Pattern Notes:
The pattern will be worked in continuous rounds unless told otherwise.
Stuff as you go but note that the arms will only be stuffed on the bottom half and the
ears will not be stuffed.

Mane and Tail:
For the longer hairs on the mane ch30, for the shorter hair on the mane and the tail
chain 15, starting from the second chain from the hook, 2sc in the first stitch, 1sc in
the next. Repeat this pattern until the end of the chains.
Make at least 6 that are 30 chains long for the mane and at least 5 that are 15 chains
long for the tail.
Assembly
Remember to always use pins to place the parts on the right places before
sewing.
Start by sewing the head to the body slightly facing it down. I made the white outline
for the eyes after this step but feel free to skip it or do it at anytime as it doesn’t affect
anything.
Sew the ears and horn 4 rounds above the eyes. The top of the single crochet’s we
made to close the ears should be facing forward so that the ears bend lightly.
Sew the back legs first, do it only on the last 4 or 5 rounds so that the legs lay
straight.
Now sew the front legs so that they fall between the back legs. Sew down only the
first 4 or 5 rounds as well.
Lastly sew the mane and tail. I made 5 short hairs for the tails, sewing 3 on the
bottom and 2 on top. For the mane I sew the long hairs in line only on the top
stitches.
And you are done!
Hope you enjoyed this pattern and join my experience as a designer as I
continue to grow.
Penguin love to you
