Frequently asked questions
Do all four Pikmin use the same body?
Yes — the universal body covers Rnds 1-48 including the legs and green stem. Only the face and head parts change per colour.
What is different about each colour?
Red gets a pointed nose, white gets the round eye spots applied back-to-front, yellow gets two ears, and blue uses the plain eye whites.
How are the petals worked?
Rnd 5 makes five petals of ch 4, two tr2tog clusters and ch 4, worked so the yellow flower centre and the green stem base are joined together as you go.
What size eyes?
The maker uses 6mm beads for the eyes.
