Perhaps that is why this tropical fruit has been creatively interpreted in such a variety of ways. Over the years, the pineapple motif was carved into the doors, woodwork and balustrades of many old homes and has been conventionally used as a carved embellishment on furniture. Ornamental iron work, fences and balconies were often garnished with this motif. The pineapple has been featured as a repeating design element on wallpapers and textiles and needle workers have made full use of this design in needlepoint, as well as in embroidered samplers, doilies and pillowcases. But without a doubt, the most popular and enduring representation of the pineapple is in crochet. Doilies, edgings, vanity sets, place mats, tablecloths, bed spreads, chair sets and even kitchen accessories have all been created with the pineapple as the distinctive design element. Here is a completely new collection of thirty two beautiful pineapple crochet patterns originally published over thirty years ago in instruction booklets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faith Books23","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889015075043,"sku":null,"price":3.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3303\/7027\/files\/20260429_135620.jpg?v=1777579261","url":"https:\/\/faithbooks23.com\/products\/treasure-of-pineapple-designs-for-crocheting-editor-linda-macho-very-good-1983-pbk-48-pgs-dover","provider":"Faith Books23","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
