This adorable beanie is one of my favorites because penguins are my favorite animals! I love how cute it looks as a newborn hat, or even for going to see the real penguins at the Zoo! Great for Christmas gift, or for when the cold weather comes back around!

It is rated easy/beginner, though it does need a small knowledge of stitches such as single crochet decrease and half double crochet decrease. It gives instructions for all sizes from newborn to adult, and for optional earflaps with ties.
