After sharing my Carrot Soap Cozy (or Small Gift Bag), I have been wanting to make one that looked like a pineapple complete with the leaves.

I thought the criss crossed stitch pattern was appropriate for the pattern/texture of an actual pineapple, and the leaves are a modified version of my Super Easy Carrot Applique.

This little bag is excellent for using as a soap cozy (gift a homemade soap with it!), candy/favor pouch (for a tropical party!) or as a gift bag (gift with some Summer themed earrings.

Materials:

  • 70 Yards (64 Meters) of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Yellow & Sage Green
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives to Lily Sugar n Cream: Bernat’s Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, WeCrochet Dishie

Other Recommended Yarns (with I9/5.5mm Hook): Red Heart’s Super Saver, Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value

Weaving in ends of a tough yarn, like cotton yarn, can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to carefully help pull the tapestry needle through the work.

Time Spent:
One hour.

Measurements:
4.25” Wide by 5.75” Tall (not including leaves) (10.8 cm Wide by 14.6 cm Tall)

Gauge/Tension:
16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4” (16 HTR by 10 Rows = 10.2 cm)
