A Pineapple Knot Variation.

A 42 part x48 bight 6 Pass, Type 3 Pineapple Knot with a varied interweave .

This Pineapple knot variant (pictured above) is built up from a Standard 27 part x 24 bight 3 Pass, Type 3

Pineapple Knot. This being made with three interwoven 9 part x 8 bight Casa Knots, all in one dark

colour; Black gives the best contrast with this knot.

For instructions and more information on this and other Pineapple Knot Types, a copy of Introduction to

Turks-Head Knots by Tom Hall will be found invaluable.

The Interweave is made with three 5part x 8 bight Casa Knots, all in one light colour; White gives the

best contrast against the Black strands.

Here is the Under and Over sequence for the 4th

, 5th

& 6th

passes of this knot.Please note; the first and last under in each pass marked like UU3*U& UU4*Uhave the strands going under thesame parts to finish the pass. The X numbers X6, X8 and X9; are a strand going under several crossing

parts at the top and bottom of each Half Cycle.

Half Cycleswill be numbered in Red to help identify the correct pictures to go with the Under / Over

sequence. Note: not all Half Cycleshave pictures and I hope the pictures I have included for referencewill give a good indication of what is going on.

This knot Takes a bit of dressing and does not lay quite as nice as a standard Herringbone weave

Pineapple Knot.

Please let me know if you find any mistakes in my Under / Over sequences.

I hope you enjoy making this one as much as I have enjoyed working out the interweave.

During the process of making this document I have discovered other variant patterns for the

Pineapple Knot, I will share them as I get time.

Take care,
