PINEAPPLES

Last Updated: October 2020

Pineapple tatting is rare and difficult - or difficult and therefore rare. I love the look of pineapple crochet and always watch for with interest various designers' interpretation of this crochet staple. I should have started this list a long time ago - and the attendant notebook of patterns that always gets put together to put them all in one place for reference. I'm still questing for a rumored Myrtle Hamilton Pineapple Doily published some time in the last century. I'm also seeking a pineapple sachet pattern that Angeline Crichlow used as a workshop pattern she taught. If you have any information, please contact me!

PATTERN: Pineapple Heaven Doily(large)
DESIGNER: Doretha Albee
NEWSLETTER: Tatting Knots & Notes
DESIGNER: Doretha Albee
DATE: Nov. 1995(Vol. 11:2)
PAGES: 10
PUBLISHER: Doretha Albee, Santee CA
Dimensions(HxW): 11 1/2" x 8";
ISSN: None;

NOTES: "Pineapple Heaven" Doily by Doretha Albee was originally published in Doretha's newsletter "Tatting Knots and Notes", but was reprinted in a smaller version in Georgia Seitz's wonderful "Tatting With Friends" - and both sizes were reprinted in Doretha's book "Tatting Knots & Notes Revisited, Book 1" . Doretha states that the doily comes out to 12" diameter in size 40 Lizbeth thread. She based it on a crochet pattern in Anchor's "Elegant Pineapple, Lace Crochet, Book 10", Art. #17749. Since the patterns are diagrammed instead of written out, she felt it wouldn't be hard to tat them rather than crochet them. Doretha's newsletter was rare and hard to find, but I was given custody of all of Doretha's manuscripts, and permission to digitize and offer the pdfs for free here! It will take me some time to get everything scanned and converted, but they will be available to download from "Tatting Knots & Notes" catalog and review page.

NOTES: "Pineapple Heaven" Doily by Doretha Albee was originally published in Doretha's newsletter "Knots and Notes", but was reprinted in a smaller version in Georgia's wonderful "Tatting With Friends", and in a comb-bound compilation of patterns from her newsletter titled "Tatting Knots & Notes Revisited, Book 1". "Tatting With Friends" is an especially great find, and not just because of Doretha's amazing doily - though it contributes strongly. "Tatting With Friends" is sadly out of print at the time of this writing. "Knots & Notes Revisited, Book 1" is available from this website as a free digital download courtesy of Doretha's daughter Deana. See the above listing for the larger version for links.

PATTERN: Pineapple Doily
DESIGNER: Nellie Becker
BOOK: Christmas Tatting
FORMAT/DATE: TPB:1998
PAGES: 16
PUBLISHER: House of White Birches, Berne, IN
Dimensions(HxW): 11 1/2" x 8";
ISBN: None;

NOTES: "Pineapple Doily" by Nellie Becker of South Royalton, Vermont is another lovely and unique piece that really captures the look of the crocheted pineapple doilies. Instructions are in written notation and there is no diagram, but the instructions are broken down well enough I don't think anyone would have trouble following them. IOLI lending library has this booklet and may be the only way you can find it now - it's long out of print.

NOTES: Carolyn Craig has done a series of pineapple patterns that she hasn't chosen to publish yet, but has been displaying drool-worthy photos on her Facebook page. This is the doily that started it all. She credits Camelia Crapo for tips on doing pineapples in tatting. I really really hope she puts out a book with all her pineapples - it would be the first of its kind and I don't think anyone would ever surpass it. Carolyn is an amazing designer with more talent in her little finger than I have in my whole body!

TITLE: Gwen's Request
DESIGNER: Camelia Crapo (Scheidegger)
PUBLISHED IN: FACEBOOK group Just-Tatting
FORMAT/DATE: JPG: Nov. 1, 2020
PAGES: 1
PUBLISHER: Self



NOTES: It's called Gwen's Request because her friend Gwen asked for a tatted version of a small crochet doily that she had, and Camelia created this. I've left the photo full-size so that it can be downloaded(or blown up on your own screen) for the stitch counts. Camelia has put the stitch counts on the picture, and has only two conditions for using it - 1) Keep her name with it as designer/creator, and 2) It is free to any who want it. She also says "Things you will need to figure out on your own:
-Where to start
-Where to end -notice there are 6 ends?!
-How to move from row to row
-measured picots and how to twist them and attach them easily to the next row up
-how long to make the measured picots depends on the size of your stitches and the size of thread you use".

PATTERN: Maude's Pineapple

DATE: April 1929
PAGES:
PUBLISHER:
Dimensions(HxW):
ISSN: None;
FREE DOWNLOAD: https://www.craftree.com/get_attached_file/301


NOTES: This misses being the earliest tatted pineapple by exactly four(4) years. Both early pineapple patterns were published in the same American magazine. Karey Solomon reprinted this one with updated(and much easier to follow) instructions in "Tatting Times", February 2005. The original pattern is no longer under copyright, and Craftree.com has a nice pdf of it available for download(Thank you!) I also have the issue it was published in, if you have questions. Or you can buy the first 25 years of "Tatting Times" from Karey and get a huge bonanza of patterns - proceeds from the sale of the CD go to a worthy charity.

PS- I found this reprinted once again in the May 1984 issue of "Tatting Knots & Notes" published and edited by Kathryn J Johns.

NOTES: This small motif is tatted over a cabone ring. The book is still readily available through the larger on-line suppliers like Handy Hands. It's the only book I'm aware of for tatting with the double bobbin shuttles. The Houtz brothers make a beautiful wood double bobbin shuttle that might be easier to use than the metal one I've had for 25 years.

TITLE: Pineapple Doily
DESIGNER: Myrtle Hamilton
PUBLISHED IN: ???
FORMAT/DATE: ???
PUBLISHER: Tower Press, Inc.?



NOTES: Georgia Seitz told me she thought Myrtle had published a pineapple doily pattern, and I've been searching fruitlessly for it ever since. I'm a huge fan of Myrtle's and have made a point of trying to gather a complete collection of all her patterns - which is really difficult. She published exclusively through magazines, mostly with Tower Press and Workbasket. Tower Press put out a lot of magazines with very similar formats, so Myrtle's patterns got spread across several of them. I'm still struggling to complete my run of "Popular Needlework", "Women's Household", and "Women's Circle", and have only a small handful of "Women's Comfort." We will likely never know just how many of the "Workbasket" patterns are unattributed Hamilton's. If anyone has more information - or issues to donate or sell - please get in touch through my contact page. I have permission from the family to digitize and make the PDFs available of her patterns, so that is another huge project on the already long list...

NOTES: This is the earliest tatted pineapple pattern I've come across - and it's a doozy. Instructions are in old-school written notation, and I have not checked them for accuracy. Mrs. Wilburn included four different tatted bonnets in her article, but the pineapple bonnet is the prettiest and most elaborate. This is the pattern that Kendra Goodnow based her doily off of!

PUBLISHER: Courier-Gazette, Inc., Rockland, Maine



NOTES: I think Dora Young's book is a must-have for any tatting reference library. The fact that it has a pineapple doily is just frosting on that very rich cake. I think Dora Young is quite right to rave about it. Prepare to have your mind blown. Thanks to Heidi Nakayama, it is now back in print with 14 supplement pages of Dora Young's Story. Heidi did all of us a very great favor.
