Pineapple

Pineapple charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 21 by 25 motif made for kitchen towels, café-style runners, and foodie gift squares. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Perfect for

Skill level: easy

Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.

Yarn and hook

For a larger pineapple, mercerised cotton in DK or worsted weight on a 3.5–4.5 mm hook keeps the blocks square while giving you a usable throw or cushion size. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.

Project ideas

The pineapple is a natural fit for a foodie gift: try it on a pot-holder panel, or a foodie gift square. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.

Who it's for

The pineapple is an easy win when you are making something for a baker or marking a housewarming. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.

Size, printing, and scaling

Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 5.3-by-6.3-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.

Pineapple filet crochet pattern — FAQ

Can a beginner crochet the pineapple pattern?
Yes. The pineapple is one of the more beginner-friendly charts here — it reads clearly and forgives the odd miscount. If you can work a double crochet and a chain, you can follow it.
Can I print the pineapple pattern or save it as a PDF?
You can. A numbered, printer-friendly chart is one click away, and PDF, PNG, and data exports are all available free from the editor.
Can I resize the pineapple chart?
Yes. Open it in the editor and change the grid dimensions, crop it, or tile it. Because every cell is a true block or open mesh, scaling never makes half-stitches.
Can I make the pineapple in more than one colour?
Filet crochet is traditionally a single colour so the filled and open squares read clearly, but you can work the background in a second shade or add a contrast border.
How many stitches is the pineapple pattern?
The chart is 21 by 25 squares — 525 mesh in total, about 91 of them filled. At 4 mesh per inch that finishes roughly 5.3 by 6.3 inches.
