Here is a crochet pattern for how-to make a pineapple soap cozy (or pineapple gift bag).
After sharing my Carrot Soap Cozy (or Small Gift Bag) [https://www.etsy.com/listing/775995930/crochet-pattern-carrot-soap-cozy-or], I have been wanting to make one that looked like a pineapple complete with the leaves.
I thought the criss crossed stitch pattern was appropriate for the pattern/texture of an actual pineapple, and the leaves are a modified version of my Super Easy Carrot Applique.
This little bag is excellent for using as a soap cozy (gift a homemade soap with it!), candy/favor pouch (for a tropical party!) or as a gift bag (gift with some Summer themed earrings.
Materials:
- 70 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Yellow & Sage Green
- H8/5mm Crochet Hook
- Tapestry Needle
- Optional, Jewelry Pliers
Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives to Lily Sugar n Cream: Bernat's Handicrafter, Red Heart's Smoothie, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran
Other Recommended Yarns (with I9/5.5mm Hook): Red Heart's Super Saver, Caron's One Pound, Bernat's Super Value
Weaving in ends of a tough yarn, like cotton yarn, can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to [carefully] help pull the tapestry needle through the work.
Time Spent:
One hour.
Measurements:
4.25" Wide by 5.75" Tall (not including leaves)
