First Pineapple Square

This is the first pineapple square I've ever made. It's the first pineapple anything I ever made. Still needs some light blocking, and the end woven in, but I like the results. I used the Panda Pineapple Square pattern that's available free online, and RH:SS in Brown. I plan on making more of them in browns, greens, creams, maroons and black and using them to make an afghan for the house.

The picture isn't the greatest. Since I haven't found the cable for my digital camera, I've resorted to using an old Kodak usb webcam to take the picture. Those things are impossible to hold and take pictures at the same time.

I like the square too....pineapples are so easy once you tackle one....I was afraid to do them thinking that they were hard but turns out I LOVE THEM!!! give it a try..you'll be glad you did!

Very nice!!! I was so scared of them for the longest time too! They just look hard!

Be careful...pineapples are ADDICTING!! I was so scared when I did my first doily...but now I am soo hooked on them. They look so hard, but are sooo easy. I too am making a ghan out of pineapple squares. Made one last night while watching tv.
Great job btw!!

That looks great!
I agree pineapples are not that hard to do. I guess I've done so many I don't think they look complicated at all to me, they look fairly basic and easy. So this might be a square for beginners to try.

Very well done; especially for your first. I like the ideas too.
would be very pretty in a bedspread or a table cloth.:yes

Pineapples are easy like everyone else says above; there are very few stitches involved, usually just double crochet, & chaining. It looks pretty, the color scheme sounds good too!

It is lovely!

I just did this small doily this morning:

I did it in about 3 hours, but I've been doing pineapple patterns for years.

I left off the last row because this is one of eight doilies I'm making for an order and the it was already big enough. The woman will never know the difference... LOL

Yes, pineapples ARE addictive, but you are going to end up with one big beautiful piece of fiber art!

Congrats on your first pineapple. I was a little more ambitious with my first - it was a large pineapple poncho. I was surprised at how easy it was.

Thanks everyone. I did discover that they're very easy to do, just have to keep track of where you are in a pattern. My husband likes the square and thinks having an afghan of them is pretty cool.
