Pineapple Soap Cozy (or Small Gift Bag) – Free Crochet Pattern

July 17, 2021

This is a free crochet pattern for how-to crochet my Pineapple Soap Cozy (or Small Gift Bag). Perfect to use with a homemade soap, as a gift bag for tropical themed earrings or use as favor bags for a Luau party!

This post contains affiliate links for LoveCrafts and WeCrochet. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

Find the free crochet pattern instructions below, or purchase a printer-friendly, ad-free PDF on Ravelry by clicking here.

After sharing my Carrot Soap Cozy (or Small Gift Bag), I have been wanting to make one that looked like a pineapple complete with the leaves.

I thought the criss crossed stitch pattern was appropriate for the pattern/texture of an actual pineapple, and the leaves are a modified version of my Super Easy Carrot Applique.

This little bag is excellent for using as a soap cozy (gift a homemade soap with it!), candy/favor pouch (for a tropical party!) or as a gift bag (gift with some Summer themed earrings – like these Pineapple Earrings from A Winding Road Crochet!).

Ad-Free, Printer-Friendly PDF:

If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through either my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop, Ravelry or LoveCrafts Shop for a small fee. This fee is to compensate for the views lost when you no longer need to return to the blog to for the information, as you will have your own copy. Plus! It helps fund supplies for new projects to share with you!

Materials:

  • 70 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Yellow and Sage Green
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives to Lily Sugar n Cream: Bernat’s Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, WeCrochet Dishie

Other Recommended Yarns (with I9/5.5mm Hook): Red Heart’s Super Saver, Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value

Weaving in ends of a tough yarn, like cotton yarn, can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to [carefully] help pull the tapestry needle through the work.

Time Spent:

This cozy took me about an hour.

Measurements:

4.25″ Wide by 5.75″ Tall to SC Edge of Leaf Round

Gauge:

16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4″

Abbreviations (US Terms):

  • HDC – Half Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • mod-fptr2tog – Modified Front Post Treble/Triple Crochet Two Together
  • FDC – Foundation Double Crochet
  • FHDC – Foundation Half Double Crochet
  • FSC Foundation Single Crochet

Special Stitches:

Mod-fptr2tog: yarn over 2x (3 loops on hook), insert hook around the closest post, yarn over and pull through, (yarn over and pull through 2 loops) 2x (2 loops on hook, yarn over 2x, skip the next 3 stitches, insert hook around the next post, yarn over and pull through (5 loops on hook), (yarn over and pull through 2 loops) 2x, yarn over and pull through remaining 3 loops.

Working this modified stitch creates an upside down “V”, and when you work rounds following the first modified round, you will be working into the top peak of that upside down “V”.

FDC: Yarn over, insert hook into the first chain, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through first loop (to create foundation chain), (yarn over and pull through two loops on hook) 2x. First chain and DC created. Looking at the stitch in your hand, you should see the top of the DC to the right, and parallel on the left side, it should look like the opposite side of the beginning foundation chain. You will be working in these stitches on the left. To create the next stitch and each stitch after, yarn over, insert hook under both loops of the foundation chain (left side) yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through first loop, (yarn over and pull through 2 loops) 2x.

FHDC: In this pattern, you are working into the stitches on the left that look like the opposite side of the beginning foundation chain following a FDC… To create the FHDC, yarn over, insert hook under both loops of the foundation chain (left side), yarn over and pull through first loop, yarn over and pull through remaining 3 loops.

FSC: In this pattern, you are working into the stitches on the left that look like the opposite side of the beginning foundation chain following a FHDC… To create the SDC, insert hook under both loops of the foundation chain (left side) yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through first loop, yarn over and pull through the remaining 2 loops.

Pattern Notes:

The stitch multiple for this design in the round is 4 – if you need a smaller or bigger size, I recommend going down or up a hook size.

Beginning chain 1 does not count as a stitch but beginning chain 2 does.

Join to the 1st stitch of each round, including the beginning chain 2.

Bag Pattern:

In Yellow, chain 17. 2 HDC into the 2nd chain, and the next 13, 3 HDC into the last chain, HDC into the next 13 along the opposite side of the foundation chain, HDC into the 1st stitch. Join. (32 HDC)

R2: Chain 2. DC into the 2nd HDC, and each HDC around. Join. (32 DC)

R3: Chain 1. SC into the 1st DC, mod-fptr2tog, (SC into the next 3 DC, mod-fptr2tog) 7x, SC into the last 2 DC. Join.

R4: Chain 2. DC into the 2nd stitch, and each stitch around. Join. (32 DC)

R5: Chain 1. SC into the 1st 3 DC, mod-fptr2tog around the 1st 2 posts of Round 3, skip 1 DC on the current round, (SC into the next 3 DC, mod-fptr2tog, skip 1 DC) 7x. Join.

R6: Chain 2. DC into the 2nd stitch, and each stitch around. Join. (32 DC)

R7: Chain 1. SC into the 1st DC, mod-fptr2tog around the 1st 2 posts of Round 5, skip 1 DC on the current round, (SC into the next 3 DC, mod-fptr2tog, skip 1 DC) 7x, SC into the last 2 DC. Join.

R8 – 11: Repeat Rounds 4 – 7, then switch to Green, and fasten off Yellow.

R12: In Green, chain 1. SC into the 1st stitch, and each stitch around. (32 SC)

R13: Chain 3 (counts as a DC + chain 1). Skip the 2nd SC, (DC into the next SC, chain 1, skip the next SC) 15x. Join. (16 DC)

R14 – 15: Chain 1. SC into the 1st stitch, and each stitch around. Join. (32 SC)

R16, Leaves: [Chain 3, FDC 6 with the 1st half worked into the 1st stitch of Round 15 (not the 1st chain of the beginning chain 3), FHDC, FSC, chain 1, now working into the opposite side of the foundation created: SC into the next SC, HDC into the next HDC, DC into each of the next 6 DC, chain 1, slip stitch into the same stitch as the base chain 3, SC into the next 3 SC of Round 15] 8x. 

Fasten Off, and Weave in End/s.

    Hi Alexandra,

    Your pattern is so darling! My middle daughter is always running out of tp and I’d love to make a cover for her as a Christmas gift. How could I adjust it accordingly?

      That’s a fun idea! The stitch multiple is 4 for the diamond stitch pattern. I am not sure if it would be better to work it top down like a beanie, and then add the leaves, or bottom up, and cinch at the top like this bag is. I think bottom up would be the easiest because it could be made basically the same as this soap cozy. In either case, the bottom would be open to stick the roll into. I use Charmin rolls, which are quite a bit larger than the average, what is the size of your roll? I can work on a pattern and video. I’ll explain the two ways I think I’d do it below, but I’m leaning towards bottom up because of the way the top is done.

      For bottom up, I would probably work a foundation half double crochet to fit and get the stitch multiple, and then work in pattern starting at Round 3 upwards a little taller than I needed to give space for the cinching, and by that I mean enough space to accommodate the diameter, and then continue in pattern from Round 12 to the end.

      For top down, I would probably start with a ring of 12, and increase as if making a beanie until I get the diameter needed. Working in 100% acrylic yarn, like Red Heart Super Saver, I would probably work it smaller so it stretched to fit, and working in 100% cotton, I might increase a bit more because of the stretch. Then I would start the instructions in Round 3, and continue in pattern repeating as necessary to cover the roll. I’m thinking the first couple rounds in green, and the rest in yellow so when you go to add the top it blends a little better. For the top though, I don’t know. I’m not sure if I would change to crocodile stitch in the round for it?

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
