Love it. Got the apple thingy going on in the kitchen. Two will do greatly for the Poohster! Thank you for posting and sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteVery nice :) love your site!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing this pattern it is one mom use to have sis and I make as sachets when were young girls.
ReplyDeleteI love this design and I am a very seasoned crocheter BUT the directions were very hard for me to understand, I just looked at the photo and went by myself to get it made. Always love the pineapple design. I want it to hang on my ref. for a pop of red for Christmas. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Edna,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog! I'm sorry you had difficulty with the pattern. I try to write my instructions as clear as possible, but sometimes what makes sense in my head doesn't always make sense once it's written out.
Can you tell me what part(s) were not clear and I will try to re-write the pattern to make more sense.
Happy Stitching!
April
Hello! I loved this pattern very much, it is very well explained. I hope you can post more free patterns for if this one was easy to follow I know the others will be as simple as this one was. Hope to see more of your patterns...god bless
ReplyDeleteHello. I also really like the pattern but am having trouble with row 15. Could you please provide a little more detail.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Judy
Hi Judy, I'm sorry you're having trouble. Basically what you are doing in row 15 is a join as you go technique to connect the 2 shells together. You will work the first shell as you have in previous rows, then do a dc in that center ch 2 space, then you will do the first half of the next shell, but instead of doing the ch 1 you will sl st in the ch 1 of that first shell of the current row (15) to connect those two shells. That will create the bottom of the apple, then you do the second half of that same shell as you normally would.
DeleteI did revise that last row when I made my Pear Trivet. (found here: http://dishclothdiaries.blogspot.com/2012/05/pear-trivet.html ) I added a detailed photo for the last row on that pattern so it's easier to see what to do. It's the same pattern as the apple trivet except for row 15, so if you wanted to use that one instead you wouldn't need to frog anything. :)
Hope that helps!
