You may have a banana hanger, but let me ask you this: what happens when you’re down to just one banana? Poor little thing sitting all alone on the counter. 🙁
Make yourself a fruit hammock and give that lonely little banana a place to relax without getting bruised. 😉 For this pattern we are basically making a large-ish mesh-like rectangle and then adding the loops to each side so that it can hang under your cabinet using Command hooks.
If you need help with the Front Post Treble Crochet (fptc) and the Back Post Treble Crochet (bptc) you’ll want to head over and watch this video on my YouTube channel. Notice that in the video I’m using double crochet instead of triple. Once you get the concept down, continue the pattern below using front and back post treble crochet.
