Materials: ( I used )

• 3.25 mm crochet hook
• Sport weight yarn: emerald green ( 300 gr for the sample – size L/ 100 gr or 256 yds per skein )
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so choose your best technique 

Special stitch used:

2dc-V stitch: ( 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc ) into same stitch or space

This crochet pineapple tunic pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )

Skill level: Intermediate

Gauge: 10 double crochet stitches x 4 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
