A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet penguin pattern: a Penguin with Cocoa amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a round black and white penguin in a red scarf with a long end, holding a light blue mug of cocoa with a marshmallow. You need about 70 m of yarn: 25 m black, 10 m red, 10 m white, 10 m light blue, 5 m orange, 5 m brown and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. A cosy winter gift or shelf decoration for penguin and hot chocolate fans. Rotate the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern for the penguin, scarf and mug.

How to crochet the Penguin with Cocoa

  2. Stuff and put it together in 12 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.

    1. Penguin is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Beak → penguin. Centre: between rounds 19 and 20, on the centre front line. Sew around the opening (8 st); the seam covers rounds 19–20 of the penguin, about 3 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Flipper → penguin (make 2). Centre: in round 14, 12.5 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). Flatten the opening (3 st against 3 st) and sew it on in a straight line top to bottom (along the penguin), across the rounds: rounds 13–15 of the penguin, about 1 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Foot → penguin (make 2). Centre: in round 3, 1.5 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). 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 3–4 of the penguin, about 6 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Cheek → penguin (make 2). Centre: in round 20, 5.5 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 18–22 of the penguin, about 3 st wide.
    1. Scarf → penguin. Put the scarf around the penguin: the chain ring (48 st) lies along round 16.7 of the penguin, the rounds spreading down; sew the ring to the penguin all round and let the rest lie free on it.
    1. Scarf end (worked flat in turned rows): with red, ch 6; Row 1: starting in the 2nd ch from hook, 5 sc, ch 1, turn (5). Rows 2–10: 5 sc, ch 1, turn (5). Fasten off. The strip is about 2 cm long. Lay it along the curve of the penguin, running side to side: its middle in round 16, 5.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ; its ends in round 16, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right and between rounds 14 and 15, 8 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right . Pin, then sew along both long edges.
    1. Mug → penguin. Centre: in round 9, on the centre front line. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches rounds 9–17 of the penguin, about 8 st wide. It points up and forward. Press it into the base by about 5 mm.
    1. Cocoa → mug. Centre: at the centre of the last round. Stand the joined double circle on its edge and sew it on by its bottom edge only — about 2 st of the edge; the seam covers rounds 9–10 of the mug, about 10 st wide. It points backward and up. Press it into the base by about 4 mm.
    1. Marshmallow (no. 1) → mug. Centre: between rounds 6 and 7, on the centre front line. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches rounds 6–10 of the mug, about 4 st wide. It points up.
    1. Marshmallow (no. 2) → mug. Centre: between rounds 6 and 7, 5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches rounds 6–10 of the mug, about 3 st wide. It points up.
    1. Mug handle → mug. Centre: in round 3, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left. Stand the joined double circle on its edge and sew it on by its bottom edge only — about 2 st of the edge; the seam covers rounds 4–6 of the mug, about 2 st wide. It points outward.

    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 penguin): in round 21, 6 st apart (count along round 21: about 3 st each side of the centre front line).
