How to Sew a Felt Pineapple
Supplies
- Free Felt Pineapple Pattern
- Colored felt fabrics (we used yellow, green, brown and pink)
- Matching Threads
- Hand Needle
- Fabric marking chalk or a pen
- Scissors (See our Guide to the Best Scissors for Cutting Felt)
- Polyfill, stuffing or scrap felt
Directions
Step 1
Download, print and cut out the free pineapple pattern.
Choose the felt colors for each template. These are the colors we selected:
- Pineapple bases (2): Yellow, though we also did a brown
- Leaves (2): Green
- Cheeks (2): Light Pink
- Flower: Dark Pink
- Middle of Flower: Orange
Trace the pattern pieces on the felt with a fabric marking chalk or a pen. Cut out the patterns, being sure to cut so that the markings aren’t showing on your finished pieces.

Step 2
On one of the pineapple base cutouts use a fabric marker to draw the eyes, mouth and the spots.
The eyes are upside down arches or “smiles.” The dots should be in a random pattern across the pineapple face.

Step 3
Thread a needle with a contrasting color of thread. We used red thread, however brown thread would also look good. Tie 2-3 knots at the end.
Bring the needle in from the back of the pattern piece so that the knot is hidden. Then stitch small x-shapes over each spot.
Once you have covered each dot with an x, bring the needle to the back of the pineapple and knot 2-3 times to secure, then cut off the excess thread.

Step 4
Now thread the needle with black thread. Knot the end and bring through from the back.
Stitch over the eyes and mouth with basic straight stitches. We added a few eyelashes on each eye.
Once finished, bring the needle to the back, tie 2-3 knots and then cut off the excess thread.

Step 5
Now thread the needle with pink thread. Knot the end and bring through from the back.
Place a circle cheek cutout underneath each eye to the side of the mouth. Stitch around the felt circle with basic straight stitches.
Once finished, bring the needle to the back, tie 2-3 knots and then cut off the excess thread.

Step 6
Take the 2 leaf cutouts and place the small one on the top of the big one.
![Felt Pineapple Step 6](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-6-1024x637.jpg)
Place the stacked leaves on the top of the plain pineapple cutout, slightly overlapping the top part of the pineapple base.
![Felt Pineapple Step 7](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-7-1024x612.jpg)
Place the stitched pineapple base on the top of the plain one, keeping the leaf patterns between both bases.
![Felt Pineapple Step 8](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-8-1024x614.jpg)
Step 7
Now place the flower center on top of the flower cutout, then place the flower near the overlapped parts of the leaf and base patterns.
![Felt Pineapple Step 9](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-9-1024x650.jpg)
Secure the middle of the flower with a simple cross stitch using a coordinating thread, or you can use a drop of glue.
![Felt Pineapple Step 10](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-10.jpg)
Thread the needle with yellow thread, tying 2-3 knots at the bottom.
Step 8
Bring the needle up from the back, keeping the knot in the back of the pineapple. Use a simple stitch to start sewing around the base of the pineapple, stitching through all of the layers to secure.
![Felt Pineapple Step 11](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-11-1024x672.jpg)
Keep a small opening for stuffing the felt pineapple.
![Felt Pineapple Step 12](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-12.jpg)
Step 9
Add a small amount of Polyfill, cotton or scrap felt through the small opening.
![Felt Pineapple Step 13](https://easythingstosew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Felt-Pineapple-Steps-13-1024x674.jpg)
Step 10
Once stuffed, close the opening by continuing to stitch it closed in the same method as before.
Bring the needle to the back of the pineapple and tie 2-3 knots to secure. Then cut off the extra thread.
