Free crochet penguin pattern: a Penguin on Ice Skates amigurumi, about 10 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a plump black and white penguin in a teal bobble beanie with a yellow pompom, leaning forward with its flippers thrown up and long silver blades under teal skate boots. You need about 75 m of yarn: 25 m black, 15 m teal, 10 m white, 10 m silver, 5 m yellow, 5 m pink and 5 m orange. Plan on roughly 3 hours. It makes a cheerful winter desk buddy or a small gift for anyone who loves skating. Spin the 3D model to see the wobbly balancing pose and follow the round-by-round pattern.
