Amigurumi Penguin Crochet Pattern

Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.

You will need:

  • light black, white and orange yarn (3 Light);
  • hook 4.25 mm;
  • fiberfill;
  • eyes with glasses 15 mm;
  • tapestry needle;
  • sewing needle and thread.

Note:

Knitting density is not important for this toy. Pick up the yarn, hook and thread tension so that the filler does not show through between the loops, and everything will be fine.

The numbers at the end of each row indicate the total number of loops that should be in the row.
We recommend that you read through each step before you begin to familiarize yourself with the work ahead.
Before sewing all parts, it is recommended to fasten all parts with pins. This will give you the opportunity to evaluate all the parts together and make changes to individual elements before reaching the final result.

With orange/yellow yarn

Take two paws and put them together, matching fingers. Over the outer edges, sew them with a seam over the edge, using a needle and a suitable thread. Tie the thread and hide the ends.

Legs: 2 pcs.
It is with this hero that legs are not at all required. In the cartoon, they are practically invisible, only paws, but sometimes they still look through. The author has included a description of the legs in the diagram if you want to knit them. Although, in the opinion of the author, the best option would be to attach the legs directly to the body, the legs do not add anything to the overall look of the toy.

Start with orange/yellow yarn.

KR 1:  ch 6 close into a ring. 1 ch and sc in a circle, change to white yarn in the last sc, close in the first sc of the circular row.
KR 2:  1 ch, sc in the same loop in which the row was closed. * 2 RLS in the next. RLS, RLS next. RLS*. Repeat from * to * in a circle to the beginning, close in the first RLS with the help of the connection. Art.
KR 3:  1 ch, sc in the same loop in which the row closed. * 2 RLS in the next. RLS, RLS next. RLS. Repeat from * around. Close the last loop and hide the ends of the threads.
(When knitting the leg, you may have an “extra” loop in the circular row. This is normal, just work sc into it and close to start the next row.)

Sew the paw to the leg as shown in the picture (the orange part of the leg is connected to the paw).

Final assembly of the toy:

  • The author strongly recommends pinning all pieces before stitching. This will give you a chance to make sure you are happy with all the pieces before sewing them into place.
  • The white tummy fits snugly against the lower abdomen and stretches towards the head (see photos)
  • The beak is lightly stuffed and shaped. It is sewn on the face, as shown in the photo. Rico is always smiling, and therefore his beak seems to be larger than that of other penguins.
  • Paws are sewn at the bottom.
  • Glue the eyes with strong fabric glue.
  • The wings are placed on the sides of the toy.
  • The hair is small pieces of black buckle about 13 cm long. Crochet these pieces in one line on the head as shown in the photo. Cut to desired length.

As usual, if you have any problems or questions about the scheme, you can write them in the comments to the post.
