Have you noticed how popular pineapples have been lately? Artistic renderings of pineapples are adorning all kinds of things from clothing to accessories to school supplies! This crocheted pineapple applique was inspired by a cartoon image I found online. I like how this one is a little unsymmetrical. For some reason that appeals to me. It would be fun to crochet this in different colors to decorate a tote bag, t-shirt, pencil case, or even a book cover. Just use strong glue to attach them.

Standing single crochet is a method for joining a new yarn and/or color to your work. It is as simple as starting with a slip knot on your hook with your new yarn and making a single crochet stitch. You can use this technique in place of having to tie your new yarn to your work.

Make bath time fun for children by crocheting these cute animal soap savers. Choose from the bear, elephant or lion, or crochet them all! Insert a bar of soap and you’re ready to shower! The soap saver will help lather the soap and replace the need for washcloths. Not only are they cute, but they also create grip on the soap making it less slippery.
