Pineapple Fanfare Doily

I love doilies with pineapples in them and this one is no exception.  It's called "Pineapple Fanfare Doily" and comes from a Leisure Arts "Little Books" # 75013 called Pineapple Doilies  published in 1999.  It was made with #10 thread and a #8 hook.  It measures 15 inches blocked.  This doily would also be beautiful in Christmas Colors.  Imagine the inner cluster stitches done in green, the outer cluster stitches done in red, and the final round done in gold thread.  It would be beautiful!  Not too much color, but enough to really set it off.




Here's the cover of the little book the pattern is from.




Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Double Pineapple Doily

The Double Pineapple Doily comes from a book called "Sparkling White Doilies" (Star Doily Book No. 91), published by the American Thread Company in 1952.  It was made with #30 thread and #12 hook.  The finished doilies measures 18 1/2 inches.





Here's the front page of the book. May just have to add the oval one on the cover to my "want to make" list...
