Learn to Crochet Pineapples Class

Often the Pineapple motif is seen in doilies and tablecloths made with fine cotton thread and tiny steel hooks. Your instructor for this class, crochet expert Sharon Silverman, has designed a pretty and useful lap blanket using worsted-weight yarn and an H/8/5mm hook -- tools and materials you are already comfortable with. Next, you'll be ready to take on the lovely shawl, again with an H hook and, this time, light-weight cotton yarn. The results are breathtaking!

In this class, you'll learn how to:

• Identify the structure of the Pineapple motif.
• Read a symbol diagram and understand how helpful it can be.
• Work special stitches including the shell and chain-5 shell.
• Properly start a new skein of yarn.
• Create and apply fringe for a wonderful finishing touch.

Class includes complete, step-by-step instructions and symbol diagrams for two exclusive projects including the Pineapple Lap Blanket and the Half-Circle Pineapple Shawl.
