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.  🙁

Lonely Banana? Make a Crocheted Fruit Hammock

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.

Fruit Hammock Crochet Pattern

Materials:

Cotton yarn
Hook to match (on label)
Command hooks to hang hammock

Pattern:

Row 1: Ch-31, sc in second ch from hook and in each across, turn (30)
Row 2: Ch-6, tr in 3rd st, *ch-3, tr in 3rd st* to end, tr in last st, turn (30)
Row 3: Ch-6, fptc (see video for concept) around 1st tr from previous row *ch-3, fptc around next* to end, tr in the 3rd ch from the ch-6 from the previous row, turn (30)
Row 4: Ch-6, bptc around 1st fptc from pevious row *ch-3, bptc around next* to end, tr in the 3rd ch from the ch-6 from the previous row, turn (30)

REPEAT Rows 3 and 4 until you reach desired length (mine is about 15″ long)
Next row: ch-1, sc in each st across, turn (30)
Next row: ch-1, sc2tog all the way across, turn (15)
Next row: ch-1, sc2tog all the way across, sc in last, turn (8)
Next row: ch-1, sc in each st across (8)
Next row: ch-10 and sl st to opposite corner, creating a loop to hang

Attach yarn to the other end’s hammock corner and repeat:

Ch-1, sc2tog all the way across, turn (15)
Next row: ch-1, sc2tog all the way across, sc in last, turn (8)
Next row: ch-1, sc in each st across (8)
Next row: ch-10 and sl st to opposite corner, creating a loop to hang

Weave in your ends and voila! You are finished. 😀

Now that you have a fruit hammock, your bananas won’t get lonely or bruised! I hope you love yours, and don’t forget to add this to your Ravelry!

    Omg! I was also getting more than 30. I thought I was doing something wrong too. Changing from a ch3 to a ch2 will give you 30. I have been working on this for 2 days and I was getting frustrated. I should have looked at the comments. Hehe! Easy to work on after that. Looks so cute. I love it!

    Thanks for the pattern. Making one now . The 2nd row says" treble into 3 stitch and ch 3 to the end (30)" . When I do that my count is more then 30. If I count the treble stitch and then ch 3 to end, I come up with (40). If I ch2 vs ch3, then row count comes out to be (30).
