Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to crochet the Oval Pineapple Doily. This doily is worked in three sections: the center motif, the first pineapple, and the second pineapple. The doily consists of 19 rounds and requires DMC thread size 5 and a double O hook.

Materials Needed

Before we start, let's gather the materials we'll need for this project. You will need:

• DMC thread size 5
• Double O hook

Center Motif

The center motif is the first section of the Oval Pineapple Doily. It consists of six rounds. Let's go through each round step by step.

Round 1

To begin the center motif, chain six to create the center ring. Join with a slip stitch to form the ring.

Round 2

In round 2, chain one and work 12 single crochet stitches around the center ring. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.

Round 3

Round 3 starts with a chain three. Then, make a cluster stitch in each loop, consisting of three incomplete double crochets. Finish the round by joining with a slip stitch to the top of the first cluster.

Round 4

In round 4, chain five and slip stitch to the top of the next cluster. Repeat this pattern around and join with a slip stitch to the first slip stitch.

Round 5

To begin round 5, chain five and slip stitch in the first, second, and third chain to bring the thread to the center of the chain five loop. Continue with chain five and single crochet in the next loop. Repeat this pattern around.

Round 6

Round 6 follows the same pattern as round 5, chaining five and single crocheting in each loop. Finish the round by single crocheting on top of the first double crochet.

First Pineapple

The first pineapple is the second section of the Oval Pineapple Doily. It consists of 19 rows. Let's go through each row step by step.

Row 1

To start the first pineapple, follow the pattern from right to left. Each row will be worked in this direction.

Row 2

Continue working row by row, following the pattern.

Finishing the Doily

Once all the rounds are completed, finish off the doily by weaving in any loose ends and blocking it to shape.
