Boris the Pufferfish by Yarnwawa

Boris the pufferfish is a highly sensitive boy. He puffs out his body whenever he wants to keep his distance. Although he has a spiny skin, he is kind and never hurts anyone. Come to crochet and be friends with Boris!
This pattern comes from the picot single crochet stitch I recently learned. The round little bumps remind me of pufferfish. This cute pufferfish has two big eyes, a small protruding mouth, two small fins and a thick short tail. Most importantly, the body is covered with staggered bumps.
