mi familia en casa, viendo películas y tejiendo, y es bastante bueno. Hace demasiad

frío para salir, pero pensé en aprovechar esta oportunidad para actualizar mi
amigurumi pingüino de ganchillo que hice el año pasado. la Penélope original era
súper linda, pero he aprendido tanto sobre amigurumi desde entonces que pensé
era hora de un cambio de imagen.

This is a great pattern if you’re new to making toys. All you really need for this free
penguin amigurumi is to make the body and head which are basic shapes, and the
add a few little bits on to complete the look. Because it doesn’t involve a lot of shap
this penguin works up quickly. I think I made mine in just 2 or 3 hours, so it’s a grea
snow day project when you’re just sitting at home and want to whip something up
also love that this penguin has a at bottom so she can stand on her own.

Crochet amigurumi and plushies are some of my favorite things to make. In the pa
didn’t make as many as I wanted, worried that people wouldn’t love them as much
do. This year, though, I decided to spend more time doing what I love and I already
have a few amigurumi patterns out! You can check out my recent Christmas
Amigurumi here. You might also like my pattern for Shelby the Turtle below!

Penelope the Penguin Amigurumi Pattern


To make the face and body of this penguin amigurumi, I switched between black a
white yarn, working my stitches over the color I wasn’t using to carry it to the next
round. Just hold the unused color behind your work and make sure to trap it as you
to nish your stitch. Keep the yarn loose, so it doesn’t pull your work inwards! If you
need more help on how to change color in crochet, I have a video below to help yo
out. If there’s no video below, disable adblock so it can load properly!
Head:


Round 1: With yarn in Black, create a magic loop and work 6 SC into it. Place a stitc
marker.
Round 2: Inc in each space by working 2 SC into each (12).
Round 3: *SC, inc* around (18).
Round 4: *SC 2, inc* around (24).
Rounds 8-11: SC around for 4 rounds.
Round 12: SC 1 in black, 3 in white, 8 in black, 3 in white, and the rest in black.
Round 13: SC 5 in white, 6 in black, 5 in white, and the rest in black.
Round 14: SC 6 in white, 5 in black, 6 in white, and the rest in black.
Round 15: SC 1 in black, 6 in white, 2 in black, 6 in white, and the rest in black.
Rounds 16-18: SC 15 in white, and the rest in black. Insert safety eyes about 6 stitche
apart between rounds 15 and 16. You can see from mine that I have 2 white stitches
black and 2 white between the eyes. Secure the backings once you’re happy with t
placement.
For the decrease round, use white over the white stitches and black over
black stitches. As you decrease, you’ll see the white section get smaller
towards the bottom of the face.


Round 19: *SC 5, dec* around (36).

Round 22: *SC 2, dec* around (18). Finish adding stuf ng.
Round 23: *SC, dec* around (12).
Ronda 24: Disminuir alrededor de (6). Luego corte el hilo y enhebre la cola a través
una aguja de tapiz. Pasa la aguja por debajo de los bucles frontales de cada puntad
asegura el hilo. Tejer al nal.

Cuerpo:

Ronda 1: Con hilo en Negro, crea un bucle mágico y trabaja 6 SC en él. Coloque un
marcador de puntada para marcar el comienzo de la ronda.
Ronda 2: Aum en cada espacio trabajando 2 SC en cada (12).
Ronda 3: * SC, aum * alrededor (18).
Ronda 4: * SC 2, aum * alrededor (24). 

Ronda 5: * SC 3, aum * alrededor (30).

Attach the white yarn and work the rst half of the round in white (24) an
the second half in black (24). Continue working half white and half black a
you decrease.
Rounds 9-18: SC for 10 rounds.
Round 21: SC around for 2 rounds.
Round 28: *SC 2, dec* around (18). Then BO, leaving a long tail of black for sewing, a
stuff the remaining white into the body.



Wings (make 2):

Row 1: With white, chain 5. Turn, and SC 4.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn and SC 4.
Rows 3-6: Ch 1, turn. Increase once, SC to end. (9)
Rows 7-14: Ch 1, turn. Decrease once, SC to end (1). Then BO.
Row 1: With black, chain 6, leaving a long tail to sew it onto the body later. Turn, an
SC 5.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn and SC 5.
Rows 3-7: Ch 1, turn. Increase once, SC to end. (10)
Rows 8-17: Ch 1, turn. Decrease once, SC to end (1).

Row 18: Hold the white wing with the black and SC around the entire thing with b
yarn to join the two halves together. Then, bind off and weave in the end. Trim the
excess yarn.
Nose:

Lastly, our penguin amigurumi needs a nose! Or is it a beak…?


Round 1: With the orange yarn, chain 4. Work 2 SC into the second space from the
hook, SC 1, then SC 3 into the last space. Now turn the work so you’re working into t
back loops, SC 1, then SC 1 into the rst space worked. You should have 8 stitches in
your oval now.
Rounds 2-3: SC around for 2 rounds. Then BO, leaving a long tail for sewing the nos
onto the face.

Assembly

Now it’s time to put our penguin amigurumi together! First, align the head onto th
body, centering the last white stitches of the head onto the body. The sides won’t li
up exactly but you won’t see that once it’s all sewn together. Use the tail yarn from
body and a tapestry needle to go under each stitch and around the corresponding
space on the head. Work all the way around. Then secure the yarn and weave the e
inside the head.



Now position a wing onto the side of the body where the two colors meet. Use the
yarn from the wing and a tapestry needle to sew those 5 stitches onto the side of t
body. Secure the yarn and weave in the end. Repeat on the other side with the oth
wing.


Finally, use the tail yarn from the nose and sew the nose in place just where the bla
section between the eyes meets the white. The nose should sit right at the V. Then
secure the yarn and weave in the end. Trim off any excess yarn and you are done w
your penguin amigurumi!
How cute is Penelope!
I love the way this new version turned out, and most of the difference just comes fr
learning more about amigurumi and have better quality yarn. It’s not more expens
but rather than using scraps of a scratchy black and white as I did for the original
version, this time I used higher quality acrylic yarn with a little bit of a shine to it. Th
Love this Yarn and Caron’s Simply Soft are two of the nicest yarns I’ve used for
amigurumi and they cost the same as RHSS. I also used a smaller hook than I
originally did which gave me neater, tighter stitches and a more nished look.

Tried this pattern numerous time but I just cant get it to work out from ro
to 24. Cant seem to get to the 2 black stitches in between the white on row
and the decreasing doesnt come in it goes in parallel lines. Where am I go
wrong?

Hola. Beautiful little Penelope is giving me a little trouble in row 15. LOL Ca
you please con rm that it’s only TWO sc in black between the two white
areas? The previous row was ve, and the two black sc will cause the entir
white area to follow slide by three stitches. Is this correct? 

SHEHLA AHMED
 December 10, 2019 - 10:23 pm
Hola Jody!
It is only 2 stitches. If it’s sliding to one side, you may have miscount
a stitch somewhere earlier in the round. The two black stitches are
meant to center between the white sections to make the nose brid

I gured it out, by fudging a bit. LOL My 15-count is actually 17. But

works. Now I’m on the wings. I’ve made the attempt twice on the
part, and by row 6 I only have an 8-count. I don’t understand how th
row 6 can have 9 stitches. Please help.
SHEHLA AHMED
 December 13, 2019 - 9:30 am
You may have just skipped an increase. But don’t worry too

much, it’s just to form that V shape so the count doesn’t real
make too much difference!

Can anyone help me with the nose? Everything else on this little guy is
complete but I can’t seem to gure out the nose!
SHEHLA AHMED
 November 6, 2018 - 3:05 pm
Hi!
Sorry about the late reply. For the nose, you just make a small chain
and work around and around it to make an oval. So chain 6 and wo
SC. Then in the last space, 2 SC. Now you work into the loop on the
other side of the chain and SC along there. Then just work a few mo
rows!

No worries – thank you! Just nished him. He’s only my seco

ever project so he isn’t perfect, but he turned out pretty stink
cute! ?

Any chance someone has done a video showing how to do this? I’m not su
how exactly to go about increasing and decreasing. I’m still very new to
crochet and learned from someone in the UK so their terms are different
from the ones we use in the US!

Hi Noelle!
I don’t have a video for this full pattern, but you can nd resources (
videos) for increasing and decreasing here:

I also have a post going over the differences between US and UK
terms, along with a cheat sheet,
here:https://www.theblueelephants.com/2017/08/crochet-

Hope they help!

Those were super helpful! Got most of this little guy knocked

that done, it’s just assemble and he’s nished. Have any tips
the nose (errr… beak)?
