Mom's Pineapple Basket

Pineapples, shells and lacets are used to create a lovely crochet basket for mom. Great for holding hand towels or a dried flower arrangement and is accentuated with a unique styled handle and then trimmed with large satin bows! This project is sculpted using either a commercial stiffener or a home made solution. For shaping we recommend CYBAR, the ultimate blocking and shaping board for the base and an oatmeal box for the basket section. To complete, you'll need 2-yds (1/2-5/8” wide) ribbon.

Medium: #10 cotton thread

Hook size: Steel crochet hook size 8

Measurements: 10 ½” T x 11½” W x 5” D.

So far this was my favorite project! so far I have done two in blue, one for my mother in law and the other for my neighbor! Thank you. The next project I am hoping to make is the other cute little basket "Bridal Shell candy basket" for this girl that is having her sweet 15!"

Sara writes: "Thank you for the follow-up. I absolutely adore this pattern. It is exactly what I was seeking. The pineapple pattern is my favorite crochet design probably because my grandmother's home was filled with them on the backs and arms of chairs as well as bedspreads, tablecloths, and doilies, and she was the greatest grandmother a child could have. This is the prettiest basket design with pineapples that I have ever seen and I have pattern books dating back to the 1930's that I inherited. Thanks again for the making this lovely pattern available and God bless you."
