Trying to be healthy with more fruit and veg? Well, look no further and grab a piece of our 5-a-day collection, with Barry the banana. He's sweet, mellow, and bright yellow! He's a perfect companion to make for yourself, or to give away to a loved one.

So, I hear you ask - what do you need to get started and make your own Amigurumi Banana? It couldn't be easier! All of our situation kits come with everything required, including chenille yarn, stuffing, safety eyes, a crochet hook and collectable stitch marker, plus a darning needle and a label to finish up. We've even provided a handy tote bag to carry Barry on-the-go. (He loves a smoothie shop, if you want to treat him.)

We've given plenty of practice yarn so you can test out your stitches before you start, and if you have any leftovers, why not make some accessories for your new friend? The pattern for Barry can be found by scanning the postcard included in your kit; simply type in the password and away you go! If you find yourself in need of a bit more support, the link provided will also take you to our handy stitch library, for more explanation, or simply to refresh your memory (for left and right-handers too).

The Situation Kit status of Barry is "Still figuring it out" - this means he is suitable for an advanced beginner crocheter and upwards, with some colour changes and fiddly bits to finish.
