You will need water-soluble Vilene stabilizer and 50- or 60-weight cotton embroidery threads of three colors - pale blue, light sky blue and bright sky blue. For this doily we used Signature quilting thread. The finished size of our table topper is about 30" in diameter.
Step One: The Crochet Pineapple Doily is a FSL crochet-style design and should be embroidered according to the General Guidelines and Step-by-Step Guide to Embroidering our Crochet-Style FSL designs.
Step Two: For our table topper, the design needs to be embroidered thirty seven times.
Pale blue - 7 times
Light sky blue - 12 times
Bright sky blue - 18 times
Wash the stabilizer away and spread on an even surface to air dry. Press if needed.
Step Three: Lay out the ready crochet parts on your table: pale blue parts in the center and the first row around the center. The second row around the center is formed by twelve light sky blue parts; and the last, third, row is formed by the eighteen bright blue parts.
Thread both the needle and the bobbin with the same thread that you used for the embroidery and, using a zig-zag, stitch together the parts. For bordering colors, use the darker thread.
