In The Sea Glass Journal, the pineapple appears again and again — from Tess’s farmer’s market basket to Evelyn’s journaled memories of grilled fruit, to the golden clafoutis Tess bakes as she dares to create her own traditions. Sweet, spiky, and full of symbolism, the pineapple becomes a reminder of hospitality, courage, and renewal.

This design celebrates that spirit: a versatile motif worked in the round as a drawstring pouch or in rows as a washcloth, placemat, table runner or scarf. Make one in coastal blues for an elegant keepsake, or in sunny yellows and greens for a playful nod to the fruit itself. Whether gifted, displayed, or simply used at home, this little pineapple carries the same promise Tess discovers in her story — welcome, sweetness, and the courage to begin again.
