Meet Pippin. What’s cuter than a penguin? A palm-sized purple penguin, perhaps.

She can be made in any yarn and hook combination you want. Just be certain that the fabric is firm enough that stuffing does not show through.

My Pippin is made in Vanna’s Choice Solids using three colors.

• Color 1: Eggplant (30 yards)
• Color 2: Lilac (20 Yards)
• Color 3: Mustard (5 Yards)

Pippin in an Intermediate- to Challenging-level pattern. Skills you will need include single crochet, increases, decreases, color changes (cut and tie method), single crochet into the bottom of a foundation chain and some seaming.

The pattern has plenty of progress photos to help you along your way to making your own pint-sized penguin!
