Free crochet penguins pattern: a Penguin Couple in One Scarf amigurumi, about 10 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A tall and a small black penguin lean together, each with a yellow cheek patch and a red scarf, with one striped end hanging between them; the small one smiles with closed eyes. You need about 100 m of yarn: 50 m black, 15 m red, 15 m white, 10 m orange, 5 m yellow and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. A sweet Valentine gift for two penguin lovers or a shelf pair for anyone who likes cosy winter couples. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern to make both birds.

    1. Tall penguin is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Small penguin → tall penguin. Centre: at the centre of the magic ring. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches rounds 8–26 of the tall penguin, about 9 st wide. It points up. Press it into the base by about 5.8 cm.
    1. Beak (no. 1) → tall penguin. Centre: in round 25, on the centre front line. Sew around the opening (8 st); the seam covers rounds 24–26 of the tall penguin, about 3 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Beak (no. 2) → small penguin. Centre: in round 21, on the centre front line. Sew around the opening (8 st); the seam covers rounds 20–22 of the small penguin, about 3 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Flipper (no. 1) → tall penguin. Centre: in round 15, 12 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right. Flatten the opening (3 st against 3 st) and sew it on in a straight line front to back, along the round: rounds 14–16 of the tall penguin, about 2 st wide. It points outward and slightly down.
    1. Flipper (no. 2) → small penguin. Centre: in round 12, 10.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left. Flatten the opening (3 st against 3 st) and sew it on in a straight line front to back, along the round: rounds 11–13 of the small penguin, about 2 st wide. It points outward and slightly down.
    1. Foot (no. 1) → tall penguin (make 2). Centre: in round 3, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Flatten the opening (5 st against 5 st) and sew it on in a straight line side to side (across the toy), along the round: rounds 3–5 of the tall penguin, about 7 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Foot (no. 2) → small penguin (make 2). Centre: in round 3, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Flatten the opening (5 st against 5 st) and sew it on in a straight line side to side (across the toy), along the round: rounds 3–5 of the small penguin, about 7 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Yellow ear patch (no. 1) → tall penguin (make 2). Centre: between rounds 22 and 23, 10.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 21–24 of the tall penguin, about 3 st wide.
    1. Yellow ear patch (no. 2) → small penguin (make 2). Centre: in round 19, 9 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 17–20 of the small penguin, about 3 st wide.
    1. Cheek (no. 2) → small penguin (make 2). Centre: in round 20, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 18–22 of the small penguin, about 4 st wide.
    1. Tall penguin scarf → tall penguin. Put the tall penguin scarf around the tall penguin: the chain ring (36 st) lies along round 19.5 of the tall penguin, the rounds spreading down; sew the ring to the tall penguin all round and let the rest lie free on it.
    1. Small penguin scarf → small penguin. Put the small penguin scarf around the small penguin: the chain ring (30 st) lies along round 16.5 of the small penguin, the rounds spreading down; sew the ring to the small penguin all round and let the rest lie free on it.

Flatten the opening (6 st against 6 st) and sew it on in a straight line front to back, along the round: rounds 19–20 of the tall penguin, about 2 st wide. It points outward.
    1. Long scarf end → tall penguin. Centre: in round 19, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left. Flatten the opening (4 st against 5 st) and sew it on in a straight line side to side (across the toy), along the round: round 19 of the tall penguin, about 4 st wide. It points down and slightly forward.

    Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

    • Safety eyes with a printed glint 12 mm (on the tall penguin): between rounds 25 and 26, 7 st apart (count along round 25: about 3.5 st each side of the centre front line).
    • Embroidery in black thread (on the small penguin) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 20 and 21, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 21 and 22, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 20 and 21, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
