Pineapple Luncheon Set No. 7779

Last updated on September 24th, 2015 at 05:34 pm

This lacy pineapple luncheon set is a vintage 1946 crochet pattern which includes a 16 inch diameter centerpiece; 12 inch place doily; 9 inch bread-and-butter doily and, to complete the set, a 6 inch glass doily. Free pattern instructions for all four set pieces are included here, along with digitally enhanced images scanned from the original vintage pattern booklet.

A Modern Take:  I have added beautiful modern photos, courtesy of Kathie Sinteff Stuckey, who followed the centerpiece pattern, using a size 5 crochet hook and size 10 crochet thread.  Her finished centerpiece, pictured in this post, measured 22 inches without the final looped edge.
