The classic crochet pineapple motif meets today’s fun summer fashion accessory! These pretty pineapples can be worked in any lighter weight category 2 yarn. Take a look at the yarn database for lots of different suggestions.

These lacy shorts are the perfect accent over your bikini for a bit of classic glamour.

Also available are patterns for matching HairWrap and Barefoot Sandals, and coming soon will be a pattern for a coordinating cropped vest!

Pattern has been designed and tested for one size (M) to fit waist of about 28-30 inches and hips of 38-40 inches. The waist is formed from a connected band of 10 circle motifs measuring about 32.5 inches around unstretched.
This will stretch easily to pull on over the hips and can be tied tighter with a draw string.
SIZE ADJUSTMENT NOTES-
Design is meant to be close-fitting and allows for only about 2 inches of ease. If you desire a bit more ‘room’, consider working with a larger hook for a looser-fitting garment. There are some notes on how to personalize your size a bit more, through experimenting with different hook sizes and/or changing the number of circle motifs, although those modifications have not been tested and verified.
