Mudkip Gummy — Cheek Frills (Page 2)

Cheeks (make 2)
Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
Rnd 2: Inc in each st around (12). Fasten off.

Cheek spikes
Insert the hook at the red dot of the diagram and come out at the green dot, pull up a chain loop; then, working onto that loop:
*Ch 2, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st onto the base loop* — repeat 3 times. Fasten off.
This makes the three little points of Mudkip's star-shaped cheek. Attach the cheeks to the sides of the head, following the eye-placement sketch.

Notes

Second page of the Mudkip pattern: flat cheek discs plus a 3-point spike edge worked from a pulled-up loop. The small symbol chart marks the insertion (red) and exit (green) points; the oval sketch shows eye and cheek placement.

Frequently asked questions

How are the orange cheek spikes made?

Crochet a small disc (6 sc in MR, inc around), then pull a chain loop through the marked point and work (ch 2, sl st in 2nd ch, sl st onto the loop) three times to form the three points.

What does the bobble 'B' in the body do?

The bobbles on rounds 10 and 12 make the bumps where the head fin and leg nubs sit, giving the gummy silhouette.

Are the fins crocheted in the round?

No — the head fin and tail are worked flat in short rows with a turning chain each row, then sewn on.
