GAUGE:

EXACT GAUGE IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR THIS PROJECT.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

sc2tog (sc decrease) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

NOTES:

1) Penguin is worked in continuous rnds; do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed.

Amigurumi Penguin Reviewed by JoAnn Szachta on 2008-10-09
Very easy, very cute! My granddaughter loved him. Instead of stuffing his feet, I put bells inside so he makes a little noise. Will definitely make more Amigurumi animals since they are so easy and quick to crochet.
