What can I say, except that I’m in a crocheting mood again. So I took advantage and looked up some free vintage crochet patterns I can make.
I chose this pattern because it is easy to make, like I’m just reminiscing past designs I made back in the day. A pineapple design is one of the easiest and the most common design for doilies, placemats, table runners and even bead spreads.
The design is great for any of the above, but since I’m into table runners recently, I decided to make one more.
Here is a green motif that I connected to two pineapples on opposite sides
I made 9 green round motifs, 7 of which I connected 2 pineapples on opposite sides while the ends required 4 pineapples like so below.
I then laid out the finished pieces on my table to see if I made enough for my desired length.
Next I joined them together by putting a fill-in motif; I chose apple green to make it more attractive.
To finish off, I made one round of edging to keep the pineapple tips in place so they won’t move any which way.
And my runner is done!
I think I’ll need apple green placemats to match this runner.
Wow, you really excel in arts and crafts! I really like the color combination of this table runner. Perhaps you can also do designs to match the flowers in your garden.
