The super cute yarn loving penguin, Pengwyn the Penguin is a quick knit and wonderful small winter companion

Pattern Notes:

Yarn is held double throughout.

The body is knit in one piece in the round.

The body is stuffed before closing and finishing. The white chest is knit as a separate flat piece and sewn onto the body.

The body is closed fully once eyes and beak have been attached and secured.

The feet, wings and beak are knit separately and sewn onto the body.

There are three hat options: solid color, striped and stranded colorwork.

Skill level: Advanced beginner; comfortable knitting in the round.
