Additional Notes
This pattern has a seamless construction. Begin with the top of the body section (A) and the smaller hook; change to the larger hook at row 19. Pick up at the body top for the yoke (B), leaving the arm sections open. Finally, add edging to armholes, front opening, and neck.

On row 12 of Pattern A at the top of the pineapple, there is a single dc decrease stitch that can be mistaken for a pair of dc stitches.
