter convinced me I could do it! I've never had to take out so may rows to fix a mistake...I found of course two rows back...I finally stopped at the end of each row to check that every single stitch was right and both sides matched Stitch for stitch...but I did it!!! Thank you so much...I would never have been able to do it on my own...again thank you thank you...can't say it enough!
I am doing two projects by fiber spider the lost souls shawl for my friend and this one, both of these tutorials are easy to follow and I love his jokes. I do pause every now and then because I am a slow crocheter. This spiderette is still learning and I am glad he puts his expertise out there. Thank you Fiber Spider I appreciate your help.
Thank you for ALL your videos. Very thorough, easy-to-follow pace. I’m binging on your crochet shawls...while knitting a vest. It’s my thing. I watch crocheting when I’m knitting and knitting when I’m crocheting....love 🧶
by far, this is the BEST pineapple tutorial I have watched. the built-in cluster edging is a huge plus and gives a great finished look!! thank you so much!! ((PS: After over 30 years of crocheting, I'm finally going to attempt this once-tabu pattern!!!))
I've been looking for a new shawl pattern for a gift for my best gal pal. She's special so I need something extra gorgeous and this may be it. However. I'm loving your trellis shawl too. So pretty. You are a wonderful teacher
Thank you, once again, my favorite Spider-Man ... made this is bright Christmas red (blue-red, not orange-red), sewed white teardrop pearls on the edge to dangle from the holes in border, and wore over white pant suit for a special party. Amazing compliments !!! Your long-suffering with us is tremendously appreciated by all. HUGS, SOS
First thing...I love your video tutorials and I've already made quite a few of them... But this one was...in a word...nightmare!!! I spent as much time taking it out as I did crocheting it...actually put it away for several months and did six shawls before coming back to it...now I'm going to finish it. Thanks for giving me the confidence to be able to just figure it out!!! You're doing a great job😘
I have to send my thanks to you FS. I spent an hour following another tutorial of someone else. I finally gave up because she was hard to follow. Luckily I spied yours and gave it a whirl. Low and behold I'm on my merry way creating this beautiful shawl. I cant thank you enough.
I'm a true rookie to the world of crochet. Bought the supplies.. tried here and there but was never successful. Here I am at row 14 n it looks amazing!! I even figured out the pattern by the end of it. Thank you so much! Can't wait to finish this
+S May way to go! I'm delighted to have helped and glad the world has another yarnivore, lol. Just remember that crocheting like many crafts take time, patience and humility. Take your time and grow as you go, you can do it! 😉
I can't believe I'm crocheting this w/o a chart or pattern. Amazing. The Row/time list is handy. I made my own with a few more facts added to each row. WOW what a great tutorial! THANK YOU Tip: After I finish each row, I fold it over and make sure that each part of the row matches perfectly. Just a handy quick mistake finder.
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial..You just happen to be my favorite guide. You seem to fully understand what might confuse us and what might be tricky ...and you simply take us through it all ...Thank you for the effort and it's strange but the voice while crocheting following your video is kind of relaxing... Keep it up my friend... Greetings from Egypt!! :)
You are such a sweetheart, Thank You so much for your full tutorial, you never leave us hanging and say well just repeat these rows. Thanks again, love your tutorials and always recommend them to my crochet group.
Thank you so much! Actually, I was debating whether or not to put a border on it or not, think it looks nice either way. As for my tension, that came with many years of constant work - several hours every day! 😉
I like that you did add a border. I feel that it creates an actual "end" or "edge" to the work and allows some closer lol. I agree about the tension techniques being developed over the years. It is a craft after all 😊
Honestly ,i've NEVER NEVER seen a crochet video like yours.with such a lot of love for the details,passion,calm,explaining every round very slouly and comprehension....(sorry my english,i'am in swiss country) i wish you the very best and may god bless you deeply.hughs from your greatest fan,💝
Love love love your tutorial videos!! You are so thorough and easy easy to understand. You make an overwhelming project duable. I made the lapping waves shawl my first crochet project (I’m a knitter) flying from NY to California, of course, finished it back in ny. Now the pineapple shawl love❤it does go quickly and love the time stamps for reference. Oh do I mention I love your tutorials😊thank you. I wish I could share a photo of both
Good morning fiber spider from Southern California this is such a beautiful stitch and you described it’s so beautiful and I love that you do a lot of your continuing stitches and show us more how it looks so thank you thank you God bless you
You do the best tutorials thank you so much. My shawl turned out beautifully and I gifted it to my friend who has not been well. Thank you so much Fiber Spider 🌻😊have a lovely day
Thank you so much. I too have watched other videos for this pineapple shawl but as others they were so hard to follow. So yes, I watched yours which was like.... I get it now.... so yes another project on my list. My family also knows that I would rather crochet since it's my touch. Again thank you for all your advice.
I've seen this shawl lots of times but been afraid to try to make it as it looked difficult. Thanks to your clear tutorial and soothing voice you got me through it and I've nearly finished it! thanks so much :)
You are so very welcome, I'm just glad to be of help 😊 Never be afraid to try something different or new - it's how we learn and grow! Keep stitching! 😉☕🕷
Hi Craig! I know this is an older tutorial, but I just wanted to let you know that while its March 2019, I've been enjoying this pattern. I had actually repurposed theLion Brand Mandala yarn (Wood Nymph) from a previous project I had completed because I knew the colors would look fabulous with this pattern. I'm planning on using as much as the 3 cakes I originally purchased to make a super size shawl😱... I'm almost done with the 2nd cake!...I love working with the Lion Brand Mandala yarn cakes and I wanted to thank you for introducing me to this lovely and soft yarn....thank you also for inspiring me to crochet so many wonderful projects from your tutorials!😊👍
Absolutely love this pattern--have a solution for getting the pineapples nice and tight when you finish a pineapple. After completing the cluster on the right side, you slip stitch into the ch-2 space of the next cluster and then put in your cluster. It really helps to keep space between the two clusters almost nonexistent. This pattern is gorgeous when finished and I love the Fiber Spider tutorials. Thank you for your hard work.
I love you, Fiber Spider, your tutorials are unique, clear and user-friendly. I enjoy listening to you explaining (and giggling sometimes). I’ve come out of my comfortzone too for this pineapple shawl, let’s see how I will fare. I’m at the beginning of row 7 now, so hopefully I’ll make it to the end of the shawl 😬🍍. Greetings from rainy Belgium 💦☔️ (but there’s sunshine in my heart). Thank you for the tutorials, x Veronika
Thank you for sharing your tutorial. Its a beautiful work and I finished last night so I thought I might let you know how wonderful and easy to understand with your explanation. I love its and will try more work.
OH, one more thing: Lion Brand Yarn makes a beautiful DK weight yarn called Mandala in colors similar to the Caron Cakes. If you love Caron Cakes, you'll love Mandala as well and it's less expensive. I've made your Fluffy Meringue shawl out of the Mandala color called Wizard and it turned out GORGEOUS. The lady I made it for just adores it. Love all your tutorials and your book readings! Your voice is very melodious and I like your humor.
Here is a super challenge request...please work out a tutorial on the lost in time shawl...please? You are the best to follow along with and make things easy to understand!
just wish we could buy the yarn you use in the UK. Just love your videos and your laid back explanations, thank you for taking the time to show your videos to everyone.
Fiber Spider, thank you so much for this tutorial! You make even complex patterns seem simple. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your amazing videos and I have been inspired to learn and do more with my crochet as I've watched you.
+Aron Rainwater thank you very much! The videos are a lot of work and are time consuming, but it's what I'm passionate about - creating and sharing with others, so it's worth it! I'm glad you are growing as a stitcher as well, never stop learning, and never be afraid to try something new even if it means thinking outside of the box of your comfort zone. 🙂
Excited to finish the pineapple shawl pattern! I will be doing two pieces and making a poncho. I will put a white edging that I found on another project in white. Thank-you so much for your tutorials. They are very easy to follow and I am looking forward to doing more with you ! Once I figure out how to post a picture of my work, I will post it. Take care
I had to undo this pattern and roll it into a ball and start another project. It was too complicated I am 68 and love ❤️ following you. You have greatly helped me to learn to crochet better.
I love it! It looks very elegant and not like. traditional old lady shawl LOL.... I’m on my second shawl in this pattern! So easy! Thanks for posting!!!!!
Hi once again, Craig! I loved this pattern so much that I'm currently using the Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in Teaberry, (inspired by you!) ... the colors are absolutely gorgeous! The border looks like flowers and the pineapples are unique and lovely! ... Perfect for Spring! Thank you again, for all that you do!
I, too, really like your tutorials, as you do have a talent for walking us through steps that others are a bit harder at doing. I noticed on this video, though, that your fingers are shaking and wondered if this was your first video. You do have a knack, though, at doing this.
+StormCat, I thank you, and apologize for the shakiness ( I think it can be attributed to too much coffee and not enough actual eating ), sorry if it made things difficult for you... 🙁
Fiber Spider is the best! prior to making this shall I did a virus shawl with him and a partial single crochet blanket that in still working on. I'm a complete beginner and I've almost completed my pineapple shawl. thank you so much for walking me through the steps and answering me when I was frustrated. I look forward to doing many a project with you! !! I'm thinking of doing some a Northern Lights blanket next! I've still love to do the Lost in time shawl with you. Thank you again! !!!!!!
Thank you Spider this is awesome. Another Christmas present sorted out. Thank you for all that you give us. Now to put the kettle on make me A coffee and grab my hook.
Thank you so much. You really helped me understand the pattern. I was about to give up when I found your video. You are really good at explaining. Thank you! xoxo
Working on my 3rd Pineapple Lace Shawl with Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in 'Moon Mist' ... as with the shawl I had crochet in the 'Teaberry', with each starting cluster, I slipstitched to the center of the cluster before starting a new cluster...the self edging border looks more like flowers😊🌸
Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern. I am crocheting for my Australian friend who needs something light and airy. I have typed up the pattern for anyone who needs to follow instructions - there may be some amendments needing to be made, but if you let me know, I'll make any amendments and repost :-) I need to post in 2 parts, rows 1-16 and then following on with the rest in part 2. I have typed up comments also where I think it's applicable, to help with following the pattern.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, and congratulations on trying something new! 😊 Yes, the growth and repetition are somewhat similar to the virus shawl, and if you like this tutorial I have a video on that one too, lol. Keep up the great work, and I'd love to see our sometime. I'm also on Facebook and Instagram under the same name. Keep Stitching! 😉
I love this design for the shawl and your tutorials. Thank you so much for all of them. :) I started this and followed well until it ended. LOL!! Can not for the life of me figure out how to keep going. Oh well, it was fun getting to where I did. I'll frog it and make something else. Have a Merry Christmas!!!!!
Thank you so much. You are an excellent teacher. Just finishing this up and I'm hoping to work on a shawl called lace grapes. I used red heart cocoa ombre for this pineapple shawl and it turned out beautiful.
Love your tutorials, Fiber! I'm just now trying this pattern and normally I do pretty well following your directions. At the beginning of row 10, it appears that you make a DC but SAY sc, then you make a sc but Say DC. I was going to question this but I'm now thinking that I will follow your actions rather than your spoken word. Ok, no worries! Thanks for your awesome tutorials. You're among my favs!
I just finished mine. I used red heart with love white with the sparkles in it. I think it's called metallic. It's for my wedding on the 20th to go with my wedding dress which I crocheted also in the pineapple Stitch. Thank you so much for this tutorial. My shawl came out stunning.
Again wonderfully done video I've used Caron cake before for a prayer shawl that someone requested in the earth tones the color you are using is equally nice. For some reason the Caron cake don't look appealing in the cake but once you begin to use them the colors are very appealing. This shawl is another beautiful but another intimidating shawl I'm not a beginner crocheter but afraid to do overly complicated work. I've been able to do the virus shawl thanks to you and going to try the dragon wing shawl and webbed lace I've seen other videos on the pineapple and for one they go too fast and their yarn is too fine to see for video purposes. You chose excellent yarn that is easy to see and your instructions are much easier to follow. I thank you so much crocheting is the only thing left for me to enjoy if you have epilepsy and are disabled you need an outlet. Didn't mean to ramble. Thank you again I'll be crocheting the night away! Good day to you
Jeanna Kelly I just want to say you left a wonderfully sweet comment He’s a great teacher and I’m so happy you have crocheting to keep you happy. I too find it very relaxing and comforting though I don’t have a disability. Pat yourself on the back ! I haven’t done the virus shawl yet, I’m too intimidated!! So go you!!! 😄 bless you 🙂
I know it has been awhile since you have done this video, I had been looking at triangle shawls then adding a bodice to sew together for a top/dress for a upcoming wedding this may be the shawl I will use.
Thanks for doing the entire shawl with us because if you didn't I would not have tried it. Wish you would have finished to the end but I loved it. And you are listing to us and helping us. You are growing because you are going step by step and finishing the project with us It does take time but because of you doing that more will be coming to your videos and following you Trust Me
Thank you very much indeed for the lovely feedback! I try hard to do the best that I can, to make the tutorials comprehensive without being long winded. I also try to respond to questions and give advice when I can. It is indeed a lot of hard work, and I do thank you for your appreciation 😊
Thanks for posting this tutorial. It would be helpful to know the finished size of what you're working on. Also helpful to see your finished project on a hanger or on a person in order to visualize it -- before getting started. Also, for those of us not familiar with the yarn brand you're using, how many yards are in a skein? I like your calm teaching style making it easier to keep following you. Thanks again.
Row 17 - Chain 3. Turn work. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. We need to open this out further. If you notice, we have 2 spaces here, a chain 3 and another chain 3 space. In the middle, we have a chain 3 space, another chain 3 space and at the very end we have a chain 3 space and another chain 3 space. That is significant because we now have 3 pineapples that we are building all at the same time. Work a cluster. Chain 3. And then do a DC into ch-3 space, chain 3 do another DC into next ch-3 space and then we do another chain of 3. Into ch-2 space do another cluster. Chain 5, because we are still closing this pineapple up. Do a SC into the ch-3 space, chain 3. SC into the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space. Chain 5. Do a cluster into the next cluster. Chain 3, do a DC into the first ch-3 space and then chain 3. Do a DC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3. Work a cluster on top of the previous cluster. Chain 5. Do a SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3. Chain 5 and do a cluster in ch-2 space. Chain 3, DC into the ch-3 space, chain 3. DC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3. And another cluster on top of the next cluster. What you want to keep in mind is for instance, for the next row, chain up 3 and do a cluster in the cluster. Then because we are still building this pineapple up, you would then do a chain 3, do 11 DCs into this ch-3 space, chain 3, do a cluster, chain 5, go into these last 2 remaining ch-3 spaces, another cluster, and then another 11 DCs etc. We had our 11 DCs and then we would start by doing an increase of 2 in the first and 2 in the last and work your way up. Finish your piece with the middle pineapple. You want to finish by finishing your middle pineapple, where we join our clusters together, where we have the large space, end there. Edging. To finish the edging, do the row that connects the 2 parts together (large V) at the middle pineapple. After you have finished this row, chain 1 and turn work. Slip stitch into the first 3 DCs. Then slip stitch into ch-2 space. Then chain up 3, do a cluster (first chain 3 counts as a DC) do a further 2 DCs, ch-2 and 3 DCs. Chain 1 and then into the next ch-3 do 2 DCs, then chain 1. Into the next ch-3 do 2 DCs, chain 1. Into the next ch-3 space do 2 DCs, keep going across and in every ch-space do 2 DCs, followed by a chain 1. At the cluster, do 2 DCs in ch-2 space, chain 1, 2 DCs. Go directly into the next cluster space and chain 1. Then do 2 DCs, chain 1, 2 DCs. Then proceed for the rest of the top with chain 1, 2 DCs, chain 1, 2 DCs etc. When you hit the next cluster, 2 DCs, chain 1, 2 DCs etc until the end. When you hit the last cluster space, do 3 DCs, ch-2 and 3 DCs.
Colourway bumbleberry (Caron Cakes) 2 skeins of yarn (Each skein of caron cakes is 383 yards/350 meters, 7.1 oz/200 g) Size I crochet hook Scissors Yarn needle Stitch counter Single crochet (SC Double crochet (DC) Cluster stitch (3 DC, ch-2, 3 DC) Chain 2 space (ch-2 space) Chain 3 space (ch-3 space) Row 1 - Start with a slip knot. Start with a chain of 4. 2 x DC into the first chain (the first chain is the one furthest from the hook). Chain 2 and then 3 DC into the same first chain (3 DCs in total). Chain 2. Three DCs (chaining 2 before each DC until you have 4 clusters of DCs in total. In total, you will have 4 clusters of DCs separated by 2 chains. Pull the tail tight to close the round. Row 2 - Chain 3. Turn work. Form a cluster, always start at the beginning and end of every row. Into first ch-2 space work 3 DCs. Chain 2. 3 more DCs in the same space. Start building up the first pineapple. Chain 3. Into the ch-2 space do 1 DC and chain 3. Into the next space do another cluster of 3 DCs. (3 DCs, Chain 2. 3 DCs). Row 3 - Chain 3. Turn work. Work a Cluster stitch (3 DCs into first ch-2 space, ch-2, 3 DCs). Chain 3. Into the next ch-3 space, do a single double crochet and chain 3. Into the next ch-3 space do a single DC and chain 3. Finish off by doing a cluster into the last ch-3 space. Row 4 - Chain 3. Turn work. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. Chain 3. Inside of first middle space do 11 DCs. Make sure you double count and check you have 11 DCs at this stage. Chain 3. Do a finishing cluster in ch-2 space. Row 5 - (This is an increase row). Chain 3. Turn work. Cluster stitch in first ch-2 space. Chain 3. In first DC, do 2 DCs (DC in each of next 9, 2 DCs in last DC (13 DCs in all). Chain 3. Do a cluster stitch in Ch-2 space. Row 6 - Chain 3. Turn. Do a cluster into first ch-2 space. Chain 3. Into the first DC stitch do a SC, chain 3, skip a DC stitch and do a SC in next DC (do all the way across to create gaps - 7 times). Finish row with a chain 3 and go into the last ch-2 space and do another cluster stitch. Row 7 - Chain 3. Turn. Do a cluster stitch in first ch-2 space. Chain 5 (this decreases pineapple). Into ch-3 space do a SC and chain 3( across all DCs 6 times in all, making 5 gaps). Start doing chain 5 after you have worked across into the ch-3 loops). To finish row, chain 5, do a cluster stitch in last ch-2 space. Row 8 - Chain 3 and turn work. Work a cluster stitch in first ch-2 space. We are starting to make the current pineapple in the centre by shrinking it down. We need to create a pineapple on both ends. To do this, we need to create a series of 4 clusters, as at the beginning. To create a new pineapple, do 2 clusters in one (3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs (4 groups of 3) in first ch-2 space. Chain 5, SC into the first ch-3 space. Chain 3. (5 times). Chain 5 and into next ch-2 space do the next group of 4 clusters to finish. Row 9 - Chain 3. Turn work. Just like we did at the beginning, we need to build up our pineapple. Start row 9 by doing our cluster into the first ch-2 space. Then we are going to do just like we did at the very beginning and chain 3. Do 1 DC into the next ch-2 space. Chain 3 and then into the next ch-2 space do a cluster of 3 DCs, Ch-2, 3 DCs. So as you can see, it’s pretty much where we started from, the beginning of a pineapple, but its on the end. The middle one we have to continue to shrink, so in order to do so, chain 5, and into our ch-3 space do a SC, chain 3, working into the gaps until the end (4 gaps). Chain 5. Into the first ch-2 space work a cluster. Chain 3, into the next ch-2 space do a single DC and into next ch-2 space work a cluster. Row 10 - Chain 3 and turn. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. Chain 3, 1 single DC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, do another DC into the next ch-3 space. Chain 3, then another cluster into next ch-2 space. Chain 5. Into first ch-3 space, SC, chain 3, (continue to the end). Chain 5, In next ch-2 space do a cluster. Chain 3, Work a single DC into first ch-3 space, chain 3, another single DC into next ch-3 space, and we chain 3 again, and then we finish off with another cluster in the last ch-2 space. Row 11 - Chain 3 and turn. Into the first ch-2 space work a cluster. Chain 3. Miss first ch-3 space and work 11 DCs into centre space. Chain 3. Work a cluster in first ch-2 space. Chain 5 (as we need to shrink the pineapple), SC into ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into next ch-3 space to the end. Chain 5. Work a cluster into next chain 2 space. Chain 3. Miss next ch-3 space and work 11 DCs into the centre space, (Count there are 11). Chain 3, Finish off with a cluster into the last ch-2 space. Row 12 -Chain 3 and turn. Into the first ch-2 space work a cluster. Chain 3, (into the first and last DC work 2 DCs (2 DCs in the first and 2 DCs in the last, going from 11 to 13). Chain 3. Work another cluster in next ch-2 space. Chain 5. Go directly into last ch-3 space with a SC and chain 5. Work another cluster. Chain 3. (into the first and last DC work 2 DCs (2 DCs in the first and 2 DCs in the last, going from 11 to 13). Chain 3. Finish off row 12 with another cluster within the cluster (3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs). Row 13 - Chain 3. Turn work. Start with a cluster in ch-2 space. Chain 3. Work a SC into the first DC, chain 3. Skip a DC, SC into the next and work across to last DC. Chain 3. Work another cluster of 3 ¬¬¬¬¬¬DCs, ch-2, 3 DCs. Now, we are going to bridge the gap. We are finishing our pineapple here. We don’t do any chains, just go directly into the next cluster and work another cluster. When joining in the centre, you want it to be nice and tight, because if it’s loose, it will ¬look ungainly and it’s difficult to go back and fix once above the rows. Then continue on with the rest of the row. Chain 3, SC into the first DC, chain 3. Skip 1 DC and SC into the next DC, chain 3 and work across to the end. Chain 3 and finish by doing a cluster in the last ch-2 space. Row 14 - Chain 3. Turn work. Do a cluster into first ch-2 space. If you recall, about remembering the tricks of where we change from 3 chains to 5 chains, this is it, because when we get to the end, because we did have 6 ch-3 spaces, well, by going across this time, we end up with 5, hence that is why we need to start this by doing 5 chains, so chain 5. SC into ch-3 space, chain 3, to the end. So as previously, we have 5 ch-3 spaces, hence why we need 5 chains at the beginning. Then chain 5, do a cluster into the next cluster, because we finished the pineapple below, we need to create a pineapple above it. So start by chaining 2, and do a cluster into the cluster ch-2 space. MAKE IT NICE AND TAUT. The creation of new pineapples is something we are going to get into. Chain 5, SC into the first ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into next ch-3 space, SC into next ch-3 space, SC into next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch3 space, SC into the last ch-3 space and chain 5. Do another cluster into the next cluster in ch-2 space. Row 15 - Chain 3. Turn work. As I said before, it’s a matter of increasing and decreasing pineapples. Right now, this pineapple, since we did our chain 5, it is on the closing, the decrease) and because of that we need to start another one at the end. Every time on the pineapple we do a chain 5, we need to create a new one. So again, just like where we have the 4 clusters, that’s what we have to do again, another 4 clusters. Chain 3 and do another group of 4 DCs, separated by 2 chains. So, we did the foundation for the next pineapple and we’re going to continue to shrink this one by starting with a chain 5. Do a SC into the first ch-3 space, chain 3, SC to the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3 and SC into the last ch-3 space. Chain 5 again. Then work a cluster on top of the cluster. We still have to build up this centre pineapple, so ch-2, do a DC into this ch-2 space, chain 2 again, do a cluster into the next cluster space. What we are going to do from here, is chain 5 across, SC into the ch-3 space across to the end of all ch-3 spaces, chain 5 and then because it’s all about symmetry, after you do these here, chain 5 and then into this cluster space, you are going to do 4 groups of 3 DCs, separated by 2 chains, just like at the beginning. Row 16 - Just to recap, we have our chain 5, ch-3 space, ch-3 space etc, chain 5 and then at the end of round 15 we have 4 groups of 3 DCs. So to continue on with row 16, chain 3 and turn work. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. We need to start opening up the pineapple so chain 3, do a DC into the next ch-2 space, 3 chains, and then do another cluster into the next ch-2 space. Continue on closing up the pineapple, so chain 5, work a SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into the next ch-3 space and work across to the end. Chain 5, do a cluster into the next cluster. We are going to build up the base of the next pineapple even more, so we are going to chain 3, and then do a DC into the DC stitch, chain 3, do a cluster into the next ch-2 space, chain 5, SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into the next ch-3 space and work across to end of SCs, chain 5, cluster into the next ch-2 space. Chain 3, single DC into the next ch-2 space, and then end with a cluster. Part 2 to follow
Sorry , Mr. Spider 😊 I was looking for the pineapple shall, but not so pointy in the bottom, or beginning, and I look at your tutorials, and I like the way you teach , slow easy, and I'm a beginner, but I'm almost at 10, row ,, I run out of yarn so I had to ask my daughter for money, maybe I can start next week ,, I'm going to keep doing or try to do some of the tutorials that you teaching ,, I love all of them, 😀🙄☺ thank you
Ok don’t laugh but I have been so stressed that I started this pattern with fibre and his voice just put me to sleep when I woke I had the best sleep and now I have finished this shawl thank you fiber
I swear no one does tutorials like you do! You are wonderful and thorough. You go at a great pace and I truly feel like I can tackle anything with your guidance! You’re an absolute god send! Thank you so much for your hard work and patience and dedication to your subscribers. And you always stay true to you. Watching a tutorial by you is like sitting down with an old friend and I know so many would agree with me!! Thank you thank you!!
I agree with you Kathleen.
Well said. I totally agree
I totally agree. I just sit and watch these beautiful designs and am hoping to make some very soon
I absolutely love your tutorials!! They are straight to the point, no teaching how to stitch, just making the garment! Plus the bits of humor are on point. I am a yarnivore that's for sure. So many tutorials are boring, over discussions on yarn, and so on. Looking forward to the next one!
I agree on that! They waist so much time talking the yarn that I have fast forward to get stressed on the project. Spider I can't say enough about you you're AWESOME!!!! I love your humor too!!!
This is the hardest pattern that I've ever Attempted... But my daughter convinced me I could do it! I've never had to take out so may rows to fix a mistake...I found of course two rows back...I finally stopped at the end of each row to check that every single stitch was right and both sides matched Stitch for stitch...but I did it!!! Thank you so much...I would never have been able to do it on my own...again thank you thank you...can't say it enough!
I am doing two projects by fiber spider the lost souls shawl for my friend and this one, both of these tutorials are easy to follow and I love his jokes. I do pause every now and then because I am a slow crocheter. This spiderette is still learning and I am glad he puts his expertise out there. Thank you Fiber Spider I appreciate your help.
Thank you for ALL your videos. Very thorough, easy-to-follow pace. I’m binging on your crochet shawls...while knitting a vest. It’s my thing. I watch crocheting when I’m knitting and knitting when I’m crocheting....love 🧶
What can I say I have watched many videos on crocheting you are the best thank so very much
by far, this is the BEST pineapple tutorial I have watched. the built-in cluster edging is a huge plus and gives a great finished look!! thank you so much!! ((PS: After over 30 years of crocheting, I'm finally going to attempt this once-tabu pattern!!!))
I've been looking for a new shawl pattern for a gift for my best gal pal. She's special so I need something extra gorgeous and this may be it. However. I'm loving your trellis shawl too. So pretty. You are a wonderful teacher
Sorry my bad it's the arbor shawl
Thank you, once again, my favorite Spider-Man ... made this is bright Christmas red (blue-red, not orange-red), sewed white teardrop pearls on the edge to dangle from the holes in border, and wore over white pant suit for a special party. Amazing compliments !!! Your long-suffering with us is tremendously appreciated by all. HUGS, SOS
First thing...I love your video tutorials and I've already made quite a few of them... But this one was...in a word...nightmare!!! I spent as much time taking it out as I did crocheting it...actually put it away for several months and did six shawls before coming back to it...now I'm going to finish it. Thanks for giving me the confidence to be able to just figure it out!!! You're doing a great job😘
I have to send my thanks to you FS. I spent an hour following another tutorial of someone else. I finally gave up because she was hard to follow. Luckily I spied yours and gave it a whirl. Low and behold I'm on my merry way creating this beautiful shawl. I cant thank you enough.
I'm a true rookie to the world of crochet. Bought the supplies.. tried here and there but was never successful. Here I am at row 14 n it looks amazing!! I even figured out the pattern by the end of it. Thank you so much! Can't wait to finish this
+S May way to go! I'm delighted to have helped and glad the world has another yarnivore, lol. Just remember that crocheting like many crafts take time, patience and humility. Take your time and grow as you go, you can do it! 😉
Great tutorial. Watched lots of other pineapple stitch videos and none of them made sense. Yours does! Thank you
I can't believe I'm crocheting this w/o a chart or pattern. Amazing. The Row/time list is handy. I made my own with a few more facts added to each row. WOW what a great tutorial! THANK YOU Tip: After I finish each row, I fold it over and make sure that each part of the row matches perfectly. Just a handy quick mistake finder.
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial..You just happen to be my favorite guide. You seem to fully understand what might confuse us and what might be tricky ...and you simply take us through it all ...Thank you for the effort and it's strange but the voice while crocheting following your video is kind of relaxing... Keep it up my friend... Greetings from Egypt!! :)
You are such a sweetheart, Thank You so much for your full tutorial, you never leave us hanging and say well just repeat these rows. Thanks again, love your tutorials and always recommend them to my crochet group.
I love the edging. You're video is the only one that gives a clear top border instruction. Thank you!
Your tension is impeccable as well!
Thank you so much! Actually, I was debating whether or not to put a border on it or not, think it looks nice either way. As for my tension, that came with many years of constant work - several hours every day! 😉
I like that you did add a border. I feel that it creates an actual "end" or "edge" to the work and allows some closer lol.
I agree about the tension techniques being developed over the years. It is a craft after all 😊
Fiber Spider thank you for doing this. you are a very good teacher.
Honestly ,i've NEVER NEVER seen a crochet video like yours.with such a lot of love for the details,passion,calm,explaining every round very slouly and comprehension....(sorry my english,i'am in swiss country) i wish you the very best and may god bless you deeply.hughs from your greatest fan,💝
Love love love your tutorial videos!! You are so thorough and easy easy to understand. You make an overwhelming project duable. I made the lapping waves shawl my first crochet project (I’m a knitter) flying from NY to California, of course, finished it back in ny. Now the pineapple shawl love❤it does go quickly and love the time stamps for reference. Oh do I mention I love your tutorials😊thank you. I wish I could share a photo of both
I am definitely going to attempt to make this piece. You are the best in showing how to make this pineapple design. Ty so much for sharing.
Good morning fiber spider from Southern California this is such a beautiful stitch and you described it’s so beautiful and I love that you do a lot of your continuing stitches and show us more how it looks so thank you thank you God bless you
Just finishing this lovely shawl and thinking outside the box for the edging. Thank you for your tutorial.
Hi Craig.
I love this pine apple shawl.
Thank you for teaching us. 🩷🩵
You do the best tutorials thank you so much. My shawl turned out beautifully and I gifted it to my friend who has not been well. Thank you so much Fiber Spider 🌻😊have a lovely day
Thank you so much. I too have watched other videos for this pineapple shawl but as others they were so hard to follow. So yes, I watched yours which was like.... I get it now.... so yes another project on my list. My family also knows that I would rather crochet since it's my touch. Again thank you for all your advice.
I've seen this shawl lots of times but been afraid to try to make it as it looked difficult. Thanks to your clear tutorial and soothing voice you got me through it and I've nearly finished it! thanks so much :)
You are so very welcome, I'm just glad to be of help 😊 Never be afraid to try something different or new - it's how we learn and grow! Keep stitching! 😉☕🕷
thank you from Denmark! Easy to follow, pleasant voice and lots of explanations...you ARE good!!!

Thank u very much ,i make your pineapple lace shawl and i never give up because u clearly i can follow your tuitorial.god bless
I decided to put the virus on hold, I'm still a beginner and saw this and I'm loving it. U r the best!
Hi Craig! I know this is an older tutorial, but I just wanted to let you know that while its March 2019, I've been enjoying this pattern. I had actually repurposed theLion Brand Mandala yarn (Wood Nymph) from a previous project I had completed because I knew the colors would look fabulous with this pattern. I'm planning on using as much as the 3 cakes I originally purchased to make a super size shawl😱... I'm almost done with the 2nd cake!...I love working with the Lion Brand Mandala yarn cakes and I wanted to thank you for introducing me to this lovely and soft yarn....thank you also for inspiring me to crochet so many wonderful projects from your tutorials!😊👍
I just completed this one...and it's beautiful!! Thank you so much for your most excellent instructions!!
Absolutely love this pattern--have a solution for getting the pineapples nice and tight when you finish a pineapple. After completing the cluster on the right side, you slip stitch into the ch-2 space of the next cluster and then put in your cluster. It really helps to keep space between the two clusters almost nonexistent. This pattern is gorgeous when finished and I love the Fiber Spider tutorials. Thank you for your hard work.
I have been looking for a pineapple pattern right side up. Thank you so much for sharing your time and energy with us. XX
I love you, Fiber Spider, your tutorials are unique, clear and user-friendly.
I enjoy listening to you explaining (and giggling sometimes).
I’ve come out of my comfortzone too for this pineapple shawl, let’s see how I will fare. I’m at the beginning of row 7 now, so hopefully I’ll make it to the end of the shawl 😬🍍.
Greetings from rainy Belgium 💦☔️ (but there’s sunshine in my heart).
Thank you for the tutorials,

Veronika
Thank you for sharing your tutorial. Its a beautiful work and I finished last night so I thought I might let you know how wonderful and easy to understand with your explanation. I love its and will try more work.
OH, one more thing: Lion Brand Yarn makes a beautiful DK weight yarn called Mandala in colors similar to the Caron Cakes. If you love Caron Cakes, you'll love Mandala as well and it's less expensive. I've made your Fluffy Meringue shawl out of the Mandala color called Wizard and it turned out GORGEOUS. The lady I made it for just adores it. Love all your tutorials and your book readings! Your voice is very melodious and I like your humor.
Here is a super challenge request...please work out a tutorial on the lost in time shawl...please? You are the best to follow along with and make things easy to understand!
I still use this pattern and I love your tutorials
Literally love this shawl, love pineapple , thank you! I am definitely going to make this pattern
I love it!! Thank you!!! Making one now... 1st. Time making pineapple..... I never thought I could do this!
just wish we could buy the yarn you use in the UK. Just love your videos and your laid back explanations, thank you for taking the time to show your videos to everyone.
you can buy Caron Cakes at wool warehouse in the UK, they are an online shop
:)
Fiber Spider, thank you so much for this tutorial! You make even complex patterns seem simple. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your amazing videos and I have been inspired to learn and do more with my crochet as I've watched you.
+Aron Rainwater thank you very much! The videos are a lot of work and are time consuming, but it's what I'm passionate about - creating and sharing with others, so it's worth it! I'm glad you are growing as a stitcher as well, never stop learning, and never be afraid to try something new even if it means thinking outside of the box of your comfort zone. 🙂
Excited to finish the pineapple shawl pattern! I will be doing two pieces and making a poncho. I will put a white edging that I found on another project in white. Thank-you so much for your tutorials. They are very easy to follow and I am looking forward to doing more with you ! Once I figure out how to post a picture of my work, I will post it. Take care
Thank you for the clarity of this tutorial! It makes crocheting this beautiful pattern easy and a joy!!
Your awesome. Love the way you made it easy to continue by row and times. Your voice is very soothing and its nice having you teach me.
I had to undo this pattern and roll it into a ball and start another project. It was too complicated I am 68 and love ❤️ following you. You have greatly helped me to learn to crochet better.
Beautiful work and beautiful colors
I absolutely love that you write what time you are working on which row! Love your videos
I love it! It looks very elegant and not like. traditional old lady shawl LOL.... I’m on my second shawl in this pattern! So easy! Thanks for posting!!!!!
Hi once again, Craig! I loved this pattern so much that I'm currently using the Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in Teaberry, (inspired by you!) ... the colors are absolutely gorgeous! The border looks like flowers and the pineapples are unique and lovely! ... Perfect for Spring! Thank you again, for all that you do!
Best pineapple Tutorial ever. Greetings from Switzerland
Easy to follow your tutorial. Thanks for posting a great shawl pattern.
Greetings from Singapore! I just love love love all your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing with us! By the way, you have a wonderful voice.
I see this was done in January 2017. Your tutorials have improved greatly since this one was made.
Great great no ONE else do LIKE you
I, too, really like your tutorials, as you do have a talent for walking us through steps that others are a bit harder at doing. I noticed on this video, though, that your fingers are shaking and wondered if this was your first video. You do have a knack, though, at doing this.
+StormCat, I thank you, and apologize for the shakiness ( I think it can be attributed to too much coffee and not enough actual eating ), sorry if it made things difficult for you... 🙁
Thanks a lot for this tutorial.. Made one with your step by step guide. Turned out beautiful.
nice work nice voice nice explanation i loved the tutorial alll
Your tutorials are the best !
Good pattern. Very good easy to follow instructions. Thank you.
Fiber Spider is the best! prior to making this shall I did a virus shawl with him and a partial single crochet blanket that in still working on. I'm a complete beginner and I've almost completed my pineapple shawl. thank you so much for walking me through the steps and answering me when I was frustrated. I look forward to doing many a project with you! !! I'm thinking of doing some a Northern Lights blanket next! I've still love to do the Lost in time shawl with you. Thank you again! !!!!!!
excuse the typos
Thank you Spider this is awesome. Another Christmas present sorted out. Thank you for all that you give us.
Now to put the kettle on make me A coffee and grab my hook.
Very enjoyable crocheting along with this great tutorial. Thank-you.
Thank you so much. You really helped me understand the pattern. I was about to give up when I found your video.
You are really good at explaining. Thank you! xoxo
love your teaching working on this for mom at Easter.
Working on my 3rd Pineapple Lace Shawl with Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in 'Moon Mist' ... as with the shawl I had crochet in the 'Teaberry', with each starting cluster, I slipstitched to the center of the cluster before starting a new cluster...the self edging border looks more like flowers😊🌸
Oh I just got it!! The first of each row.
Fantastic pattern and tutorial. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much your tutorial is so easy to understand
Great tutorial! You made this easy and your work is wonderful!! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern. I am crocheting for my Australian friend who needs something light and airy. I have typed up the pattern for anyone who needs to follow instructions - there may be some amendments needing to be made, but if you let me know, I'll make any amendments and repost :-) I need to post in 2 parts, rows 1-16 and then following on with the rest in part 2. I have typed up comments also where I think it's applicable, to help with following the pattern.
WOW!!! What an INSPIRATION you are!!! I got all the way to 1:25:27 before I finally decided to comment. (I'll be going back to finish when done >here
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, and congratulations on trying something new! 😊 Yes, the growth and repetition are somewhat similar to the virus shawl, and if you like this tutorial I have a video on that one too, lol. Keep up the great work, and I'd love to see our sometime. I'm also on Facebook and Instagram under the same name. Keep Stitching! 😉
1VeganMom i
Thank you another wonderful tutorial and I can’t wait to finish this shawl.
I love this design for the shawl and your tutorials. Thank you so much for all of them. :) I started this and followed well until it ended. LOL!! Can not for the life of me figure out how to keep going. Oh well, it was fun getting to where I did. I'll frog it and make something else. Have a Merry Christmas!!!!!
Thank you so much. You are an excellent teacher. Just finishing this up and I'm hoping to work on a shawl called lace grapes. I used red heart cocoa ombre for this pineapple shawl and it turned out beautiful.
Love your tutorial. I have nearly finished making mine.
oh well thanks for letting me know I was hoping to make one.
thanks for all your great patterns.
Love your tutorials, Fiber! I'm just now trying this pattern and normally I do pretty well following your directions. At the beginning of row 10, it appears that you make a DC but SAY sc, then you make a sc but Say DC. I was going to question this but I'm now thinking that I will follow your actions rather than your spoken word. Ok, no worries! Thanks for your awesome tutorials. You're among my favs!
I just finished mine. I used red heart with love white with the sparkles in it. I think it's called metallic. It's for my wedding on the 20th to go with my wedding dress which I crocheted also in the pineapple Stitch. Thank you so much for this tutorial. My shawl came out stunning.
thanks! you r the best i try others and they leave u hanging, i finished and it came out awesome. thanks love your videos i did the virus granny.
Again wonderfully done video I've used Caron cake before for a prayer shawl that someone requested in the earth tones the color you are using is equally nice. For some reason the Caron cake don't look appealing in the cake but once you begin to use them the colors are very appealing. This shawl is another beautiful but another intimidating shawl I'm not a beginner crocheter but afraid to do overly complicated work. I've been able to do the virus shawl thanks to you and going to try the dragon wing shawl and webbed lace I've seen other videos on the pineapple and for one they go too fast and their yarn is too fine to see for video purposes. You chose excellent yarn that is easy to see and your instructions are much easier to follow. I thank you so much crocheting is the only thing left for me to enjoy if you have epilepsy and are disabled you need an outlet. Didn't mean to ramble. Thank you again I'll be crocheting the night away! Good day to you
Jeanna Kelly I just want to say you left a wonderfully sweet comment
He’s a great teacher and I’m so happy you have crocheting to keep you happy. I too find it very relaxing and comforting though I don’t have a disability. Pat yourself on the back ! I haven’t done the virus shawl yet, I’m too intimidated!! So go you!!! 😄 bless you 🙂
I love yours tutorials!! Thank you from Chile.
I know it has been awhile since you have done this video, I had been looking at triangle shawls then adding a bodice to sew together for a top/dress for a upcoming wedding this may be the shawl I will use.
Thanks for doing the entire shawl with us because if you didn't I would not have tried it. Wish you would have finished to the end but I loved it. And you are listing to us and helping us. You are growing because you are going step by step and finishing the project with us It does take time but because of you doing that more will be coming to your videos and following you Trust Me
Thank you very much indeed for the lovely feedback! I try hard to do the best that I can, to make the tutorials comprehensive without being long winded. I also try to respond to questions and give advice when I can. It is indeed a lot of hard work, and I do thank you for your appreciation 😊
Thanks for posting this tutorial. It would be helpful to know the finished size of what you're working on. Also helpful to see your finished project on a hanger or on a person in order to visualize it -- before getting started. Also, for those of us not familiar with the yarn brand you're using, how many yards are in a skein? I like your calm teaching style making it easier to keep following you. Thanks again.
Excellent teaching job.
I finished making this beautiful pineapple shawl last night
I love this shawl and pattern.
Hi Fiber, love your tutorials. thank you
You are great. I love following you
This is GORGEOUS!!!
Row 17 - Chain 3. Turn work. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. We need to open this out further. If you notice, we have 2 spaces here, a chain 3 and another chain 3 space. In the middle, we have a chain 3 space, another chain 3 space and at the very end we have a chain 3 space and another chain 3 space. That is significant because we now have 3 pineapples that we are building all at the same time. Work a cluster. Chain 3. And then do a DC into ch-3 space, chain 3 do another DC into next ch-3 space and then we do another chain of 3. Into ch-2 space do another cluster. Chain 5, because we are still closing this pineapple up. Do a SC into the ch-3 space, chain 3. SC into the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space. Chain 5. Do a cluster into the next cluster. Chain 3, do a DC into the first ch-3 space and then chain 3. Do a DC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3. Work a cluster on top of the previous cluster. Chain 5. Do a SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3. Chain 5 and do a cluster in ch-2 space. Chain 3, DC into the ch-3 space, chain 3. DC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3. And another cluster on top of the next cluster.
What you want to keep in mind is for instance, for the next row, chain up 3 and do a cluster in the cluster. Then because we are still building this pineapple up, you would then do a chain 3, do 11 DCs into this ch-3 space, chain 3, do a cluster, chain 5, go into these last 2 remaining ch-3 spaces, another cluster, and then another 11 DCs etc. We had our 11 DCs and then we would start by doing an increase of 2 in the first and 2 in the last and work your way up. Finish your piece with the middle pineapple. You want to finish by finishing your middle pineapple, where we join our clusters together, where we have the large space, end there.
Edging.
To finish the edging, do the row that connects the 2 parts together (large V) at the middle pineapple. After you have finished this row, chain 1 and turn work. Slip stitch into the first 3 DCs. Then slip stitch into ch-2 space. Then chain up 3, do a cluster (first chain 3 counts as a DC) do a further 2 DCs, ch-2 and 3 DCs. Chain 1 and then into the next ch-3 do 2 DCs, then chain 1. Into the next ch-3 do 2 DCs, chain 1. Into the next ch-3 space do 2 DCs, keep going across and in every ch-space do 2 DCs, followed by a chain 1. At the cluster, do 2 DCs in ch-2 space, chain 1, 2 DCs. Go directly into the next cluster space and chain 1. Then do 2 DCs, chain 1, 2 DCs. Then proceed for the rest of the top with chain 1, 2 DCs, chain 1, 2 DCs etc. When you hit the next cluster, 2 DCs, chain 1, 2 DCs etc until the end. When you hit the last cluster space, do 3 DCs, ch-2 and 3 DCs.
This is a beautiful shawl. Is it possible that you can make a tutorial for beginners with a very easy mens sweater?
Colourway bumbleberry (Caron Cakes)
2 skeins of yarn (Each skein of caron cakes is 383 yards/350 meters, 7.1 oz/200 g)
Size I crochet hook
Scissors
Yarn needle
Stitch counter
Single crochet (SC
Double crochet (DC)
Cluster stitch (3 DC, ch-2, 3 DC)
Chain 2 space (ch-2 space)
Chain 3 space (ch-3 space)
Row 1 - Start with a slip knot. Start with a chain of 4. 2 x DC into the first chain (the first chain is the one furthest from the hook). Chain 2 and then 3 DC into the same first chain (3 DCs in total). Chain 2. Three DCs (chaining 2 before each DC until you have 4 clusters of DCs in total. In total, you will have 4 clusters of DCs separated by 2 chains. Pull the tail tight to close the round.
Row 2 - Chain 3. Turn work. Form a cluster, always start at the beginning and end of every row. Into first ch-2 space work 3 DCs. Chain 2. 3 more DCs in the same space. Start building up the first pineapple. Chain 3. Into the ch-2 space do 1 DC and chain 3. Into the next space do another cluster of 3 DCs. (3 DCs, Chain 2. 3 DCs).
Row 3 - Chain 3. Turn work. Work a Cluster stitch (3 DCs into first ch-2 space, ch-2, 3 DCs). Chain 3. Into the next ch-3 space, do a single double crochet and chain 3. Into the next ch-3 space do a single DC and chain 3. Finish off by doing a cluster into the last ch-3 space.
Row 4 - Chain 3. Turn work. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. Chain 3. Inside of first middle space do 11 DCs. Make sure you double count and check you have 11 DCs at this stage. Chain 3. Do a finishing cluster in ch-2 space.
Row 5 - (This is an increase row). Chain 3. Turn work. Cluster stitch in first ch-2 space. Chain 3. In first DC, do 2 DCs (DC in each of next 9, 2 DCs in last DC (13 DCs in all). Chain 3. Do a cluster stitch in Ch-2 space.
Row 6 - Chain 3. Turn. Do a cluster into first ch-2 space. Chain 3. Into the first DC stitch do a SC, chain 3, skip a DC stitch and do a SC in next DC (do all the way across to create gaps - 7 times). Finish row with a chain 3 and go into the last ch-2 space and do another cluster stitch.
Row 7 - Chain 3. Turn. Do a cluster stitch in first ch-2 space. Chain 5 (this decreases pineapple). Into ch-3 space do a SC and chain 3( across all DCs 6 times in all, making 5 gaps). Start doing chain 5 after you have worked across into the ch-3 loops). To finish row, chain 5, do a cluster stitch in last ch-2 space.
Row 8 - Chain 3 and turn work. Work a cluster stitch in first ch-2 space. We are starting to make the current pineapple in the centre by shrinking it down. We need to create a pineapple on both ends. To do this, we need to create a series of 4 clusters, as at the beginning. To create a new pineapple, do 2 clusters in one (3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs (4 groups of 3) in first ch-2 space. Chain 5, SC into the first ch-3 space. Chain 3. (5 times). Chain 5 and into next ch-2 space do the next group of 4 clusters to finish.
Row 9 - Chain 3. Turn work. Just like we did at the beginning, we need to build up our pineapple. Start row 9 by doing our cluster into the first ch-2 space. Then we are going to do just like we did at the very beginning and chain 3. Do 1 DC into the next ch-2 space. Chain 3 and then into the next ch-2 space do a cluster of 3 DCs, Ch-2, 3 DCs. So as you can see, it’s pretty much where we started from, the beginning of a pineapple, but its on the end. The middle one we have to continue to shrink, so in order to do so, chain 5, and into our ch-3 space do a SC, chain 3, working into the gaps until the end (4 gaps). Chain 5. Into the first ch-2 space work a cluster. Chain 3, into the next ch-2 space do a single DC and into next ch-2 space work a cluster.
Row 10 - Chain 3 and turn. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. Chain 3, 1 single DC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, do another DC into the next ch-3 space. Chain 3, then another cluster into next ch-2 space. Chain 5. Into first ch-3 space, SC, chain 3, (continue to the end). Chain 5, In next ch-2 space do a cluster. Chain 3, Work a single DC into first ch-3 space, chain 3, another single DC into next ch-3 space, and we chain 3 again, and then we finish off with another cluster in the last ch-2 space.
Row 11 - Chain 3 and turn. Into the first ch-2 space work a cluster. Chain 3. Miss first ch-3 space and work 11 DCs into centre space. Chain 3. Work a cluster in first ch-2 space. Chain 5 (as we need to shrink the pineapple), SC into ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into next ch-3 space to the end. Chain 5. Work a cluster into next chain 2 space. Chain 3. Miss next ch-3 space and work 11 DCs into the centre space, (Count there are 11). Chain 3, Finish off with a cluster into the last ch-2 space.
Row 12 -Chain 3 and turn. Into the first ch-2 space work a cluster. Chain 3, (into the first and last DC work 2 DCs (2 DCs in the first and 2 DCs in the last, going from 11 to 13). Chain 3. Work another cluster in next ch-2 space. Chain 5. Go directly into last ch-3 space with a SC and chain 5. Work another cluster. Chain 3. (into the first and last DC work 2 DCs (2 DCs in the first and 2 DCs in the last, going from 11 to 13). Chain 3. Finish off row 12 with another cluster within the cluster (3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs).
Row 13 - Chain 3. Turn work. Start with a cluster in ch-2 space. Chain 3. Work a SC into the first DC, chain 3. Skip a DC, SC into the next and work across to last DC. Chain 3. Work another cluster of 3 ¬¬¬¬¬¬DCs, ch-2, 3 DCs. Now, we are going to bridge the gap. We are finishing our pineapple here. We don’t do any chains, just go directly into the next cluster and work another cluster. When joining in the centre, you want it to be nice and tight, because if it’s loose, it will ¬look ungainly and it’s difficult to go back and fix once above the rows. Then continue on with the rest of the row. Chain 3, SC into the first DC, chain 3. Skip 1 DC and SC into the next DC, chain 3 and work across to the end. Chain 3 and finish by doing a cluster in the last ch-2 space.
Row 14 - Chain 3. Turn work. Do a cluster into first ch-2 space. If you recall, about remembering the tricks of where we change from 3 chains to 5 chains, this is it, because when we get to the end, because we did have 6 ch-3 spaces, well, by going across this time, we end up with 5, hence that is why we need to start this by doing 5 chains, so chain 5. SC into ch-3 space, chain 3, to the end. So as previously, we have 5 ch-3 spaces, hence why we need 5 chains at the beginning. Then chain 5, do a cluster into the next cluster, because we finished the pineapple below, we need to create a pineapple above it. So start by chaining 2, and do a cluster into the cluster ch-2 space. MAKE IT NICE AND TAUT. The creation of new pineapples is something we are going to get into. Chain 5, SC into the first ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into next ch-3 space, SC into next ch-3 space, SC into next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch3 space, SC into the last ch-3 space and chain 5. Do another cluster into the next cluster in ch-2 space.
Row 15 - Chain 3. Turn work. As I said before, it’s a matter of increasing and decreasing pineapples. Right now, this pineapple, since we did our chain 5, it is on the closing, the decrease) and because of that we need to start another one at the end. Every time on the pineapple we do a chain 5, we need to create a new one. So again, just like where we have the 4 clusters, that’s what we have to do again, another 4 clusters. Chain 3 and do another group of 4 DCs, separated by 2 chains. So, we did the foundation for the next pineapple and we’re going to continue to shrink this one by starting with a chain 5. Do a SC into the first ch-3 space, chain 3, SC to the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space, SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3 and SC into the last ch-3 space. Chain 5 again. Then work a cluster on top of the cluster. We still have to build up this centre pineapple, so ch-2, do a DC into this ch-2 space, chain 2 again, do a cluster into the next cluster space. What we are going to do from here, is chain 5 across, SC into the ch-3 space across to the end of all ch-3 spaces, chain 5 and then because it’s all about symmetry, after you do these here, chain 5 and then into this cluster space, you are going to do 4 groups of 3 DCs, separated by 2 chains, just like at the beginning.
Row 16 - Just to recap, we have our chain 5, ch-3 space, ch-3 space etc, chain 5 and then at the end of round 15 we have 4 groups of 3 DCs. So to continue on with row 16, chain 3 and turn work. Do a cluster into the first ch-2 space. We need to start opening up the pineapple so chain 3, do a DC into the next ch-2 space, 3 chains, and then do another cluster into the next ch-2 space. Continue on closing up the pineapple, so chain 5, work a SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into the next ch-3 space and work across to the end. Chain 5, do a cluster into the next cluster. We are going to build up the base of the next pineapple even more, so we are going to chain 3, and then do a DC into the DC stitch, chain 3, do a cluster into the next ch-2 space, chain 5, SC into the next ch-3 space, chain 3, SC into the next ch-3 space and work across to end of SCs, chain 5, cluster into the next ch-2 space. Chain 3, single DC into the next ch-2 space, and then end with a cluster. Part 2 to follow
You know I love you and your tutorials but I'd like to have the written pattern too, which one did you use?
Any way in playing video slower?
I just found you. I’m hooked. You are so good st this.
Lovely. From MAURITIUS. I made one. Making a second one on your tutorial
Sorry , Mr. Spider 😊 I was looking for the pineapple shall, but not so pointy in the bottom, or beginning, and I look at your tutorials, and I like the way you teach , slow easy, and I'm a beginner, but I'm almost at 10, row ,, I run out of yarn so I had to ask my daughter for money, maybe I can start next week ,, I'm going to keep doing or try to do some of the tutorials that you teaching ,, I love all of them, 😀🙄☺ thank you
So..so.so beautiful..thank RUclips
Ok don’t laugh but I have been so stressed that I started this pattern with fibre and his voice just put me to sleep when I woke I had the best sleep and now I have finished this shawl thank you fiber
Very beautiful....thanks.
