Pineapple top written pattern, chart








































Hello,
I’m getting many requests for a written pattern for this pineapple top. I made one around half year ago, but I found out there were a few mistakes in it. I’m terribly sorry, and it has taken me a long time to fix it., but now it is correct. In the last fortnight I have been crocheting another top, rewriting the pattern for it, and making sure I have got the written pattern right.

I have made a brand new, correct pattern with many pictures to help guide you through the crocheting, and supporting the written pattern for this top.
I’m adding the charts as well. It may be easier for some to compare it with the written pattern while working.

I am providing the pattern for this very pretty pineapple top for symbolic price only, and you can find it here:






































Have a nice week

Grey “Stella” bag/purse


























Hello,
I came across some pictures of very nice crochet purses from Stella McCartney. They are looking absolutely fantastic, so is the price. Not many of us can afford to buy one of those – I wish I could. I don’t have the original pattern, of course, but I do have an imagination (I think).
I put together all my crochet skills I have gained so far and I came up with my version of this purse. It took quite bit of time and effect but I’m happy with the result.

I used a little bit different technique to make the handles strong and interesting.

























I tried another way to strengthen the bottom of the purse, which you will find helpful.

























I’m putting zippers and lining to most of my purses. This time I had a little helper. Oh my, she’s growing so fast.


























There are pictures and a chart to help guide you through the crocheting, and supporting the written pattern for this purse.
