Banana Scarf Crochet Pattern
Friends, I have to start by pointing out how incredibly cold it got in Toronto. Like, -20C eyelashes are frozen together and my face hurts cold. On top of the frigid quality in the air, it's also a little gloomy. Naturally this weather makes me want to snuggle into something warm which is where this post is headed. When you read the words Banana Scarf Crochet Pattern you might think the scarf is yellow like a banana but you might also think, the scarf is shaped like a banana. And in today's post, you'd be right on both counts because I have created a bright yellow scarf shaped like a banana! Obviously this is both to keep me warm and to provide me with a burst of happy banana yellow color.

Banana Scarf Crochet Pattern
Materials
-worsted weight yarn, approx 380 metres/200 grams. I used Patons Decor wool/acrylic blend in Mimosa
-small amount of brown worsted weight yarn.
-5.50 mm crochet hook.
Abbreviations (US)
ch - chain
sl st - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
inc - increase (2 sts in same st)
dec - decrease (dc 2 tog)
sk - skip
Notes
Pattern is worked in rounds with slip stitch to join. I found it helpful to place safety pins or stitch markers in my middle increase/decrease stitches to remind me where to increase/decrease. Don't worry too much about the exact number of stitches as this scarf is easily adjustable - just remember to make increases on both ends, increases/decrease in the middle to get a banana shape. As always, if you notice any mistakes I would love to know!
