Free Crochet Pattern for Amigurumi Pineapple

Notes

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
• Pineapple is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Invisible decreases are recommended. Please see “Special Stitches”.
• Safety eyes and noses pose a choking risk for babies; therefore, if making this toy for a baby, I recommend using yarn, felt, or embroidered details.
• Pineapple requires stuffing. Stuff as you work to ensure the piece is completely filled.
• All tutorial photos referenced in this document are available at the end of this pattern, or in sequential order in the full-color, formatted PDF that was included with your purchase.
