Work in pattern as established, working stem for 4th rnd of pineapples exactly as stem for 3rd rnd of pineapples until 3rd rnd of stem is completed.

Next rnd: Work across pineapple, shell over shell, (ch 7, shell over shell) twice; and continue in pattern around.

Following rnd: Work across pineapple, shell over shell, ch 9, in sp of next shell make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; ch 9, shell over shell and continue in pattern around.

Next rnd: Work 21 tr for base of each pineapple of 4th rnd of pineapples.

Continue in pattern as before until 4th rnd of stem of next (5th) rnd of pineapples is completed.

Next rnd: Same as previous rnd but working ch 9 on each side of stem shell.

Following rnd: Sl st to sp, ch 4, tr in same sp, ch 7, 2 tr in same sp, * ch 7, shell over shell, work across pineapple, shell over shell, in sp of next shell work 2 tr, ch 7 and 2 tr. Repeat from * around. Join.

Next rnd: Sl st to sp, ch 5, 23 d tr in same sp, ch 5, shell over shell and continue in pattern around, making 24 d tr for base of each pineapple of 5th rnd of pineapples. Join.

Following rnd: Ch 6, make d tr in each d tr with ch 1 between d tr's, ch 5 and continue in pattern around. Join to 5th st of ch-6.

Continue in pattern, working 6th rnd of pineapples exactly the same as 5th rnd of pineapples until 2nd rnd of d tr's at base of 6th rnd of pineapples is completed.

Now continue to work ch-4 loops as before on 5th pineapple but work ch-5 loops on 6th pineapple until 5th pineapple is completed (there are 14 loops on each pineapple of 6th rnd).

To make points: sl st to sp of next shell and work in rows over each pineapple separately as follows: 1st row: Ch 3 and complete shell as before, work across pineapple, shell over shell, ch 5, turn.

2nd row: Shell over shell, ch 5, work across pineapple, shell over shell, ch 5, turn.

Repeat the 2nd row until 1 loop remains on pineapple. Ch 5, turn.

Next row: 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. Fasten off.

Attach thread to sp of shell on next pineapple; complete point in same manner. Continue thus until all points have been completed.

Work 2 rnds all around tablecloth as follows: 1st rnd: Attach thread to tip of one point where shells were joined, ch 3, at base of ch-3 make dc, ch 2 and 2 dc. * (Ch 3, shell in next turning ch between 2 rows) 7 times; ch 2, then holding back on hook the last loop of each dc, work dc in sp of next shell (on last complete rnd of tablecloth) and dc in sp of next shell (where thread was attached to work next point); thread over and draw through all loops on hook, (ch 3, shell in turning ch between 2 rows) 7 times; ch 3, shell at tip of next point where shells were joined. Repeat from * around. Join last ch-3 to top of starting ch.

2nd rnd: Sl st in next dc and in next sp, ch 8, sc in 5th ch from hook (p made). Dc in same place as sl st, * ch 3, sc under next ch-3, ch 3, in next shell make dc, p and dc. Repeat from * 6 more times; ch 3, sc in tip of joined dc's, ch 3, in next shell make dc, p and dc. Ch 3, sc under next ch-3. Continue thus around. Fasten off.
