Little Penguin Pip

**Little penguin Pip is here to welcome in first snow! Emperor penguins chicks have got to be the fluffiest and cutest of all penguins, with a soft fluffy grey body that's just asking for a cuddle - but got to catch (or crochet) one first!** The instructions are written in US crochet terms, with step by step photos detailing how to make the pieces and finish the toy. The body is made in chunky chenille-type fluffy yarn with a 4.5mm hook, with the DK-weight cotton details added over the top. Made in matching yarn and hook the finished penguin will measure about 28cm/11 inch tall. You’ll need to know how to: * make a Magic Ring (visit my Instagram feed to see how to make a quick magic ring) * work in a round * start an oval piece with a chain * single crochet * increase / decrease * invisible decrease / invisible sc3tog * chain stitch * slip stitch **You will need:** This pattern uses 2 different weights of yarn - a chunky fluffy texture for the body and wings and a DK-weight cotton for the rest.
