Row 3: (sc 2, 2sc) around

Row 10-17: sc around
for peel, sc for about 6-8 stitches, turn around and do again, slowly decrease amount of stitches used per row.
do that for 3-4 peels

The peels should look like this, each 'x' represents one stitch.

     xx
    xxx
   xxxxx
   xxxxx
  xxxxxx
xxxxxx
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx

After you are done with the parts, stuff the bottom of the peel a little bit then place the inside of the banana in it, sew together.
