Are you intimidated by the crochet pineapple stitch? Fear not! Marly to the rescue! The pineapple stitch is a quintessential crochet stitch, as is the granny square. But the crochet pineapple stitch shawl can seem a bit intimidating if you've never done it before. There's nothing to worry about – it's just simple stitches arranged in a complex-looking way. I'll explain more in a little bit…
Now, I have to say, one of the most fun parts of making the videos for Red Heart is being able to look through their MANY FREE PATTERNS. I get to choose the ones I like best (and those I know you'd love to learn to crochet too.) Yet, the hard part is choosing only a few designs instead of the whole library!

The Sidewalk Shawl by Kimberley McAlindin is one of those fantastic pieces that will stop you in your tracks and make you say, “WHOA! I gotta make that!” There's no wonder that it's one of the top patterns at RedHeart.com. Check it out right here – STUNNING!
