Crochet Fruit Dish Part 1: Banana

Hello friends, After making all vegetables I made this FRUIT DISH. Fruits which are the sourse of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber for our body. They also provide high range of health boosting antioxidants. So my fruit dish becomes a best home decor for placing on our dinning table. You can also use them to gift kids, so that they will get introduced to variety of fruits.

I am going to give patterns of all ten fruits shown in that fruit dish in a series. Some patterns are inspired by some other designers also but the necessary changes are made according to yarn and hook. The first one is Banana. See fig 2. In India it is called "Poor people fruit" because it is chipper compaired to other fruits moreover it has number of special qualities as controlling blood suger level, improving digestive system, helps weight loss, support heart health and rich in powerful antioxidants.
