Pineapple Doilies

For my first Pinterest project, I thought I would make these pretty pineapple doilies that are featured in Crochet-World Magazine.  You can find the pattern with this link:  http://www.crochet-world.com/newsletters-proofing.php?mode=article&article_id=1920&key=CWNL.  

Here they are before I blocked them.  This pattern is easy to understand.  If your like me, then you'll want to mark your place at the beginning of each round.  I recommend using a paper clip or a stitch marker to do this.  Pay close attention to each of your stitches so you don't miss any stitches.  

You can block these doilies using different methods.  I used the method here on this you tube video put out by Beanie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY5xlbtuN3s. You can also use liquid or spray starch to block your doilies.  Here is a link to show you how to do that:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjDoI5VXK9o.  

there are other methods for blocking your doilies, you just need to do a little research to find one that suits your needs.  Here is a picture of them after they have been blocked:

I used beanie's method for the pink one, but I used just plain water to block the blue and cream ones.  

I hope you enjoyed this post on the pineapple doilies.  Leave me a comment if you want to see a specific project.  Thanks for joining me.
