Crochet Pineapple Table Runner

Material :

Medium weight number 4 acrylic yarn
4 millimeter crochet hook

Create a Slip Knot and Chain 5:

Make a slip knot.
Chain 5 stitches (ch 5).
Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first chain to form a ring.

Round 1 (18 Double Crochets):

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet [dc]).
Make 17 double crochets (dc) into the ring.
Join to the third chain of the starting ch 3 with a sl st.
You should have a total of 18 dc.

Round 2 (Chain Spaces and Double Crochets):

Chain 4 (counts as the first dc and a chain 1 space).
Dc in the second dc from the previous round, ch 1. Repeat this pattern around.
Join to the third chain of the starting ch 4 with a sl st.

In Round 3 (Chain Spaces and Double Crochets):

Single crochet (sc) in a ch-1 space, ch 2 (counts as the first dc).
Skip the next dc, dc in the next ch-1 space, ch 2. Repeat around.
Join to the second chain of the starting ch 2 with a sl st.

Round 4 (Two Double Crochets into Each Chain Space):

Sc in a ch-2 space, ch 2 (counts as the first dc).
Dc in the same ch-2 space, ch 2.
2 dc in the next ch-2 space, ch 2. Repeat around.
Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc made.

For Round 5 (Three Double Crochets in Each Chain Space):

Sc in a ch-2 space, ch 2 (counts as the first dc).
2 more dc in the same ch-2 space, ch 2.
3 dc in the next ch-2 space, ch 2. Repeat around.
Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc.

Round 6 (Three Chains between Three Double Crochets):

Perform similar steps as round 5 but with 3 chains instead of 2 between each set of 3 dc.
Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc.

Round 7 (Adding Fan Stitches):

Create fan stitches for this round by working (3 dc, 3 ch, 3 dc) in the chain spaces from the previous round.
Add a single V-stitch (dc, 3 ch, dc) in the third chain space periodically as described in the instructions.
Continue the established pattern around and join with a sl st.

Rounds 8-10 (Adding Chains):

Each of these rounds adds an additional chain to the chain spaces between the fans.
Round 8: 2 chains.
Round 9: 3 chains.
For Round 10: 4 chains.

Complete each round as before and join with a sl st.

Creating Pineapples:

After round 10, mark certain V-stitches as indicated and start to create the pineapple pattern.
Work fan stitches, chain spaces, and special clusters to start forming the pineapple shapes.
Each pineapple pattern is several rows and involves creating increasingly larger chain spaces to form the pineapple's body.

Finishing the Pineapples:

Gradually decrease the chain spaces in each row following the pattern given.
Once the pineapple patterns are completed, you'll have a series of these motifs running down the length of the runner.
