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.

Materials

Thread, 1948: Mercerized crochet cotton, size 30, in small balls. The booklet names its two brands: 2 balls of white or ecru or 3 of any color in one, and 3 balls of white or ecru or 5 of any color in the other. Today's size 30 crochet thread is the match.
Hook, 1948: Steel crochet hook No. 10, about 1.3 mm in today's US steel sizes. Old steel hook sizes varied from maker to maker, so treat the millimeter size as a guide.
Size, 1948: 13 inches in diameter. The booklet ends: "Starch lightly and press."

The 1948 stitch names

The booklet is written in modern American terms, so nothing needs translating. Its one special stitch is defined in the pattern itself:

In 1948	US today	How we know
cluster	3-tr cluster	The pattern spells it out in round 18: holding back the last loop of each tr, make 3 tr in the next tr, then thread over and draw through all loops on the hook.

What we checked

Rounds 1 to 4: 32 dc, 32, 64 and 64.
Round 5: 32 sc with 32 loops. Rounds 6 to 8: 32 tr, 32 sc and 32 dc, each with 32 loops.
Round 9: 64 tr in 32 pairs. Round 10: 96 tr in 32 groups of 3.
Rounds 11 to 15: 32 groups of 3 tr (96 tr), with chains of 4, 4, 5, 6 and 6 between them.
Round 16: 16 repeats, the 16 pineapples the pattern prints, each starting as 9 tr (192 tr).
Round 17: each pineapple widens to 13 tr (256 tr). Round 18: 11 tr between 2 clusters (224 tr, 32 clusters).
Rounds 19 to 22: the pineapples narrow to 9, 7, 5 and 3 tr while the chains beside them grow to 5, 7, 9 and 11.
Round 23: 16 tr at the pineapple tips, 16 clusters over the 3-tr groups and 32 clusters beside the tips, with 64 loops. Round 24: 32 clusters and 32 loops of 17 chains.
Round 25: 30 sc and 5 ch-4 loops in each of the 32 long loops (960 sc, 160 small loops).
Every round closes evenly, and a test checks 16 matching repeats at round 22 and 32 at round 25.
Re-read against the page image on November 12, 2026, rounds 1 to 25, word by word. The transcription matches the print.
Photo: the lamp hides about a fifth of the doily, so the 16 pineapples cannot all be counted. What shows agrees with the chart: evenly spaced pineapples with one spoke of 3 tr between each pair, and two long edge loops to each pineapple.

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: round 5 ("Sc in same place as sl st"), round 7 ("Sl st in next ch, sc in same sp") and round 25 ("In each loop around make ...").
Rounds 6 and 8 open with an sc in the loop and a long chain ("sc in loop, ch 7", joined to the 4th ch; "sc in same loop, ch 6", joined to the 3rd ch). The sc and the first chains stand in for the round's first tr or dc. Krowshea writes them as ch 4 (counts as a tr) and ch 3, or ch 3 (counts as a dc) and ch 3, with no sc. The stitch stands in the same loop, and the counts are the same.
"Sl st in next ch" (rounds 6 and 7) and "Sl st in next 2 ch" (round 8) move into the first loop; Krowshea writes them as "sl st in next sp".
Round 25 starts straight into the first loop after the join, as the booklet does; the booklet gives no slip stitches to get there.
Rounds 16 to 24: the chain loops between groups are not worked into; each round chains past the loops below.
Round 19's "skip cluster and ch-3" also passes the ch-3 before the cluster without saying so. Rounds 19 to 24 write each pass out as skips.
Rounds 20 to 22 are printed as one sentence and are written out by the same rule as round 19, with 7, 5 and 3 tr between the clusters.
Round 23: "Ch 4, make a 2-tr cluster over next 2 tr" is the first cluster over a 3-tr group, written "ch 4, tr2tog over next 2 sts (counts as a tr3tog)". The booklet joins "to tip of first cluster", the top of that ch 4. The compiler counts these 16 clusters over three stitches with the tr, so its round total reads 32 tr and 32 clusters.
Round 24: the cluster in "tr between clusters" is in the single tr at the tip of each pineapple.
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. Its one printed count (16 pineapples) checks out, and every round closes evenly.
