• Beginner advice: This pattern consists of a repeating set of rows (rows 2-8). You’ll be working from the bottom up.
• The starting chain is determined by the yarn/hook type:
  • Thread Version: ch 394
  • Worsted Version: ch 200
  • Custom width: Pattern multiple is 15. (Add extra sets of 15 chains for more pineapples, and add 5 at the end.)
• Only three sides of the shawl are edged. The top of the “pineapples” is left open for wearability and drape.

Conclusion

• Blocking: To show off the lace design, it is best to block your shawl gently by pinning into shape and misting with water, allowing it to dry.
• Custom Sizing: Adjust size by increasing or decreasing starting chains in multiples of 15 (plus 5).
• Edging: Only work edging on both sides and bottom for optimal drape.

Pattern Correction & Tips

• Check counts at the end of each row! Missing a stitch in the pineapple sections will impact overall shape.
• If you get stuck, write out or highlight chain groupings (7s, 3s) on a printed pattern for easy tracking.
• Don’t stress about minor stitch count issues, especially on edging—a little fudge here and there won’t show due to the lacy look.
• Careful with tension: The thread version will look more delicate, while worsted yarn gives a cozier, bolder look.
• If overwhelmed, try a small swatch first.
