I know you really want to see test products of amigurumi patterns and you can see a test product in the photo of today’s amigurumi pattern. The difficulty level of amigurumi toys can vary, but the penguin toys you will make today can be a bit challenging, especially for our beginners. Although blue and white colors are used heavily in the original design of the toy, my preference would be to use pink instead of blue, as in the photo above.
Poly the Penguin Crochet PDF Pattern
You can use a 2.5mm or 3mm crochet hook when crocheting the toy and this size varies depending on your yarn. Please remember this. If you are ready, let’s start making the crochet penguin, which you will usually make with simple crochet techniques.
