Materials Needed:
- Medium weight (4) yarn in purple, white, and yellow
- 10 mm safety eyes
- Stuffing
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch marker
- Scissors
- 5 mm crochet hook
Pattern:
Starting at the Top:
Magic Ring: Wrap yarn around your hand, and using the crochet hook, pull through to create a loop, then chain one to secure it.
- Round 1: Perform 6 single crochets inside the magic ring. Place a stitch marker in the last stitch.
- Round 2: Perform an increase (two single crochets) in each stitch around for a total of 12 stitches.
- Round 3: 1 single crochet, then an increase. Repeat around for a total of 18 stitches.
- Round 4: 1 single crochet in the next 2 stitches, then an increase. Repeat around for a total of 24 stitches.
- Round 5: 1 single crochet in the next 3 stitches, then an increase. Repeat around.
- Next 10 Rounds: Single crochet in each stitch around without increasing. This will create the height of the penguin's body.
Adding Details:
Eyes: Insert safety eyes into the body.
- Decreases for Body Shaping: Begin to decrease by stitching two together at intervals, following the inverse pattern of increases you previously made.
Final Rounds: Continue decreasing in each round until the opening is small enough to close. Fill with stuffing before fully closing the opening.
Making the Scarf:
Start: Make a slip knot and chain 60.
- Row 1: Skip the first chain from the hook, single crochet in each chain. You will have 59 single crochets.
- Finishing: Cut yarn, fasten off, and weave in ends. Add tassels if desired at both ends of the scarf.
Additional Details (Belly, Wings, Beak, and Feet):
- Belly & Wings: Similar to the body but on a smaller scale and flattened. Attach to the body using a tapestry needle.
- Beak & Feet: Use yellow yarn to embroider these features onto your penguin. The beak is centered below the eyes, and feet are at the base.
Assembling:
- Sew on the belly piece and wings securely.
- Attach the beak and feet by embroidering with yellow yarn.
- Once all pieces are attached and secure, place the scarf around your penguin's neck for the final adorable touch.
