Worked from the bottom up in continuous rounds, sporadic yet “dill”-iberate puff stitches add texture to these kosher cuties. The “bread and butter” of the design is subtle shaping around the middle, while “sweet” accessories made separately adorn this group of gherkins.

Pickle, Bucket Hat, and Baseball Cap pieces are worked in continuous rounds. Do not join at the end of rounds. Use a removable stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the round, and move the marker up with each subsequent round.
