Free Crochet Pattern for Amigurumi Pineapple

Hook Size: 4.0mm (G) crochet hook
Other Tools: tapestry needle, stitch markers, scissors

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.
