Free Crochet Pattern: Peacock-Style Pineapple Coasters

Here's the pattern for the peacock-style pineapple coaster I showed you last week. The six coasters in the picture adorn my kitchen and I have to say that their modern funky look works really well amongst my collection of antique earthenware soup tureens, plates and sauce boats. 

These coasters are really easy to make and work up quite quickly so if you're looking for a fun weekend project, this one might just be it. Enjoy!


You'll find the instructions in both ENGLISH and DUTCH below.

De instructies heb ik ook in het Nederlands vertaald en je vindt ze hier onder samen met de Engelstalige beschrijving. Veel haakplezier!

Instructions / Instructies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my Ravelry and Etsy shops you can purchase a premium PDF version of this pattern for just €1.50 excl. VAT (US/UK and DUTCH).
The advantages of the premium PDF are:
  • Step-by-step photos for every row and for the edging
  • Clear layout with instructions in bullet-point format
  • Same graphic design as all of my other PDF patterns
  • You support my work so that I can continue to publish free patterns and offer discount codes
Thank you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use a 3mm hook
Base
Start with a magic (adjustable) ring, which is preferable because with a magic ring you can very neatly determine how large (or small) you would like the opening to be.

Gebruik een 3 mm naald
Basis 
Begin met een magische ring. Voor dit ontwerp is dat aan te bevelen omdat met een magische ring je zelf de grootte van de opening kunt bepalen.

Hecht de draadjes af en span voordat je aan de rand begint.


Edging
Use a 2.5mm hook
  • start with 2sc around first ch3 made
  • ch2
  • (1sc, picot ch3, 1sc) around post of dc of next row
  • ch2
  • (1sc, picot ch3, 1sc) around ch3 of next row
  • repeat until you have 11x (1sc, picot ch3, 1sc), then ch2 and (1sc, picot ch3, 1sc) around ch2 of the 8dc-cluster, (1dc, picot ch3, 1dc) in top of 8dc-cluster, (1sc, picot ch3, 1sc) around final dc of 8dc-cluster
  • ch2
  • now you work down the side of the coaster the same way you worked up the side of the coaster
  • end with ch2 and 2sc around post of final dc

Randje

Gebruik een 2,5 mm naald
  • Begin met 2v rondom eerste 3l van Rij 1
  • 2l
  • (1v, picot 3l, 1v) rondom volgende st van Rij 2
  • 2l 
  • (1v, picot 3l, 1v) rondom volgende st van volgende rij

  • vervolgens 2l en (1v, picot 3l, 1v) rondom de 2l van 8st-cluster
  • (1st, picot 3l, 1st) bovenin 8st-cluster
  • (1v, picot 3l, 1v) rondom het laatste st van 8st-cluster
  • 2l
  • nu haak je verder naar beneden op dezelfde manier als je aan de andere kant hebt gedaan
  • eindig met 2l en 2v rondom laatste st

Peacock-Style Pineapple Coasters: Free Crochet Design

free crochet pattern coaster peacock feather thecuriocraftsroom the curio crafts room

Here they are, my peacock-style pineapple coasters in six different colors and three different edging colors. I think they've turned out quite funky and modern.

I guess that most of you are familiar with the classic stitch pattern that is called the pineapple. While leafing through my late grandmother's craft magazines from the 1970s the other day, I noticed that this pattern was not referred to as pineapple, but as peacock. While the pattern with the chain stitches in the center is definitely reminiscent of pineapples, the shape is very much that of a peacock feather, so I, being obsessed with anything "peacocky," needed no further excuse to design my own motifs. And since I wanted a set of coasters that I could hang from the hooks on the vintage dish rack I have in my kitchen, I went for peacock-style pineapple coasters.

I started by making a small ring so that I could hang the coasters from the hooks and then built the peacock pineapple onto that ring. Then I worked a nice edging in a contrasting color for a funky look. I think the modern-looking coasters make a nice contrast with the more traditional tableware.







Next week I will have the pattern for you in both English and Dutch. I can give you some of the yarn details now - if you haven't already read them in my previous post. I used Scheepjes Catona Denim for the coasters and regular Catona for the edging. Catona Denim is a nice thick and soft cotton yarn very suitable for this kind of project and the regular Catona is a mercerized cotton yarn with a lovely sheen setting off the other yarn very nicely. I'll give you the info on the exact colors I used with the pattern.


In the Netherlands the yarn is available or can be ordered at any store that stocks Scheepjes yarn. Outside of The Netherlands you can order it at WoolWarehouse or at Deramores. *
