FIRST MOTIF . .. Starting at center, ch 10. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 3, 19 dc in ring. Sl st in top of ch-3. 2nd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 7, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc, ch 5, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, sl st in first sc. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next loop, ch 4, 10 tr in same loop, * ch 3, sc in next ch-5 loop, ch 3, 11 tr in next ch-7 loop. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-3 with sl st to top of ch-4. 4th rnd: Ch 5, (tr in next tr, ch 1) 9 times; tr in next tr, * ch 5, tr in next tr, (ch 1, tr in next tr) 10 times. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2, dc in 4th ch of ch-5. 5th rnd: Ch 3, in loop just formed make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc; * (ch 3, sc in next sp) 10 times; ch 3, in next ch-5 loop make 2 dc, ch 2 and 2 dc (shell made). Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 3, in same sp make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc; * ch 4, skip next ch-3, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 8 times; ch 4, in sp of next shell make shell, ch 1 and shell. Repeat from * around, ending with shell, ch 1, sl st in top of ch-3. 7th rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 3, in same sp make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc; * ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 7 times; ch 4, shell in sp of next shell (shell over shell), ch 5, shell over shell. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 3, in same sp make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc; * ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 6 times; ch 4, shell over shell, ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop, ch 5, shell over shell. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: Sl st in next dc and in sp, ch 3, in same sp make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc; * ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 5 times; ch 4, shell over shell, ch 15, shell over next shell. Repeat from * around. Join.
   Now work pineapples individually as follows: 1st row: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 5, shell in same sp, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. 2nd row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. 3rd row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) twice; ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. 4th row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 5, turn. 5th row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next ch-3 loop, ch 4, 2 dc in sp of next shell, ch 1, sl st in sp of last shell, ch 1, 2 dc in same sp as last 2 dc, ch 5, turn, sl st in joining of shells. Break off.
   Attach thread to next free shell on next pineapple, ch 5, shell in same sp and complete as for first pineapple. Work all pineapples in this manner. Now work again in rnds as follows: 1st rnd: Attach thread to last ch-5 loop on any pineapple, sc in same place, * ch 5, dc in next loop, ch 5, tr in next loop, ch 5, in ch-15 loop make 4 d tr, ch 5 and 4 d tr; ch 5, tr in next loop, ch 5, dc in next loop, (ch 5, sc in next loop) twice. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-5 to first sc. 2nd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 5, dc in next tr, (ch 1, d tr in next d tr) 4 times; ch 5, 7 d tr in next sp, ch 5, (d tr in next d tr, ch 1) 4 times; dc in next tr, ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 5, sc in next sc, 3 sc in next loop, sc in next sc. Repeat from * around. Join. 3rd rnd: Sc in same place as last sl st was made, ** ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 1, d tr in next dc, ch 3, (d tr in next d tr, ch 1) 3 times; d tr in next d tr, ch 7, make a 3-d tr cluster over next 3 d tr, * ch 10, holding back on hook the last loop of each d tr make a d tr in same place as last d tr, d tr in next 2 d tr, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made). Repeat from * once more, ch 7, (d tr in next d tr, ch 1) 3 times; d tr in next d tr, ch 3, d tr in next dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, ch 5, sc in next 5 sc. Repeat from ** around. Join and break off.

SECOND MOTIF … Work as for First Motif to within last rnd. Last rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, ch 5, dc in next dc, ch 1, d tr in next dc, ch 3, (d tr in next d tr, ch 1) 3 times; d tr in next d tr; ch 7, make a 3-d tr cluster over next 3 d tr, ch 10, make another cluster as on First Motif, ch 5, sl st in corresponding sp on First Motif, ch 5, make another cluster on Second Motif as before, ch 3, sl st in corresponding sp on First Motif, ch 3, (d tr in next d tr on Second Motif, ch 1) 3 times; d tr in next d tr, ch 1, sl st in corresponding sp of First Motif, ch 1, d tr in next dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, ch 2, sl st in corresponding sp of First Motif, ch 2, sc in next 5 sc, and complete rnd as before, joining next ch-5 sp, the following ch-3 sp, and the next ch-7 and ch-10 sps to corresponding sps of First Motif as before. Make 2 more motifs, joining adjacent sides as Second Motif was joined to First Motif.

FILL IN MOTIF … Attach thread to a sp following a joining, ch 3, holding back on hook the last loop of each dc make 2 dc in same sp, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (dc-cluster made), * ch 1, make a 3-dc cluster in next sp. Repeat from * around, ending with ch-1, sl st in top of first cluster.

RUFFLE ... 1st rnd: Attach thread to a corner sp, ch 3 and make dc closely around. Join. 2nd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, * ch 10, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 10, sl st in first sc. 3rd to 8th rnds incl: Sl st to center of next loop, sc in same loop, * ch 10, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. Break off at end of 8th rnd. Starch lightly and press.
