NOTES –
– We will be using our 3.5mm crochet hook for each part apart from the scarf, which will use the 5mm.
– Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. You will be working in the round; I like to use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round.
– The body and head will be made as one piece.

Note: Here is where we will add the facial features before we start closing the head. Line up your face piece and push your safety eyes through the stitches on the head. Mine were between rounds 30 and 31; 4 stitches apart. Once you have everything placed where you would like, sew around the edges to secure.
Next, sew your beak centered between the eyes adding a small amount of stuffing as you go.
Lastly, add your cheeks by passing through one stitch on the edge of each side with your pink or red yarn.

Flippers-
With light gray make 2 (I left mine unstuffed)

At the end of round 11 pinch the arm flat and make 4 SC across the top to close, fasten off and leave a long tail to sew onto the body.
Feet –
With dark gray make 4 (we will use 2 to make each foot)
Round 1: Create a magic circle with 6 SC
Round 2: SC INC in each stitch around (12)
Round 3: SC in the first st, SC INC in the next, rep around (18)
Take 2 pieces with wrong sides facing together and sew around the edges to form one piece. Be sure to leave a tail remaining to sew onto the body. This completes one foot, repeat with the remaining 2 pieces to form the other foot.
Scarf –
Note: For the scarf we will be using the Crunch Stitch, which is a repeat of HDC into the first stitch followed by a slip stitch into the next. This will create a nice bumpy texture in our scarf.
With color of choice and 5mm hook chain 65
Row 1: *HDC into the 2nd chain from your hook, sl st into the next st*, *rep across, ch 2 and turn.
Row 2: *HDC into the first st, sl st into the next*, *rep across.
Fasten off leaving a tail to sew ends together after assembling.
Assembly –
1. First, sew your flippers onto the body centered with your facial features at round 20.
2. Next, wrap your scarf around the neck twice. Using your remaining tail, sew the ends of your scarf together to create an infinity scarf.
3. Lastly, sew your feet centered onto the bottom of your penguin. I attached at the back of the feet and left the front half open for slight movement.
