The pattern is meant for beginner/intermediate knitters or knitters with previous experience knitting tiny animals in the round. It uses some extremely simple color changing. When you are making the main body, I suggest carrying both yarns together to prevent pulling and misshaping the penguin’s body.

This pattern uses three colors: black, white, and orange, but uses very little actual yarn. It can easily be knitted with leftover scraps, so if you feel like having a purple penguin--go for it!

Spots or other color changes can be knitted into the main body of the penguin, or can be embroidered on later.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, corrections, or suggestions. Happy knitting!
