Hi there...
One of the free amigurumi crochet patterns we will share today is the amigurumi penguin, whose design belong to Ekaterina Akishina. You can learn how to crochet these little penguin using the free amigurumi pattern. Thanks to Ekaterina Akishina for this cute penguin.
Abbreviations:
MR – amigurumi ring
sc – single crochet
inc – increase
dec – decrease
ch – air loop
dc – double crochet
(…) х6 – repeat the action in brackets 6 times
Materials:
• yarn (black, white – for the body, red – boots, 1-2 colors for a blouse, yarn for accessories) – I have a half-cotton for the penguin himself and acrylic for a hat and scarf).
• safe eyes or black thread for them.
• 3 pom-poms (can be made from strings).
• applique (you can cut it yourself out of felt, or embroider, or just take a button – this is a flight of imagination).
• hook No. 2-2.5
• stocking needles number 3 (well, or depending on the yarn, you can also knit on circular and sew on the back).
Arms:
We will knit in a spiral – marking the beginning of the row with a marker (it is more convenient for me to use a thread of a contrasting color for this purpose).
1) 6sc in MR – the main color of the penguin is black, gray.
2) (inc) x6 (12)
3) (sc, inc) x6 (18)
4) 18sc
5) 18sc – color change, sleeve went. You can knit striped as in the photo – or plain.
6) 18sc for the back loop.
7-13) 18sc (if you knit striped – change color every 2-3 rows, as you like).
14) (4sc, dec) x3 (15)
15-16) 15sc
17) Fold both sides and knit, grabbing 8 sc at both ends.
No need to stuff the upper legs!
Tuck in the extra stitches and in the 6th row, knit by the front loop as in photo 18sc.
