Now you will start to add the bumps to your pickle with double crochets. Use your finger to pop them out. You can use triple/treble crochets instead of the double crochets if you want more prominent bumps.

- R4: 2 sc, dc, 9 sc (12)
- R5: 9 sc, dc, 2 sc (12)
- R6: dc, 11 sc (12)
Insert eyes between rows 4 and 5, with 2 stitches between. I position one eye so it sits diagonally down from the first dc you made in row 3. See photo below for reference.
Begin stuffing and continue to stuff as you go.
