Bring the pineapple — crochet’s classic symbol of hospitality — to the table and the bed with Heirloom Tablecloth & Bedspread Designs in Pineapple Crochet, Book 6005!

This 1984 American School of Needlework Big Value Book (ISBN 0-88195-079-3), produced by Jean Leinhauser, gives two join-as-you-go pineapple motifs with steel-hook notes for bedspread-weight thread (Knit-Cro-Sheen, DMC Cebelia 10, and similar). Patterns are crochet only.

Featured designs include:

• Pineapple Lace Tablecloth — open square motif with four pineapples around a floral center; 56" square, 56" × 70", or 63" × 84" (add or subtract 7" motifs)
• Pineapple Flower Bedspread — eight-sided pineapple set into a square; twin or full, worked with two strands of bedspread-weight thread (resize by adding squares for queen, king, or crib)

A complete mid-eighties ASN pineapple booklet for collectors of vintage thread tablecloths and bedspreads.
