Kevin the Penguin crochet pattern

Meet Kevin, the perfect crochet penguin to be right by your side through good times and bad. Just because our amigurumi penguin measures about 5 inches doesn’t mean that it can’t be a big part of everything you do, in fact, it means quite the opposite. Crochet it today with our step-by-step pattern!

To crochet this amigurumi penguin you need:

• Super fine 100% acrylic yarn (200 m / 50 g) in blue, white, yellow, and orange colors
• 2.0 mm crochet hook
• Fiberfill
• 9 mm safety eyes
• Scissors and sewing needle

Skill level: intermediate

The finished amigurumi penguin is about 12 cm (4.7″) tall. Please pay attention that the size of your crochet toy depends on yarn weight and hook size.
