This is a modern reworking of Jane Gaugain’s 1840 pattern for a Pineapple reticule, her original pattern is included as well as the modern redaction.

The pattern calls for beads and some finer crochet cotton as well as the main yarn, the original would have been worked in silk.

My site got hacked and I do not have the time now to turn it back on. But I am copying PeggyO2001’s comment here:

The link to the Spanish edition on the pattern page no longer works, but the pattern is still available via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine:
