Step-by-Step Pattern

Part 1: Pineapple Body

Round 1: Magic Ring & Puff Stitches

1. Start by making a magic ring: Wrap the yarn around your fingers as shown in the video. Insert your hook, yarn over, and pull through the loop to make one chain. You should now have a flexible ring.
2. Work 10 puff stitches into the magic ring:
   • For each puff stitch, yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull through the loop 5 times.
   • Yarn over one last time and pull through all loops on the hook, then chain 1 to secure the puff stitch.
3. Once you’ve completed 10 puff stitches, pull the magic ring tight to close the loop.
4. Join the last puff stitch to the first using a slip stitch, forming a circle.

Round 2-6: Adding Puff Stitches Between Previous Ones

1. Work one puff stitch in every gap between puff stitches from the previous round:
   • Insert your hook in the space between two puff stitches, yarn over, and pull through 5 times.
   • Yarn over, pull through all loops, and secure with a chain 1.
2. Continue this process for each gap. By the end of the round, you’ll have 10 puff stitches.
3. Repeat this process for six total rounds, maintaining 10 puff stitches per round.

Part 2: Decreasing the Pineapple Body

1. Round 7: Begin decreasing in preparation to close the pineapple body:
   • Chain 1. Insert your hook into the first puff stitch, yarn over, and pull through a loop.
   • Repeat this step in the next puff stitch and the stitch after that. You should now have 4 loops on your hook.
   • Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops to complete a decrease stitch.
2. Continue decreasing across the round until the top of the pineapple narrows.

Closing the Body

1. Stuff the pineapple with fiberfill or stuffing material until full and firm.
2. Final Round: Continue decreasing to close the body entirely:
   • Use the same method to decrease until the top forms a closed end.
   • Finish off with a slip stitch, chain 1, and cut the yarn. Weave in the loose ends.

Part 3: Pineapple Leaves

Attaching Green Yarn

1. Join green yarn to the top of the pineapple by inserting it into the gaps between puff stitches in the final round.

Making Leaves

1. Work puff stitches for the leaves:
   • Insert your hook, yarn over, and pull through the loop 5 times. Yarn over and pull through all loops, then chain 1. Repeat this step to complete one leaf.
2. Add decorative chains to the leaves:
   • After finishing a puff stitch, chain 3. Join the chain back to the base using a slip stitch.
   • Repeat this process to form the pointy details of each leaf.

Completing Rounds of Leaves

1. Continue working puff stitches with decorative chains in gaps around the top of the pineapple.
2. Complete 6 leaves in total, evenly spaced.

Part 4: Adding the Keychain

1. Create a chain for the keyring:
   • Insert the hook into the center of the pineapple top and pull through yarn. Chain 5 stitches.
2. Attach the keyring:
   • Slide the ring onto the chain and secure by slip stitching back into the center of the pineapple.
3. Finish off by weaving in ends and trimming excess yarn.

Final Touches
