  1. Im a 68yr old man, and 4 yrs ago when our first grandchild came along, I knew I wanted to do something different for her, so I learnt how to crochet using online videos. I made her a beautiful soft blanket, but since then I’ve been making her toys. She will absolutely LOVE a few of these little guys. Great pattern, thank you very much.

  4. There are a couple of different methods for making the pompom, all easily available online. I’m intending on using the fork method for this one as I think it should be just about the right size.

  5. Just finished it.lately i made a crochet rooster which i found in this site for my uncle’s birthday,wonder if he likes that,he loved it and asked if i can make a pinguin,so i made this baby pingiun for him.guys like cool stuff too 😁 thank you so much for all these easy to follow patterns,i already used 6 of your patterns.

  14. Hi There,
    Do you have any substitutes for the type of yarn? I can’t get that type of yarn in Canada. I’m just wondering what the size of the yarn in so I can get something similar 🙂

  17. Hi Candice. It says that the total number of rows for the hats depends on the size of the head, I would assume that you just keep going until the hat sits snuggly on the head, not forgetting the turnup. I hope this helps.
    Great pattern BT4 2GQ the way, my granddaughter loves hers.

  22. Hello! Thank you for this pattern, I am using it to make a thank you present for my son’s teacher (he is in the Penguin class). I just have one question, the picture in the pattern shows a tail at the back of the penguin however there is no pattern for the tail. Please could you let me know if I’ve missed something. Thank you again!

  24. thanks for your wonderfull free patterns , they are fun to make, the penquin is so adorable that all my children have made requests i just cant crochet fast enough thaks again for easy instuctions

  26. I love the free patterns but there is no print button & it won’t copy & paste. I was hoping to make all kinds of the animals (if not too hard) then donate them for TOYS FOR TOTS at Christmas & some to children in the hospital.

  27. I finished this pattern last night and I am so happy with the result. I’ve named my little baby penguin Percy and I am absolutely in love! He turned out much bigger than I was expecting haha. The pattern was well written and easy to follow.
    I would like to try making a larger one in the future using chunkier yarn and a bigger hook. For now though I think I will try making little Percy some other clothes! 🙂
    Thank you for your amazing work!

  30. I just made one of these for my penguin-obsessed sister. There are some small changes I had to make to get the penguin to more closely match the picture. Otherwise, the pattern was fairly easy to follow, and I know my sister will adore this little penguin. Thank you for providing this pattern for free!

  32. Thank you for making this available for free! These are adorable and larger than I imagined from my first view. That’s a good thing because my grands love them!

  34. Hi! How can I get the free Baby Penguin crochet pattern? It is just too cute for words!! Penguins are my Granddaughters favorite animal and I would love to knit her some. Thank you!

    • Hi Kathleen 🙂 You can use online versions of the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂

  35. Hi Im not sure what it means for rounds 24-34 , sc in each stitch and make even decreases.

    Am I decreasing in rounds 24-34? How many per row? Or is that sentence referring to the following rounds

    Thanks

  37. Awwwww…. too cute for words! I’m think I’m going to have to make a whole ‘waddle’ of penguins for friends and family this Christmas (yes, that is apparently the collective noun for a group of penguins on land!). Thank you so much for sharing the pattern.

  41. Ooooh I was supposed to clean my craft room. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Think I will make one of these first. Thank you so much for the pattern.
