This may be the easiest pattern you’ll ever create. If you follow my patterns you will notice a trend; I aim for high impact, yet simple, designs. I prefer to achieve visual interest with textures, colors, shapes, and simple stitches rather than complicated designs. I want everyone to be able to make my patterns, from the basic of beginners to the more advanced crafters.

That is one reason I LOVE banana fiber yarn. The texture is amazing and the visual interest is superb. There are many things I love about this yarn. It is a super soft yet durable yarn, that comes from the outer layers of the banana fiber tree. These fibers are harvested, then soaked in water to quicken the natural dissolving of the chlorophyll structures, leaving just the cellulose fibers. These fibers are then extruded into pulp and spun into yarn. Because of this banana fiber is a self renewable fiber, which is the other reason I love it so.
