This shawl looks very elegant! I have been meaning to try a pattern with a pineapple design. I like that the pattern looks simple and its repetitive throughout. Although its supposed to be an easy pattern, Im a little wary about how my attempt(s) will turn out after reading peoples comments. A few people seem to be having some trouble and it may just be a matter of reading the pattern carefully. Im not a beginner with crochet, but I still have trouble with some patterns (or I could just be extra critical of my products).

In row 1 of the instructions, what is tr? This isn't in the glossary of terms.

Hi there! tr is Treble or Triple crochet. I will update the glossary presently. Thanks so much for your question! -Editors of FaveCrafts

That row uses a 'trCL Shell' which is trCl chain3 trCl into the previous row trCl which will double your number of trCl

I'm already stuck on row 3! I've ended up with 12 clusters and 12 tr, not 11 tr. I don't see how it could come out any other way. Please help!

No one has advised on row 16, how can you go all the way across to the next ch-3space with only chaining 3??? The area is too big.. Please advise

archiearchaea

Nov 16, 2015

There's a comment way down that explains it. A lot of us are misreading row 15 it starts/ends with a shell, not just a cluster. So the ch3 is between the shell clusters. Sigh.

Contariii 5405352

Apr 11, 2016

Row 15 is an increase row. Therefore instead of trcl-shell in ch3 space it's trcl-shell INCREASE. The increase stitch is found under the special terms. That will fix row 16.

rghemple 2557452

I'm having difficulties transitioning from row 15 to row 16. row 16 indicates I'm using check 3 space in the beginning but the first ch3 space is a trcl. Can someone please help me.

The instructions are correct, but could be clearer - cluster in cluster, SKIP NEXT (CH3 TC CH 3), picot (in the cluster you just made), cluster in next cluster

I am in love with the black pineapple shawl and cant wait to crochet it but I am am having a hard time downloading the black pineapple lace shawl for weeks now. I do not own a printer I have to save the pattern on a usb stick and take it to a friends to print for me. Please tell me how to download it. Thank you

Have you tried "copy all" and then pasting into a Word document which you can then save on your hard drive. You will have to work from your computer screen but at least you will be able to read it.

I have made this shawl six times. It is beautiful. I admit that row 10 stumped me until I studied the picture and saw where the picot was actually merging the clusters from row 9. Had to,frog it a few times but once I did it I remember. It is a beautiful pattern. Karen Drouin is a good designer.

I also am having trouble with Row 10!!!! Confused where the * is stating picot.....is anyone going to answer us back?

marshmella22

Mar 05, 2015

I figured out row ten. You picot in the chain 9 spaces, but in the spaces where the previous row is ch 3 tr chain 3, you do that again. So it's trCl, chain 5, picot, chain 5, trCl, chain 3, tr, ch 3 and repeat. You should end with 12 picots )

I found what I did wrong in row 10, when I got to row 11. Then I had to undo the whole row 10. Unfortunately, that's often the way I have to learn.

mmarieweibel 30559 04

Jul 06, 2013

I am also having trouble with row 10. It says to picot and TrCl in the next TrCl. are they supposed to be together? I searched the comments and nobody had that problem figuring out the pattern. Help! I'd give it a better rating if i could figure it out!

mmarieweibel 30559 04

Instructions for Row 16 doesn't make any sense. My teacher and I couldn't figure it out. If you follow the direction you will skip the first pineapple which can't be. Please correct the error. Thanks.

May 26, 2013

help row 10! it does not say what to do with the with the 11 treb from row 8 and 9 or am I missing something? helpppppp! I am going crazy can't get off ten and it was going so well can anyone help?????

thierryd20 5446181

You have a chain 9 space right after you have done beg trCL. So put sc about in middle of that ( or 5th chain link). Then you do your first picot. See directions for the picot. it's just a circle created from a chain. I am actually doing the Goddess shawl which appears to be the same pattern, but it's in beige. You create the picot by chaining 6 then join with slipstitch. The goddess shawl pattern has more detailed pictures , but the final part of edging appears to be longer. The picot will hold the top of the pineapple in the next row #11. If you look at that picture it may help.You do the picot in alternating sc from row 9 and trCL.

Did you follow Row 7 and start with a tr cluster shell? That adds another cluster to the beginning of the row.

mrsalley 7250843

Oct 13, 2012

My problem started in row 8. by following the directions, there is no way to get 24 clusters. there is no place it says to make additional clusters. When you follow the directions, there are still 12 clusters?????

Can someone please help me. I don't know what to do at the beginning of row 16 where it says to ch 3, sc in next ch-3 space, ch3 etc. There is no ch 3 space except after the pineapple. Do I skip the pineapple? I've tried several things but can't get it right. Frustrated!!

I had the same problem when creating this shawl. The problem is in row 15. Each row begins with a beginning treble cluster (Beg-trCl), but row 15 actually begins with a beginning treble cluster SHELL, which is the beginning treble cluster, chain 3, and another treble cluster. I missed the SHELL the first time around and when I got to row 16 couldn't figure out where the chain 3 space was. When I re-read the row 15 directions again (OK - three times), I finally found that one little word that made a HUGE difference!

I have always loved pineapple crochet. I've only just now had the confidence to try one. This is beautiful! However I am having trouble with the edging, particulary in row 1 where you come to the beginning of the center ring. Am I supposed to continue with "ch3, sc in end of next row?" Can someone please help me?

I don't understand row 10 (Beg-trCl in first trCl, ch 5, sc in 5th ch of next ch-9 space, picot, ch 5, trCl in next trCl, *picot,) Am I doing a picot right in the top of the trCl I just did?

adobos93365 830202 7

The definition of picot is wrong; sl st in the first st of chain.

I love the pattern but am stuck on row 13 which seems wrong as written. Anyone have some tips? I don't see how I can sc in next ch6 space 5 times when I only have 5 loops. (it seems like it should be 4 times) Thanks!

junkmale

Mar 08, 2012

Tricky I know, but the wrinkle is that the sc in the ch6 space... comes BEFORE the ch6. So the single crochets go into each loop, and then six chains, such that the last ch6 is actually not leading to another loop, but to the ch3 between the prior row's shell, where the next shell goes. :)

This pattern is exactly the same as the Spa Aphrodite Shawl from Michaels.com . I believe the original belongs to caronyarn.com as both patterns use the same yarn from Caron Yarn. And, Fave Crafts states at the top of page that it is from Caron Yarn. Michael's makes no such claim. Simply lists pattern under their name. Even the same model is used in picture. The colors are different. If you read the instructions there is very little difference in the wording. I did find however, that Michael's pattern is four rows longer (rows 19-22) worked in 'fish net' stitches. This does not change the pattern enough to be able to claim it as their pattern. I will be making the Pineapple Lace Shawl from Caron Yarn as printed from Fave Crafts. The pattern is wonderful.

For Elaine Adams question. I would suggest trying using smaller gauge yarn and smaller hook. A pineapple pattern may be a bit too adult looking, but you could try looking for other doily patterns. Play around with it. It sounds like fun and you could end up with something good enough to share with the rest of us!. Zhizara
