• The pattern is clickable, so you can click on the blue and underlined words
to jump to the named point of the document. (ONLY in PDF format)
• If you make this toy for a child or a baby please pay attention to the toy
making laws and regulations. For safety, embroider the eyes and nose
instead of using safety eyes and nose. As with all children's products, adult
supervision is required. Products that contain small parts may pose a
choking hazard and should not be used by children under 3.
• If you would like to make this toy in another type of yarn, you can, but pay
attention for the yarn and hook sizes. When pattern says to use smaller
hook you should choose approx. 1 mm smaller hook and finer yarn.
• In this pattern work in spiral unless the pattern writes otherwise.
• If you don’t understand something in the written part of pattern, you
should take a look first the illustrations before crocheting.

PLEASE, if you share your finished penguin on social media name me

(Illustration 2.)

Go back to tha body part and find Row38 where have

to see the Front Loops. If you find them mark the
front loops above the wings, which can be find the
closest to the back side of the penguin.

Between both marks you should have 9 FLO in the back side, and 15 FLO in the
front side (including marked stitches). So it's a total of 24 stitches.
At the marking pick up the beginner chain with grey yarn, and make more 24 chain.
After that join the chains the other marked FLO with 1 sc, then make 8 sc in the
FLO-s (in the back side). Join to the beginner chain and from here work in spiral.
