    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

      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 🙂

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    On the instructions where it says to put poly pellets in the belly, do you mean in the body of the penguin? The belly is just the white circle you sew onto the body. Do I sew it on partially, then put pellets in the “pocket” before sewing it on fully?
