A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: The pineapple pattern is a well-loved and favorite one in the crochet world of doilies. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers took the time to sit down and relax after doing all their chores. The meditative nature of repeating a basic chain gave way to their mindless, relaxing, and productive moments.
