Pineapple Increase Stitch

Pineapple (increase stitch)

Doiles Containing Stitch
Harvest Pineapple

Sample

Used Coats Big Ball size 20. Used 3 rows of plain netting over #4 kn before begining first row of stitch. Began with 15 loops.

NOTE:
The amount of increase can vary depending on how close the pineapple stitches are placed to each other, how many knots are places in loops in round 4, and how many loops are net together in the decrease rounds/rows.
