Pineapple (Lace)
A pullover with a stitch pattern reminiscent of a pineapple at the chest.
After working the center panels for the front and back, work the left and right yokes toward the sleeves, then work the body downward from the top.
The sleeves are worked in the round by picking up and knitting stitches from the body.
This is a version of Pineapple with the hem changed to lace and the stitch counts adjusted.
