BANANA STEM MOISTURE HOLDER

I heard on the radio that someone giving a tip to take a wet hand towel and wrap around the stem of banana with a rubber band to help them from turning brown as fast. I thought I could come up with a crocheted version and sell them. Here is the pattern I came up with. They can be made in any color. I used a country blue because it was a color that I use very little of.

MATERIALS:
Worsted Weight Yarn: Any color
B crochet hook
Yarn Needle
Elastic cord
