Crochet pattern for a banana and banana peel pattern.
Make your own fun fruit with this very detailed crochet pattern - perfect for yarn bombing, children toys or making a bold centrepiece.
Carefully designed, this project is worked end to end (rather than in the round) to create a realistic look to the banana skin. One of my range of matching fruit and vegetable patterns. More details about this project can be found on my blog: Banana and Banana Peel Crochet Pattern.
Make an approximately life-sized banana using DK (light worsted weight, Category 3) yarn and a 3.5mm hook, or you can work a larger or smaller banana using heavier or lighter yarn and varying your hook accordingly!
The pattern includes detailed notes on yarn and stuffing choices.
This pattern is available in both UK and US crochet terminology in separate documents. Both versions will be available for you on purchase and you can choose whichever you prefer to use.
Important features of my crochet patterns: My crochet patterns include both a detailed 'tutorial-style' set of instructions with colour photos, and a succinct unillustrated pattern using standard crochet conventions - the best of both worlds!
All my patterns come with my full support. If you have any difficulties at all when working the pattern, please e-mail me and I will be happy to provide further explanations.

Little Conkers
Little Conkers exists to help you get the most from your time and pennies - whether you're making something for yourself or as a gift - as a way of spreading the joy of creativity.
I know that, for many people, creativity is often fitted into the slivers of time that you can find between all the other "must dos" in your life. But you know that making something yourself means it can be exactly what you need, look exactly how you want and can give you untold pleasure day after day.
My sewing and crochet patterns are specifically designed with the time-strapped and frugal in mind, requiring no superfluous equipment and including practical suggestions on how to up-cycle materials wherever possible.
I am a real person, and always love to hear from my customers all around the world. All my patterns come with my full e-mail support, so do feel free to ask any questions you may have. Enjoy your creating!
