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.

Finished size

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
  • Stitch marker
  • Stockings/Pantyhose

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.
