Leg (x2): double chain of 9 — leave a long tail, then sew the 4th chain from the end to the tail to connect.
(Because the tails come out at the fingertips/foot tips, use a new strand of yarn when attaching the arms and legs to the body.)

Notes

Flower, arms, legs and yellow-Pikmin ears (Korean pattern by @qlsxx_ei). Arms/legs are double-chain (slip-stitch) cords; use a fresh strand to attach limbs to the body.
