Banana C2C Crochet Square

It’s Banana time! The Banana is the 7th fruit in our fruit C2C series!

This graph is 11 x 12 pixel squares and has a finished size of about 7.5 x 8 inches.

I’ve been posting a series of fruit themed corner-to-corner crochet squares! These C2C pieces are small and doable. They can be started and finished in a day or two. Not all the fruits will fit in the same pixel graph. They are close in size, but not exactly the same.

I am using Red Heart Super Saver Yarn for the fruit squares and the colors I have chosen will be repeating throughout all of them. I will have more updates on yarn (BIG announcement on Tuesday!)

If you are new to the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Crochet technique, let me explain a little bit about it. You can take a pixel graph and turn it into a crocheted piece. By starting in one corner of the graph (the lower right hand is most common place to start), you will crochet crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC (half double crochet) stitches for the C2C instead of DC (double crochet).

I’ve had a lot of questions about what the backside of a corner-to-corner crochet project looks like. It’s a mirror image of the front! Pictures of the front and back below.
