The Pleasant Pineapple is a realistic looking and sized amigurumi pineapple. Perfect for intermediate crocheters looking for a true-to-size pineapple for your amigurumi kitchen. These are great for kids kitchens or any pineapple lovers too! Use as decoration or a play toy.

Since shell stitch is used in the pineapple base, I also offer instructions for adding stuffing into a pantyhose to avoid any stuffing escaping from the pineapple itself. A technique my pattern testers really enjoyed.

You’ll find more detailed information about the crochet pattern below.

Using the yarn and hooks specified in this pattern, my creation was 10.5cm / 4.13” wide at the pineapple base by 28cm / 11” high from the bottom of the pineapple to the top of the leaves.

Materials needed

Yarn: Worsted/Aran
Crochet hook: 3.5mm
Recommended Yarn: Rico Creative Cotton Aran or Drops Paris 100% Cotton in Mustard (55 grams = 90.2 yards) and Green (50 grams = 93 yards).

Other supplies:

• Stuffing
• Needle
• Scissors
• Pins

Gauge

Gauge is not required for this pattern, however keep tension consistent throughout. For reference, my gauge was:
5 sc stitches on 2.5cm / 1”
5 rounds on 2.5cm / 1”
and
1.5 shell stitches x 5cm horizontal
2.5 shell stitches x 5cm vertical

Pattern Notes

• Most parts are worked in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise.
• Stitch counts vary - pay close attention at the end of each round.
• Keep tension consistent throughout.
• Yarn weight and fibre can be customised, but ensure you change your hook size according to the yarn you use. This will also affect the final size.
• A pantyhose is used for stuffing so your stuffing doesn’t escape through your shell stitches.
