So if you are looking for a free Penguin Crochet Pattern, that you can also turn into a Penguin Christams ornament, then this cute little pattern is for you. And the best bit? It is free! So come and join us with this cute winter craft and have a go at making this adorable Amigurumi penguin ornament today!
The great thing about this easy Penguin Crochet Pattern, is that it can be easily “scaled up” or scaled down depending on what wool/ yarn you use and what size hooks. We made two as part of the pattern writing, as you can see the final size is different.
Also, we had some friends who were learning to crochet give the pattern ago and again, their penguins turned out larger than ours – in fact, the perfect size for making them into crochet penguin ornaments for the Christmas Tree!
Beginner crochet tends to use larger hooks and the loops tend to be a little looser! So this a prefect pattern to turn into a crochet Christmas ornament!
Supplies needed for this Penguin Ornament
- crochet cotton yarn in desired colors (we used white yarn for tummy and blue and purple for body, plus off cuts in yellow and black for beak and eyes)
- hook size 2.5
- yarn needle to sew in long tails
- scissors
But you can use other crochet hook sizes to make different sized penguins! Especially if you would like to use this as a crochet ornament.
