I am with you today with a simple penguin amigurumi pattern. Although there are a few color transitions in the toy, I think it is among the crochet toys you should try in order to have this magnificent keychain. The toy is made of chenille yarn and the yarn brand to be used is Sweet Snuggles. The size of the hook you will use when making the crochet toy is 5.5 mm.
Lilo the Baby Penguin Keychain Pattern Step by Step
It is recommended that you use 12 mm safety eyes to make the eyes of the crochet penguin. Although the wings of the toy are made as a separate piece, the penguin’s legs are made using the bobble stitch technique. Please note that the penguin’s legs and beak are made using the same color yarn.

The penguin amigurumi toy is crocheted and sewn in only two pieces. These pieces are the penguin’s wings and body. You can see that the legs of the toy are made in a distinctly orange color, but as I mentioned above, these legs you see are made with the bobble stitch technique. Now let’s crochet the penguin’s wings first.
Wing
Ch 4, SC, HDC, HDC
As you can see, we completed the penguin’s wings in a short time. Now it’s time for the penguin’s body. Since there are different color transitions on the toy’s body, you need to follow the instructions you see completely. When you make the right color transitions, you will have a magnificent penguin.
