The traditional colours for Pikmin are red, yellow, and blue. However, you can get creative and use any colour you like to create your own character.
Can I make a Pikmin character bigger or smaller?
Yes, you can change the size of your Pikmin. By using thicker yarn and a larger hook, you will create a bigger Pikmin. Using thinner yarn and a smaller hook will result in a smaller Pikmin. However, not using the recommended supplies can change the look of the finished piece.
