   Now work pineapples individually as follows: 1st row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 9 times; ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. Work back and forth over this pineapple only, making 1 loop less on each row until 1 loop remains. Ch 5, turn. Next row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. Following row: (Shell over shell) twice. Ch 5, turn. Next row: (2 dc in sp of next shell) twice. Break off. Attach thread to sp of next free shell, ch 5, shell in same shell, ch 4 and complete pineapple as before. Work all pineapples in this manner.

EDGING … 1st rnd: Attach thread to ch-5 loop on first row, ch 3, in same loop make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc; and, working along top edge, * ch 2, make a shell at base of next shell, ch 2, shell in center st of ch-9. Repeat from * across top edge and along side edge (making shells in loops of side edge) until work reaches end of first pine­apple, ending with a shell in last loop. Ch 2, sc in ch-2 sp between pine­apples, ch 2, shell in loop of next pine­apple. Complete to correspond. Join. 2nd rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 7, sc in 4th ch from hook (picot), dc in same sp, * ch 3, sc in next sp (between shells), ch 3, in sp of next shell make dc, ch-4 picot and dc. Repeat from * around to last shell of first pineapple, dc in sp of last shell, picot, dc in shell of next pineapple, ch 3 and complete to correspond. Join and break off.

ARM PIECES … Make a chain 10 inches long and work as for Chair Back until there are 13 shells on row. Cut off remaining chain. Ch 5, turn and work exactly as for Chair Back.
