Design Inspiration
This banana is the seventh pattern for the Pregnancy Progress Project!
Measuring about 6.5″, it’s the same size as a baby at 20 weeks of pregnancy! Not only is this great for tracking your pregnancy, but these would make adorable kids or pet toys! I hope you enjoy this tutorial, now let’s get making!

What You’ll Need
I used medium 4 weight yarn for my amigurumi banana!
You’ll need approximately 50 yards of yellow yarn for the peel of the banana. Try using WeCrochet Brava in Canary!
For the inside of the banana you’ll need about 40 yards of cream yarn. Try using WeCrochet Brava in Cream!
Other yarn I think would work great are Red Heart Super Saver, Big Twist Value, and Loops and Threads Soft Classic.
Other supplies needs for this amigurumi Banana are:
Polyester Fiber Fill to stuff the banana.
Safety eyes (optional). I used 10mm safety eyes, but feel free to use smaller or larger ones. You can also embroidery eyes on using black thread if you prefer.
Black Crochet Thread (optional) if you’d like to embroider a smile on your banana.
