Step 2: Create the Pineapple Body

1. Start with the Yellow Bands

   • Take your first yellow band and stretch it into a figure-eight shape.
   • Twist it once to secure the shape.

2. Add More Yellow Bands

   • Continue adding yellow bands in a similar manner. You will need to create a total of 19 figure-eight shapes.
   • Stack the bands on top of each other to form the body of the pineapple.

3. Secure the Pineapple

Step 3: Make the Leaves

1. Prepare the Green Bands

   • Take 10 green loom bands and create a similar figure-eight shape for the leaves.
   • Twist each band once to secure them.

2. Form the Leaf Shape

   • Use the crochet hook to pull the top band through the bottom bands to secure the leaves.

Step 4: Attach the Leaves to the Pineapple

1. Combine the Two Parts

   • Position the leaves on top of the pineapple charm.
