Penelope the Penguin
Here is some pattern info:
Abbreviations:
• dpn: double pointed needle
• k: knit
• kfb: knit front and back
• k2tog: knit 2 stitches together
• p: purl
• p2tog: purl 2 stitches together
• M1: make 1
• sl1, k1, psso: slip 1, knit1, pass slipped stitch over knit stitch
• ssk: slip 1 knit wise, slip 1 purl wise, knit slipped stitches together
Skill Level: Medium. You need to know Kitchener Stitch and Intarsia. I explain how to do Intarsia in the round in the pattern but you can easily convert pattern to work flat. I also give an alternative if you would rather not do Kitchener Stitch.
I posted a quick demo on Intarsia in the round on youtube.com I hope it helps with any Intarsia confusion.

That is pretty much it. This cutie makes a great gift for penguin lovers or baby shower gift. Probably shouldn’t be given to babies without supervision. I also included the pattern for her crochet flower. Please feel free to contact me if you have any problems.
