Materials and tools
Before you start knitting, you will need the following materials and tools:
- yarn in black, white and orange colors;
- hook size 2.5 mm;
- scissors;
- stuffing for toys;
- sewing needles.
Beginning of work
Start by creating a crochet penguin pattern to fit your measurements. Next, move on to knitting the penguin head. To do this, make a magic ring from black yarn and knit 6 single crochets in the ring. Then knit 2 stitches in each stitch of the previous row to make 12 stitches.
In the next row, knit 1 single crochet, then 2 single crochets in the next loop and repeat until the end of the row.
Continue knitting the next rows until the diameter of the head reaches the desired size. Usually 8-10 rows are enough.
Penguin body
To knit the body of the penguin, use white yarn. Start with a magic ring of 6 single crochets and increase the number of stitches each row by 6 until the body diameter is sufficient. Usually 24-30 loops are enough.
Continue knitting the body without increasing the number of stitches until it is long enough. Usually 20-25 rows are enough.
Knitting arms and legs
To knit penguin arms and legs, take black yarn and a 3 mm hook. First, knit your hands.
