My Inspiration: From Affection to Artistry
Unveiling the Pineapple Doily pattern by Crochet World Creations was a moment of pure delight. My affection for pineapple doilies, coupled with the allure of its size, drew me in. The intricate spiral center and the opulent petal edging added a layer of charm that was impossible to resist. Join me as I bring this 26-row enchanting creation to life and explore the magic that captured my heart in every stitch.
Crafting Elegance: Choosing the Perfect Threads and Hooks
Let’s talk materials! Crafting the Pineapple Doily was a delightful journey, and to achieve that perfect 39 cm (15.35 inches) size, I opted for a size 10 cotton thread and a 0.95 mm crochet hook. The tutorial recommended a 0.75 mm hook, but I found that my 0.95 mm hook worked just as wonderfully.
Embracing quality, I chose Aunt Lydia’s classic, a durable 100% cotton thread in the same size and color. The result? A perfect blend of resilience and beauty that makes this doily truly special.

Crochet Hurdles Turned Creative Triumph
Every crochet journey has its twists and turns, and mine with the Pineapple Doily was no exception. In round 20 (part 2), I encountered a minor glitch. The question of whether to chain 3 or chain 2 between 15 single crochets introduced a moment of ambiguity.
The demonstrator chose chain 3, yet on-screen, it displayed chain 2. Faced with this discrepancy, I made a choice not to let it become a stumbling block. Embracing adaptability, I opted for three chains, and to my delight, the project unfolded seamlessly. Sometimes, in the world of crochet, a small challenge turns into an opportunity for a creative solution!
