Every year I like to make a new ornament for my Christmas tree. This year’s ornament is a cute little penguin that I named Peta. Peta Penguin is worked in the round using an intarsia in the round method. If you have never tried intarsia in the round this project can provide you with some quick practice and an adorable result.

yards/50g) in colorways black, white, and lipstick. Divide black into 2 balls.
