Meet Danny, the Baby Penguin! Danny is a sweet baby penguin who will be devoted to you for life if you just give him plenty of love (and fish). He’s ready for all the cuddles, and thankfully for you, he’s not hard to whip up!

-DK – light worsted in white and any two complementary colors. (You could substitute with sport weight, although sport weight is a little thicker than DK.) For my penguins, I used Paintbox Yarns Simply DK.
-C (2.75 mm) crochet hook
-7.5 mm black safety eyes
-Fiberfill (or your stuffing of choice)
-Bent tip tapestry needle
-Scissors
-Stitch marker
-Straight pins
