Comments: Just another pineapple doily, with an intricate border. Difficult and the directions are somewhat confusing (if you want to try it feel free to ask me for clarifications!)

Size : 8 inches diameter (20 cm)

Material :Perle' thread no. 16 (Cebelia 30 should be a good substitute), hook 0.9 mm (American #12)

Stitches :ch, sl st, sc, dc,tr, picot = 3 ch, sl st in first ch, sh = shell = 2 dc, 2 ch, 2 dc in same sp, dcl= 3 dc cluster= 3 dc worked in same st or sp and closed together, dclsh= cluster shell = (dcl, 2 ch, dcl), dcp = cluster shell with picot = (dcl, picot, dcl)

Difficulty: difficult

12.sl st in next sp,* (sc in next 1-ch sp, 3 ch) 6 times, sc in next sp, 6 ch, (2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr, 2 ch, 2 tr) in next sh, 6 ch *; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st.

13.sl st in next sp,* (sc in next 1-ch sp, 3 ch) 5 times, sc in next sp, 5 ch, sh in next 2-ch sp, 2 ch, sh in next sp, 5 ch*; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st.

14.sl st in next sp,* (sc in next 1-ch sp, 3 ch) 4 times, sc in next sp, 5 ch, sh in sh, 2 ch, sh in next sp, 2 ch, sh in sh, 5 ch *; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st.

15.sl st in next sp,* (sc in next 1-ch sp, 3 ch) 3 times, sc in next sp, 5 ch, sh in sh, 2 ch, dclsh in next sp, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, dclsh in next sp, 2 ch, sh in sh ,5 ch *; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st.

16.sl st in next sp,* (sc in next 1-ch sp, 3 ch) 2 times, sc in next sp, 5 ch, sh in sh, 2 ch, dclsh in next sp, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, 10 tr in next sc, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, dclsh in dclsh, 3 ch, sh in sh, 5 ch *; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st.

17.sl st in next sp,* sc in next 1-ch sp, 5 ch, sh in sh, 2 ch, dclsh in dclsh, 2 ch, sc in next sp, 2 ch, sh in next st, 2 ch, (tr in next tr, 1 ch) 9 t, tr in next tr, 2 ch, sh in next st, 2 ch , sc in next sp, 2 ch, dclsh in dcl sh, sh in sh, 5 ch*; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread.

18. Join thread in a shell after a pineapple, , *sh in sh, 2 ch, dclsh in dclsh, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, dclsh in next sc, 3 ch, sc in next sh, 3 ch, dc not closed in first tr, (dc closed with previous in next tr, 2 ch, dc not closed in next tr)7 t, dc closed with prev in last tr, 3 ch, sc in dclsh, 3 ch, dclsh in next sc, 3 ch, sc in next sp, 3 ch, dclsh in dclsh, 2 ch, shell in sh*; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread.

19. Join in first dc of first of two contiguous shells, *20 ch, sl st in last dc of next sh, turn, (sc in next ch) 20 times, turn, dc not closed in first sc, (dc closed with prev in next sc, 2 ch, dc not closed in same sc) 19 times, dc closed with previous in last sc , 2 ch, picot in next dclsh, 3 ch, dcp in next sc, 2 ch, picot in next dclsh, 2 ch, dcp in next sc, 2 ch, (sc in next 2-dc cluster, 2 ch) 8 times, dcp in next sc, 2 ch, picot in next dclsh, 2 ch, dcp in next sc, 3 ch, picot in next dclsh, 2 ch sc in first dc of next sh**; Repeat * to * 6 times, join with sl st to first st. Cut thread, weave in ends

N.B.

• Always substitute (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
  • first sc with 1 ch, sc;
  • first hdc with 2 ch;
  • first dc with 3 ch;
  • first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
• Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
