Welcome Home Pineapple Basket
"This crochet pattern is fun. The Pineapple has such a rich history, and symbolizes hospitality. This “Welcome Home Pineapple Basket” is one of three designs in my “Welcome Home Pineapple Collection. Use Cotton yarn and a "G" hook to make this sweet design. It will look wonderful on your table this summer at a luau party to hold little candies or treats. You could also use it to hold plastic dinner ware and napkins. The crown on the pineapple is so pretty, and I have added a chart to make it easy for you to crochet."
