Material :

• Medium weight number 4 acrylic yarn
• 4 millimeter crochet hook

Create a Slip Knot and Chain 5:

• Make a slip knot.
• Chain 5 stitches (ch 5).
• Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first chain to form a ring.

Round 1 (18 Double Crochets):

• Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet [dc]).
• Make 17 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
• Join to the third chain of the starting ch 3 with a sl st.
• You should have a total of 18 dc.

Round 2 (Chain Spaces and Double Crochets):

• Chain 4 (counts as the first dc and a chain 1 space).
• Dc in the second dc from the previous round, ch 1. Repeat this pattern around.
• Join to the third chain of the starting ch 4 with a sl st.

In Round 3 (Chain Spaces and Double Crochets):

• Single crochet (sc) in a ch-1 space, ch 2 (counts as the first dc).
• Skip the next dc, dc in the next ch-1 space, ch 2. Repeat around.
• Join to the second chain of the starting ch 2 with a sl st.

Round 4 (Two Double Crochets into Each Chain Space):

• Sc in a ch-2 space, ch 2 (counts as the first dc).
• Dc in the same ch-2 space, ch 2.
• 2 dc in the next ch-2 space, ch 2. Repeat around.
• Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc made.

For Round 5 (Three Double Crochets in Each Chain Space):

• Sc in a ch-2 space, ch 2 (counts as the first dc).
• 2 more dc in the same ch-2 space, ch 2.
• 3 dc in the next ch-2 space, ch 2. Repeat around.
• Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc.

Round 6 (Three Chains between Three Double Crochets):

• Perform similar steps as round 5 but with 3 chains instead of 2 between each set of 3 dc.
• Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc.

Round 7 (Adding Fan Stitches):

• Create fan stitches for this round by working (3 dc, 3 ch, 3 dc) in the chain spaces from the previous round.
• Add a single V-stitch (dc, 3 ch, dc) in the third chain space periodically as described in the instructions.
• Continue the established pattern around and join with a sl st.

Rounds 8-10 (Adding Chains):

• Each of these rounds adds an additional chain to the chain spaces between the fans.
• Round 8: 2 chains.
• Round 9: 3 chains.
• For Round 10: 4 chains.

• Complete each round as before and join with a sl st.

Creating Pineapples:

• After round 10, mark certain V-stitches as indicated and start to create the pineapple pattern.
• Work fan stitches, chain spaces, and special clusters to start forming the pineapple shapes.
• Each pineapple pattern is several rows and involves creating increasingly larger chain spaces to form the pineapple’s body.

Finishing the Pineapples:

• Gradually decrease the chain spaces in each row following the pattern given.
• Once the pineapple patterns are completed, you’ll have a series of these motifs running down the length of the runner.

Cutting Yarn and Completing Project:

• Once you’ve completed the crochet runner according to the length you desire, cut the yarn and weave in the ends to finish your project.
