I had so much fun with the Watermelon Nesting Bowls, that I absolutely had to do this again, so here are pineapple nesting bowls
I am a big fan of traditional toys. The stacking, nesting, building block type toys stimulate so much creativity! And I love putting a new spin on them! I believe so many of those simple stacking and sorting toys from my own childhood, are incredibly beneficial to brain development in our own little ones.

These pineapple nesting bowls are fun for a few reasons. Other than the obvious fun of stacking them, the different stitches and techniques provide different textures for little fingers. Also, due to the nature of this pattern, making a stuffed pineapple for the top wasn’t practical, as the stuffing would come through, so the top bowl is actually a bag with a drawstring to cinch closed around the leaves! I don’t know about yours, but my little ones have always loved bags!

Notes: Bowls are worked from largest to smallest. To assure proper fit, occasionally insert the next size into the previous one, as the fits may vary, depending on yarn used. Bowls are worked in continuous rnds without joining for the bottoms. Whenever you do need to join after that, it is made clear in the pattern. When joining, chs never count toward the final st count. The first st is always worked in the same st as the joining st. Color changes are made by pulling the next color through to complete the previous st. This is pictured below.
