Welcome Home Pineapple Jar Cover
"Wouldn’t this be pretty on your table, out on the porch, while the children are in the yard catching fireflies? A welcoming pineapple for your table. You could make several and place them around on your banister, or make them to hang for hooks to light up your night. I love the wrapped DC stitch and the lacey design. Drop a battery operated tealight candle into the bottom and it will throw beautiful shadows all around. It’s the second in a series of three crochet patterns for you to enjoy this summer."
