Crochet Baby Penguin

How about making a cute crochet baby penguin for this upcoming winter? This little guy is adorable and relatively easy to make with worsted weight yarn and a size F 3.75 mm crochet hook. You can crochet this stuffed toy quickly. The head and body are one piece and made with two different colors of yarn. The two flippers and two feet are made from the same pattern. And the bill is sewn on along with the eyes. A little bit of polyester stuffing to serve as filling and he – or she – is all set!

For this baby penguin I’m using small amounts of worsted weight yarn, specifically Red Heart Super Saver along with an F 3.75 mm crochet hook. The written pattern and video provides a listing of other supplies as well.

Stitches used in this pattern include the chain (ch), single crochet (sc), and the single crochet two together stitch (sc2tog). As you might know, working with single crochet stitches in the round oftentimes causes them to slant to one side. This becomes really apparent when doing color changes. The video shows how a yarn under (yu) in the first part of a single crochet, as opposed to a yarn over (yo), keeps the color changes relatively straight from round to round.
