Head & Body
Blue yarn
Round 1 6 sc in magic loop (6)
To keep track of where you are, use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each rnd. Each time you start a new rnd, move the stitch marker to the first stitch of that rnd.

Round 3 [sc, inc] x 6 (18)
Round 4 [inc, 2 sc ] x 6 (24)
Round 5 24 sc (24)
Your work might start curling at this point. For a neater final look, push the middle of your circle until it curves the other way. This makes the “right side” face out. Then keep on crocheting in the same direction as you were.

Fasten off with a long tail. To close the remaining gap, use a tapestry needle to sew the yarn tail hrough the front loops of each stitch in a clockwise order.

Insert the safety eyes between rnds 7 & 8, with 6 stitches between them. If this toy is for a baby or pet, embroider the eyes instead. Stuff your piece, shaping it like an egg.

Magic loop
Magic loops are a common way to start amigurumi. Making it can be quite challenging, so to make your intro to crochet
easier, your kit comes with a premade magic loop.

Stuff amigurumi
How you stuff your amigurumi greatly affects its shape – lumpy or smooth, saggy or plump. If you don’t add enough,
your amigurumi may look sunken in. If you add too much, the stuffing might be seen from the outside of your work. It
takes time to learn how much stuffing to put in your work, but don’t worry – you’ll get a feel for it with some experience.
Add safety eyes
Safety eyes aren’t safe for children younger than 3 years old, or pets. If you don’t want to use safety eyes, simply
embroider them on instead.
Finish a closed piece
When you finish the body of your penguin, there’ll likely still be a hole in the middle. Here’s how you get rid of it.
Join pieces
Joining an open piece (in yellow) to a closed piece (in blue) with this method makes the seam invisible.
