Product Description
from the designer:
"Add a dramatic flourish to your outfit for any occasion with this lovely crocheted shrug-style jacket bordered with a generous pineapple edging. "Wear Lilliana open down the front or pinned at center front. The pineapples fall gracefully around the shawl collar, bottom, and the generous bell sleeves. It’s lovely falling naturally with no pin, or with a new or vintage jeweled brooch or button holding it in place."
Size XS-5X Materials
"Instructions are written so that you can use any soft lightweight worsted yarn, or even sport-weight yarn, with a size H or I hook. Gauge is not really important with this garment; garment is worked to certain measurements. Garment shown is made with Lion Brand Glitterspun. Best results are obtained with yarn containing some bamboo, rayon, nylon, or similar material for proper drape."
Lilliana Pineapple Jacket by Carolyn Christmas
Project Overview
The Lilliana Pineapple Jacket is an intermediate-level crochet design created by independent designer Carolyn Christmas. This downloadable PDF pattern provides detailed instructions for crafting a structured jacket featuring decorative pineapple motifs, a signature element in advanced crochet garment construction.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project is executed entirely in crochet, making it ideal for crafters with intermediate crochet experience. The pineapple pattern element is a classic crochet technique that combines multiple stitches to create an intricate, lacy, three-dimensional texture often used as decorative embellishment on garments.
Stitches and Construction Methods
While the specific stitch breakdown is referenced in the complete pattern instructions, the Lilliana Pineapple Jacket employs traditional crochet stitches commonly used in structured garment construction. The pineapple motif itself typically involves combinations of chain stitches, double crochet, and treble crochet stitches worked in coordinated sequences to form the characteristic diamond-shaped openwork pattern that defines this decorative element.
Materials Required
- Yarn (specific weight and yardage detailed in pattern)
- Crochet hook (size specified in pattern instructions)
