As of April 8, 2013, this pattern has not been tested. I do not recommend this amigurumi toy for very small children (who tend to put things in their mouths) because of the tassel on top of the head, and the eyes, even though they are safety eyes. If you do choose to make for a very small child, please consider sewing buttons or even crocheting eyes for the penguin, and omitting the top tassel.
