Crochet a Pineapple hot pad

Pineapple hot pad

SoI found many  patterns in pinterest and none of them was available to follow, some cute ones and some average, I also found one that was using the bobble stitch which looked very pretty, but for now I can't take another long project, so this was feasible within a short period of time comparing to other projects.

I have written this pattern for you from scratch as I had to repeat the project few times because I couldn't manage to have the pineapple shape, and at last after repeating it 4 times I managed to finish it and write the correct pattern.

So for this project I have used a cotton yarn with 3.75 MM hook

PDF pattern:

Row 1 : 2dc in the 3rd ch from the hook, sk 2, 3dc in the next ch, sk 2, 3dc in the next ch, repeat till end of the row.
