To Make Points: 1st row: Ch 3, turn. Work shell over last shell, ch 4, sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 10 times; ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 3, turn. 2nd row: Shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop) 9 times; ch 4, shell over shell. Ch 3, turn. Continue in this manner, having one ch-3 loop less on each row until 1 loop remains at top of pineapple. Ch 3, turn. Next row: Make shell over shell, ch 4, sc in loop, ch 4, 2 dc in next shell, ch 1, sl st back in ch-2 of last shell, ch 1, 2 dc where last 2 dc were made. Break off. Attach thread to 1st shell of next pineapple and complete the point in same manner. Continue thus until all 11 points have been worked.
