No Sew Crochet Pineapple Amigurumi Pattern

This no-sew crochet pineapple amigurumi pattern is a fun craft project where you make a cute little toy pineapple using yarn and a crochet hook.

No Sew Crochet Pineapple Amigurumi

You start with a loop and make a round bottom, adding more stitches to make it bigger, just like a balloon. As you go on, you add special loops to make it look like the rough skin of a pineapple. You don't need to use a needle and thread to stitch different parts together, because this pattern is made all in one piece.

For the top, you change the yarn color to green and make it look like leaves. You put little eyes and a mouth on your pineapple to give it a face. When you're done, you have a soft, cuddly pineapple friend that didn't need any sewing at all!

Materials Needed:

Bernat Blanket Yarn (Bulky weight 6) in colors Sun Soaked (yellow) for the body and Smoky Green for the leaves.
Size 7mm crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Safety eyes (size 20)
A little scrap of black Bernat blanket yarn for the mouth
Stuffing material (polyfill)

Pattern Overview:

Start with the Body (Yellow)

Magic Ring: Make a magic ring with 8 single crochets (SC) inside.
Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (16 SC).
Round 3: Increase in the first stitch, 1 SC in the next repeat around (24 SC).
Round 4: Increase in the first stitch, SC in the next two stitches repeat around (32 SC).
Round 5: SC in the back loops only all around (32 SC).
Round 6: 1 popcorn stitch, 1 SC repeat 16 times all around.
Rounds 7-12: Repeat rounds 6 and 7, alternating the starting stitch to end up with 12 rounds in total, creating the body's texture.

Eyes and Mouth

Place the safety eyes between rounds 9 and 10.
Sew the mouth using a scrap of black yarn, placing it according to your preference.

Switch to Leaves (Green)

Round 13-14: Start decreasing for the top of the pineapple, following the pattern by alternating between popcorn stitches and decreases to taper off the body.
Transition to Green Yarn: For the leaves, switch yarn at the end of round 14.

Leaves Pattern

Round 15: SC around in green, creating a base for the leaves.
Round 16: In front loops only: 1 SC, chain 6, in the second chain from the hook make 1 SC, 1 half-double crochet, 2 double crochets back down the chain. Slip stitch into the next stitch repeat for a total of 8 leaves.
Round 17: Switch to working in the back loops only from round 15 for 16 SC, preparing the base for the next set of leaves.
Round 18 and Beyond: Repeat the process of creating leaves, ensuring to offset the leaves from the previous layer to fill in gaps, aiming for a full, layered leafy top. Continue until the desired top shape is achieved.

Final Decreases and Closing

Closing the Top: After completing the leaves, use the final yarn tail to stitch the center closed securely.

Finishing Touches

Adjust the leaves to your liking, ensuring they have the desired spacing and arrangement.
Make sure the amigurumi is well stuffed and that all ends are securely woven in.

Additional Notes:

This pattern allows for customization in size by adjusting the starting number of SC in the magic ring and the number of increase rounds.
Using safety eyes is optional; you can also embroider the eyes or use buttons if preferred.
