I’ve made Pru the penguin and her chick using a super chunky #6 weight yarn. This is ideal for a soft and huggable plush toy and is a quick make - you can make your penguin in a few hours. The penguins can also be made in a smaller weight yarn, with a smaller crochet hook. She is 9 inches tall and her chick is 7 inches tall (when made with the recommended materials).
The 13 page pattern is intermediate skill level and uses UK terminology – if you would prefer US terminology, please message me. It is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for colour change, back loop only and invisible finish.
The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern: slip stitch, magic ring, double crochet, half treble, treble, increase, decrease (dc2tog), colour change, back loop only, invisible finish
Recommended Materials:
- Yarn: I have made Pru using Hobbii Baby Snuggle Solid (super chunky weight yarn) - colour and weight details in pattern
- Hook: 5mm (H) crochet hook (a 6mm hook is also needed for the chest piece)
- Stuffing: I use polyester filling
- Safety eyes: I have used 12mm for Pru and 9mm for the chick plastic safety eyes, but you can embroider the eyes on if you prefer
- Large yarn needle
- Pins
- (A stitch marker and row counter are useful)
