Crochet Pineapple Washcloth and Applique

Pineapples are a huge trend right now, and it’s one that I am totally on board with. I’ve been wanting to make a cute pineapple project for a while now, and here it is: crochet pineapple washcloths!

Washcloths are a perfect little crochet project because they work up quickly, but a simple square can be kind of boring – pineapple shaped washcloths to the rescue! You can work up these pineapples in two-tones (with a different colored top) or in one solid color.

I think a few of these little guys would make an adorable gift, but if you don’t need a washcloth, this pattern can also be used to make a cute pineapple applique like the neon pink one I sewed onto a quick pillow cover.
If you worked the pattern with a lighter weight yarn and smaller hook, you would end up with as smaller pineapple – lots of applique possibilities!
Ready to get crocheting and make your own? Let’s do it!

Materials:

  • Worsted weight yarn (I used Lily Sugar N’ Cream for the washcloths and Caron Simply Soft in Neon Coral for the applique)
  • Size H (5.00 mm) crochet hook

 

Special Stitches:

Fan: In specified st work (dc, ch 1) 4 times, dc in same st (5 dc total): Fan made.

Back Post Double Crochet (BPdc): YO, insert hook from back to front to back around post (vertical bar) of specified st; YO and draw up a loop to height of a dc; YO and draw through two loops, YO and draw through both loops on hook: BPdc made.

Spike Stitch Double Crochet (SSdc): Insert hook in st two rows directly below next stitch (or specified stitch) and draw up a long loop to height of current row; YO and draw through two loops, YO and draw through both loops on hook: SSdc made.

    I love your pineapple pattern. If only I could understand all these different stitches, I would start making them to send in packages to friends all around the country. *Cry*

    Would these be ok to use as dish clothes? My kitchen is a pineapple motif and these would be adorable. If so, is there a certain yarn I should use? Thanks so much

      Yes! If it feels too flimsy to you, you could make two and then sew them together back to back. I would definitely use a cotton yarn. Good luck!
