Sunburst Pineapple Doily
Free crochet pattern with chart
A round pineapple doily 11 1/2 inches across, worked in 30 rounds. A center of treble clusters, three rounds of chain loops and a solid round of 180 double crochet lead into rounds of shells that open into 12 pineapples. As the pineapples narrow, the shells between them multiply, and three rounds of chain loops and clusters finish the edge in 12 points.

Reading this chart
- Start at the center and read each round counterclockwise, the way a right-handed crocheter works.
- Start at the center and read each round clockwise, the way a left-handed crocheter works.
- Each round begins at its green mark, its first stitch or chain; its number is printed beside it. Rounds alternate dark and blue so they read apart.
- The key under the chart names every symbol. Symbols follow the Craft Yarn Council chart standard.

The 1948 stitch names
The booklet is written in modern American terms, so nothing needs translating. Its special stitches are defined in the pattern itself:
| In 1948 | US today | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| cluster | 3-tr cluster | The pattern spells it out in round 3: holding back the last loop of each tr, make 3 tr in the next loop, then thread over and draw through all loops on the hook. |
| shell | (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) | Defined in round 9: 2 dc, ch 2 and 2 dc in one place. |
| shell over shell | shell in the next shell's ch-2 space | Round 10 shows it: at the start of a round, slip stitch over to the first shell's space and ch 3 for the first dc. |
| 3-part shell | (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) | The booklet has no name for it. It writes it out each time, as in round 20: "2 dc in sp of next shell, in same sp make (ch 2, 2 dc) twice". |
What we checked
- Round 1: 24 dc in the ring. Round 2: 12 sc with 12 loops.
- Round 3: 6 groups of 3 clusters (18 clusters) and 6 sc, with 24 loops.
- Round 4: 24 clusters in 12 pairs and 12 sc, with 36 loops. Rounds 5 to 7: 36 sc with 36 loops.
- Round 8: 5 dc in each of the 36 loops, the 180 dc the pattern prints.
- Rounds 9 to 11: 36 shells (144 dc) in each round.
- Round 12: 12 repeats of 2 shells and 2 sc (96 dc, 24 sc).
- Round 13: 12 shells and 12 (2 dc, ch 5, 2 dc) groups, 96 dc.
- Round 14: 12 fans of 12 tr (144 tr) between 12 shells: the 12 pineapples begin.
- Round 15: 12 tr with 11 ch-1 spaces in each pineapple. Round 16: 11 sc with 10 ch-3 loops between in each pineapple (132 sc).
- Rounds 17 to 19: one shell between pineapples (48 dc); the pineapples narrow to 10, 9 and 8 sc (120, 108 and 96 sc).
- Round 20: a 3-part shell between pineapples (72 dc) and 7 sc in each pineapple (84 sc).
- Round 21: 2 shells side by side (96 dc), 6 sc (72 sc). Round 22: the 2 shells with ch 2 between, 5 sc (60 sc).
- Round 23: 3 shells side by side (144 dc), 4 sc (48 sc).
- Round 24: a 3-part shell, a shell and a 3-part shell (192 dc), 3 sc (36 sc).
- Round 25: 5 shells (240 dc), 2 sc (24 sc). Round 26: 5 shells with ch 2 between them all, and the last sc of each pineapple (12 sc).
- Round 27: 2 shells, a 3-part shell and 2 shells in each repeat (264 dc), passing over the pineapple tips.
- Round 28: 2 sc, 2 dc and 2 clusters in each repeat with 6 loops (24 sc, 24 dc, 24 clusters, 72 loops).
- Round 29: 3 sc, 2 dc and 3 clusters with 8 loops (36 sc, 24 dc, 36 clusters, 96 loops).
- Round 30: 4 sc, 2 dc and 2 clusters with 7 loops (48 sc, 24 dc, 24 clusters, 84 loops), and a test checks 12 matching repeats.
- Every round closes evenly. Each stitch's place in rounds 17 to 30 was checked one by one against the printed words.
- Rounds 1 to 16 were re-read against the page image on November 12, 2026, word by word. The transcription matches the print. Round 9's shells sit on the center dc of each 5-dc group (dc 3 of the first group, then every fifth dc).
- Photo: 12 pineapples and 12 points. Each point falls between two pineapples and the edge dips at each pineapple tip, the same as the chart. A rose and a vase cover two of the points.
How we read the old wording
- Krowshea adds a ch 1 (it does not count as a stitch) where the booklet starts a round with an sc and no chain: rounds 2 to 7 and 28 to 30.
- "Sl st in next 2 ch" (round 3), "Sl st to center of next loop" (rounds 4 to 7), "Sl st in next 3 ch" (rounds 29 and 30) and "Sl st in next dc and in next sp" (rounds 10, 20, 21, 24, 25 and 28) move into the first loop or shell; Krowshea writes them as "sl st in next sp".
- Round 9: the booklet slip stitches across 7 dc to put its first shell in the center dc of the second 5-dc group. Krowshea slip stitches across 2 dc and puts its first shell in the center dc of the first group. Every shell still sits in a center dc, and the 36 shells are the same; only the place where the round starts moves by one group.
- Rounds 11 to 19, 22, 23, 26 and 27 begin "shell over shell" with no words for getting there. They open the way the booklet's round 10 does: slip stitch into the first shell's space and ch 3 for the first dc.
- Round 12: "shell in next sp" is read as the ch-2 between the two shells that take an sc. 36 shells in 12 repeats leave no other place for it.
- Rounds 11 to 27: the chains between shells, and the sc and chains of the round below, are passed with skips where the booklet says only "shell over shell" or "in sp of next shell".
- Round 17 says "skip next ch-3" before the pineapple. Rounds 18 to 26 do not say to pass the ch-4 on each side of the pineapple, but "sc in next ch-3 loop" leaves no other reading.
- Rounds 21 and 25 end their repeat with "shell in next ch-2 sp". The last time around, that shell is the one made at the start of the round, so the round joins there. Rounds 28 to 30 close the same way on their first sc.
- Round 25 says "skip next sp" for the ch-2 after the middle shell and says nothing about the ch-2 before it. Both are passed.
- Round 27 has no chain between the last shell of one repeat and the first of the next. The ch 4, sc and ch 4 at the pineapple tip are passed.
- Round 28 says "skip next ch-2" once. All four ch-2 between the shells are passed, and the two clusters go in the two spaces of the 3-part shell.
- Round 30: "(cluster in next ch-2 sp) twice" has no chain between the two clusters. It is kept as printed.
- Hook: "Steel Crochet Hook No. 10" is given as 1.3 mm, today's US steel 10. Steel sizes varied by maker, so this is a guide.
No errors in the original. The one count it prints (180 dc) checks out, and all 30 rounds close evenly. Its wording is uneven in rounds 25 and 28, where it names some of the chains to pass and not others; the stitch counts settle both.
