Wings x2:

• Round 1: Using the light blue yarn (or whatever your main body color is), make a MR and make sc x6 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x6 in the second chain from the hook. (6)

• Round 7: Inc, sc x9, inc, sc x9 (22)
• Round 8-12: Sc x22 (22). Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing arms to the body.

Feet x2:

• For this part we will be working rows. Make sure to make this pattern twice because it will be single crochet together to give the feet more stability so they do not curl up. It also makes it have a cleaner finish.
• Row 1: Using the yellow yarn, ch x7 + 1 turning chain (turning chains are just to help turn your work when you get to a new row, these do not count as stitches so do not crochet into them)
• Row 2: In the second chain from the hook, make a sc. Do this for the rest of the row. (7). Ch 1 and turn.
• Row 3-13: Sc x7 (7). Ch 1 and turn.
• Row 14: Now turn the piece on its side so the rows you just worked (which are normally horizontal) are vertical. You have the raw edge on the top, you are now going to work in the edge, you should be able to see small holes made by the turning chain. Each row you previously made is equal to 1 sc for the edge in these holes. So if there isn't any confusion, let's begin.
• Sc x7 (7). Ch 1 and turn.
• Row 15-18: Sc x7 (7). Ch 1 and turn.
• After making 2 of these, line them up best you can and sc all around the edge. Do not stuff the feet otherwise your penguin may have a balancing issue.

Beak:

• Round 1: Using the yellow yarn, make a MR and make sc x6 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x6 in the second chain from the hook. (6)
• Round 2: Inc in every sc. (12) Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

White belly:

• Round 1: Using the white yarn, make a MR and make sc x8 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x8 in the second chain from the hook. (8)
• Round 2: Inc in every sc. (16)
• Round 3: Inc, sc, inc, sc and repeat until end of round (24)
• Round 4: Inc, sc x2, inc, sc x2 and repeat until end of round (32)
• Round 5: Inc, sc x3, inc, sc x3 and repeat until end of round (40)
• Round 6: Inc, sc x4, inc, sc x4 and repeat until end of round (48)
• Round 7: Inc, sc x5, inc, sc x5 and repeat until end of round (56) Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing onto the penguin.

Sewing:

• Sew the white belly to the penguin body first. This will help you with placement with the other pieces.
• Stitch the wings on each side of the penguin by the white circle edge but not on the white.
• Stitch the feet to the bottom of the penguin, making sure to have the feet poke out a little from underneath the penguin.
• And finally add the beak to the top of the white belly by the penguins eyes.
• And now you have a crochet penguin stuffed animal to love and cherish made from me free crochet penguin pattern!
