This emotional support pickle crochet pattern makes a free amigurumi pickle with big shiny eyes and a happy grin, hugging a pink heart. The pickle plushie is a soft olive-green capsule dotted with darker green bumps, with rosy cheeks and a little pink tongue peeking out of its smile. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and stands about 8.5 cm (3.3 in) tall, with 12 mm safety eyes, a flat crochet heart, two tiny arms and sixteen bumps sewn on. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every bump goes.
