Introduction If you've always wanted to make a cute pineapple bag charm, you're in luck! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the steps of creating two styles of pineapple bag charms. Whether you prefer a drawstring style or a lid on top style, you'll be able to make a pineapple bag charm that is both adorable and practical. Let's gather our materials and get started!

Materials Needed To make the pineapple bag charm, you will need the following materials:

1. 5 ply milk cotton yarn
2. 3.5 mm crochet hook
3. Scissors
4. Tapestry needle

Now that we have all the necessary materials, let's proceed to make the pineapple body.

Making the Pineapple Body

Round 1: Starting the Pineapple Body To begin the pineapple body, create a slip knot and chain two. Make five single crochet stitches in the very first chain.

Rounds 2-3: Increasing the Pineapple Body For the second round, make a slip stitch in the first single crochet and then chain one. To increase, make two single crochet stitches in each stitch. Repeat the same steps for the third round, resulting in a total of 15 single crochet stitches.

Rounds 4-9: Creating the Puff Stitch Pattern From the fourth round to the ninth round, we will create a puff stitch pattern. Make a slip stitch in the first single crochet of each round and chain one. To create a puff stitch, make three unfinished half double crochet stitches in the same stitch. After obtaining seven loops on your hook, pull the yarn through all the loops and chain one. Repeat this pattern until you have 15 puff stitches in each round.

Continue repeating these steps until you reach the end of the ninth round. The pineapple body will begin to take shape as you complete each round.

Making the Lid

Round 1: Starting the Lid To start the lid, create a slip knot and chain two. Make six single crochet stitches in the very first chain.

Rounds 2-6: Shaping the Lid For the second round, make an increase in each stitch by making two single crochet stitches in the same stitch. Repeat this pattern for a total of 12 single crochet stitches in the sixth round.

Adding Scallop Stitches to the Lid In the seventh round, make a half double crochet stitch in each stitch. In the eighth round, create a mini scallop stitch pattern. Chain one, skip one stitch, and make three half double crochet stitches in the same stitch. Chain one, skip one stitch, and make a slip stitch in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern five more times to complete the mini scallop stitches. Finish off the lid with a chain one, cut off the yarn, and fasten off.

Making the Leaves

First Layer of Leaves To make the leaves, work in the front loop of the third round. Attach the yarn and chain 10. Starting from the second chain of the hook, make a slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and continue with six double crochet stitches. Skip one stitch and make a single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern to create a total of six leaves.

Second Layer of Leaves For the second layer of leaves, chain eight and follow the same pattern as the first layer. However, make a front post single crochet in between the leaves of the first layer. Repeat this pattern to create a total of five leaves in the second layer.

Creating the Strap

To create the strap, use the same color as the pineapple body. Create a slip knot and chain 45, or adjust the length as desired. Cut off the yarn, fasten off, and secure the strap by weaving in the ends.

Attaching the Lid and Strap

Attach the lid by sewing it onto the fifth round of the pineapple body using a tapestry needle. Make sure both sides are even and secure the lid by sewing it back and forth. Attach the strap by sewing it between two puff stitches in the middle of the pineapple body. Sew back and forth until the strap is secure.

Making the Drawstring Style (Alternative)

To make the drawstring style, finish off the pineapple body with a chain one. Attach the green yarn and chain 10. Starting from the second chain of the hook, make a slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and continue with six double crochet stitches. Make a single crochet in the next stitch and repeat this pattern for a total of 15 leaves. Finish off with a chain one and cut off the yarn.

Create the strap using the same color as the leaves. Make a slip knot and chain 70, or adjust the length as desired. Do not finish it off, but leave it loose. Attach the strap by sewing it back and forth around the bag charm. Secure the strap with a knot and weave in the ends for a neater finish.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your pineapple bag charm. Now you have a cute and unique accessory to hang on your bag or use as a keychain. Feel free to experiment with different colors and embellishments to create your own personalized pineapple bag charm. Enjoy!
