A free crochet penguin pattern for a squishy navy penguin mochi ball with a white heart-shaped face and a tiny orange beak. This amigurumi penguin is wider than tall, with a snowy tummy, little flippers, orange feet and pink cheeks, so it sits steadily on a shelf or stacks with other mochi toys. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, ends up about 5.6 cm (2.2 in) tall and 9 cm wide, and uses 8 mm safety eyes. The heart face, tummy and cheeks are flat pieces sewn on, so the pattern stays simple; follow it row by row with stitch counts and check each piece in the interactive 3D model.

- A flat oval about 5.7 × 3.7 cm; 5 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
