Free crochet penguin pattern: a Penguin Tangled in Lights Ornament amigurumi, about 9 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a dark grey penguin with a white belly, an orange beak and pink cheeks, wrapped in a green wire of red, yellow, blue and green bulbs, with a puzzled face and a red hanging loop on top. You need about 65 m of yarn: 25 m dark grey, 10 m white, 5 m red, 5 m orange, 5 m yellow, 5 m pink, 5 m blue and 5 m light green. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Hang it on the tree, give it as a gift to penguin lovers, or keep it as a cheerful desk buddy. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
