GAUGE: 3 shells and 3 ch-6 sps make 2 inches; 5 rows of shells make 1 inch.

Repeat from * across until 29 shells are complete. Cut off remaining chain, ch 6 and, working along opposite side of starting chain, ** make a shell at base of next shell, ch 6. Repeat from ** across, ending with ch 6, sl st in top of turning chain. 2nd rnd: Sl st in next dc and in sp, ch 3, in same sp make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc; * ch 6, shell in sp of next shell (shell over shell made). Repeat from * across one side, ch 2, in end ch-6 sp make 2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc (corner shell made), ch 2; in same sp make 2 dc, ch 3 and 2 dc (another corner shell made); ch 2, shell in sp of next shell, ch 6 and work across other side to correspond. Make end as before. Join. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, in same sp make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc—each rnd begins in this way and this will be referred to as shell over shell.

PINEAPPLES ... 1st row: Sl st in next dc and in sp, turn, shell over shell, ch 4, 12 loops over pineapple, ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. 2nd row: Shell over shell, ch 4, 11 loops over pineapple, ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. Work in this manner, having 1 loop less over pineapple on each row until 1 loop remains. Ch 5, turn. Next row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in loop, ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn; (shell over shell) twice. Break off. Attach thread to 1st shell of next pineapple and complete in same manner. Continue thus until all pineapples are worked.

EDGING ... 1st rnd: Attach thread in ch-1 sp between shells (at base of points), sc in same place, ch 3, * shell in turning chain of next shell, ch 2. Repeat from * around pineapple, ch 3, sc in next ch-1 sp between shells (at base of pineapples), ch 3 and continue thus around. Join. 2nd rnd: Sl st to center of next shell, ch 5, * sc in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, in sp of next shell make dc, ch 4, sc in 4th ch from hook, and dc; ch 2. Repeat from * around pineapple, ending with dc in sp of last shell, dc in sp of 1st shell on next pineapple, ch 2, sc in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, and continue thus around. Join and break off.
