Materials 

• Yarn (DK, Light 3), cotton or acrylic:
  • Banana Yellow: approximately 12 g (28–32 m)
  • Cream: approximately 2 g (5–7 m)
  • Brown (tip): approximately 1 g (2–3 m)
• Hook: 2.5 mm (or smaller if you see gaps)
• Safety eyes: 6 mm (optional; you can embroider eyes instead)
• Embroidery thread: black (smile) and pink (blush)
• Fiberfill/polyfill stuffing: approximately 8 g
• Hardware: 25 mm split ring with short chain or 12–15 mm lobster clasp
• Tapestry needle (blunt), stitch marker, scissors, and optional fabric glue

Sizing and Gauge
For best results, aim for a dense fabric with no stuffing visible. Typically, a 2.5 mm hook with DK yarn yields about 5.5–6 sc per 2.5 cm (1 in). Consequently, if you see gaps, simply size down your hook. Finished size is approximately 9–10 cm (3.5–4 in) long and 3–3.5 cm (1.25–1.4 in) wide at the chubbiest point. Additionally, for a slightly longer banana, you can add one or two straight rounds in the center.

Level of Difficulty
Beginner. Specifically, you should know or be ready to learn: magic ring (or chain-2 start), single crochet (sc), increase (inc), invisible decrease (inv dec), color change in the round, and working in a continuous spiral.

Special Features

• First, the body is worked in one piece with minimal sewing.
• Second, strategic decreases create a natural curve, no short rows necessary.
• Third, the project is scrap-friendly and quick.
• Finally, you can personalize the face or keep it minimal for a clean look.

Abbreviations (US Terms)
MR = magic ring; sc = single crochet; inc = increase; dec/inv dec = invisible decrease; st(s) = stitch(es); Rnd = round. Furthermore, work in a continuous spiral and use a stitch marker to track your first stitch.

Step-by-Step: Banana Body (With Making Times)

1. Tip—Brown Top (Making Time: 3–4 minutes)

• To begin, with brown yarn, MR, 6 sc into the ring. (6)
• Next, Rnd 2: sc in each st around. (6)
• Then, switch to yellow on the final pull-through of the last stitch of Rnd 2 for a clean color change.
  Because you’re changing color on the last pull-through, the transition looks crisp and professional.

2. Increase to Banana Girth (Making Time: 8–10 minutes)

• Rnd 3 (yellow): [inc] x6. (12)
• Rnd 4: [sc, inc] x6. (18)
• Rnd 5: [2 sc, inc] x6. (24)
  As a result, these gentle increases create a smooth, rounded body that won’t pucker.

3. Straight Rounds for Chubby Center (Making Time: 8–10 minutes)

• Rnds 6–9: sc in each st around. (24 for 4 rounds)
  Meanwhile, lightly stuff as you go just enough to hold shape without bulging. Additionally, if you want a longer banana, add one or two extra straight rounds here.

4. Start the Curve (Making Time: 8–10 minutes)

• Rnd 10: sc in next 12, [dec] x3, sc in remaining 6. (21)
• Rnd 11: sc in each st around. (21)
  By placing the decreases on one side, you encourage the banana to curve naturally. Consequently, keep subsequent decreases aligned on that same side to maintain the arc.

5. Smooth Taper (Making Time: 8–10 minutes)

• Rnd 12: sc in next 10, [dec] x3, sc in remaining 5. (18)
• Rnd 13: sc in each st around. (18)
• Rnd 14: [sc, dec] x6. (12)
  At this point, add a little more stuffing, focusing on even distribution. However, avoid over-stuffing because it can distort the curve.

6. Creamy End and Close (Making Time: 6–8 minutes)

• Switch to cream on the last pull-through of Rnd 14.
• Rnd 15 (cream): [dec] x6. (6)
• Finally, cut the yarn and leave a long tail. Then thread the tail through the front loops of the remaining 6 sts, pull to close, and weave in firmly.
  Optionally, pinch the end slightly before closing to form a small banana nub.

7. Add the Face (Optional) (Making Time: 4–6 minutes)

• Place 6 mm safety eyes between Rnds 7–8, about 4–5 sts apart on the “front.”
• Next, embroider a small smile one round below the eyes; for blush, stitch tiny pink dashes or add felt dots.
  Importantly, if gifting to a child under 3, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes.

8. Attach the Keyring (Making Time: 2–3 minutes)

• First, with a tapestry needle and a 10–12 cm strand of yellow yarn, stitch a small loop at the top (brown side).
• Then, slide your 25 mm split ring or lobster clasp through the loop.
• Lastly, secure with several reinforcement passes and, if desired, add a dab of fabric glue to lock the knot.
  Altogether, your total making time is approximately 45–60 minutes.

Common Mistakes and Easy Fixes

• Gaps between stitches: If stuffing peeks through, then size down your hook or tighten your tension. Alternatively, try DK cotton for a denser fabric.
• Lumpy stuffing: Instead of large clumps, add small tufts gradually and shape as you go. Consequently, the curve stays smooth.
• Lost stitch count: Because rounds are in a spiral, always mark the first stitch and count at the end of each round.
• Messy color changes: For a crisp transition, always change color on the last pull-through of the previous stitch.
• Flat or overly curvy shape: If it looks flat, add a center round; if it curves too much, reduce consecutive decreases on the same side.

Variations You’ll Love

• Chocolate-Dipped Banana: For a playful twist, switch to dark brown for the last two rounds at the bottom, then add a sprinkle of “confetti” with surface embroidery.
• Banana Bunch: Alternatively, make three micro bananas using a 2.25 mm hook and finer yarn; afterward, tie them together at the stems.
• Speckled and Ripe: Additionally, add brown freckles with duplicate stitch to suggest ripening.
• Pastel Cream Dream: For a softer vibe, use cream for the body and pale yellow for the ends.
• Bigger Charm: Moreover, switch to worsted (Medium 4) yarn with a 3.25 mm hook and add one extra straight round for a chunkier charm.

Tutor Suggestions (Great for Classes and Workshops)

• Prep kits: First, pre-cut yarn lengths include 6 mm eyes and hardware; consequently, setup time shrinks.
• Demonstrate key skills: Next, show the magic ring, invisible decrease, and clean color changes. As an alternative, teach the chain-2 start for those who struggle with MR.
• Use high-contrast demo yarn: Additionally, demonstrate with contrasting colors so stitches are easy to see, then let students switch to project colors.
• Timeboxing:
  • Tip + increase rounds: 15–18 minutes
  • Straight rounds + curve: 20 minutes
  • Finishing + face + hardware: 10–15 minutes
• Encourage counting habits: Finally, have learners place a stitch marker and verify stitch counts at the end of every round.

Finishing Tips and Polishing

• Invisible close: For a neat finish, cinch the last 6 sts through front loops only, and then weave in securely.
• Shape with steam: Lightly steam and gently nudge the curve into place; afterward, allow it to dry completely before attaching hardware.
• Lock knots: Because keychains get tugged, add a tiny dab of fabric glue to secure interior knots.
• Care: For longevity, spot clean with mild soap and cold water; then reshape while damp and air-dry flat.

Why This Pattern Is Perfect for Beginners
Above all, this pattern is fast, clear, and confidence-building. Because it relies on basic stitches, single crochet, increases, and decreases, you’ll progress quickly. Furthermore, the forgiving shape means that even if the curve is not exact, the banana still looks adorable. Consequently, it’s an ideal stash-buster, gift, or craft-fair favorite.
