Face Assembly

Embroider a small mouth with black thread below and between eyes.

Leaves (Top)

Join green yarn into a stitch at the top of your pineapple.

Leaf Row 1 (small):

Ch 10.
Sl st in next 3 ch from hook.
Sc in next 2 ch.
Hdc in next 2 ch.
Dc in last 2 ch.
Sl st into top of pineapple (next adjacent stitch).

Leaf Row 2 (medium):

Ch 11.
Sl st in next 2 ch.
Sc in next 2 ch.
Hdc in next 2 ch.
Dc in next 2 ch.
Tr in next 2 ch.
Sl st into top of pineapple (next stitch).

Leaf Row 3 (large/full):

Ch 12.
Sl st in 2nd ch from hook.
Sc in next 2 ch.

Dc in next 2 ch.
Dc in next ch again (for two in a row).
Tr in next 2 ch.
Tr in last ch again (for two in a row).
Sl st into top of pineapple (next stitch).

Alternate these three leaves in whatever order you like, filling the top of the pineapple. For a fuller crown, make a new leaf in every stitch; for a sparser look, in every other stitch.

Finish off and weave in the yarn end.

Finishing

Adjust and shape your leaves with your fingers.
Pull out bobble textures from the inside with your fingers or a blunt object if desired.
Make sure the figure is evenly stuffed and body seam is closed.

Conclusion & Tips

Congratulations, your mini pineapple is complete!
For a precise, neat finish, keep your stitches consistently tight, do not overstuff, and make sure to alternate the leaf types for a natural look or repeat the same for a uniform tuft.

Pattern Correction:

If you prefer to use the traditional bobble stitch, you may do so for the bobble rounds, but the special "puff" version described here is what gives this pineapple its unique character.

Tip:

When sewing up the top or attaching the leaves, try to stagger their placements so there are no obvious gaps, and to give a full 3D effect.
