Little Lulu

I knitted a little banana today. I made my own pattern while I was knitting and it is so so easy to make! You can make one in about 2 hours! You just need yellow and white worsted weight yarn and size 8 dpns. Here is the pattern:

inside of the banana:
with the white yarn:
CO 6 sts. and divide them among needles
kfb all - 12
k
k1, kfb around - 18
knit for 24 rows and then BO all sts.

peel:
with the yellow yarn:
CO 4 divide onto your dpns.
KFB all - 8
k
k1, kfb around - 12
k
k1, kfb around - 18
k
k2, kfb around - 24
knit for 20 rows
leave stitches on one needle and put other sts on two different stitch holders (8 on each)
working in st. st. work for 8 rows
on 9th row k2tog, k2 all
p
k2tog, k2, k2tog
p
k2tog twice
purl the last two sts. together and pull, make a good knot

now pick up the sts. on one of the holders and do this again, and then when you finish, pick up the remaining sts and repeat

stuff your two pieces, only stuff the peel a little, put the inside into the peel to see how much you want it to stick out. pin the inside of the banana to the peel and sew all the way around. with the yellow yarn

Now you have a little banana!

enjoy!
