Step Two

Make white circles for belly and face

For belly circle-
Round 1: in mr, ch 1, 6 sc (6 sc)
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (12 sc)
Round 3: [1 sc in first stitch, 2 sc in next] repeat around (18 sc)

For face circle-
Round 1: in mr, ch 1, 6 sc (6 sc)
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (12 sc)
Round 3: [1 sc in first stitch, 2 sc in next] x4 (12 sc)

Sew the circles on the face and belly, the face circle is actually a little bit of an oval and should be sewn on so that the wider direction goes across the face.

Step Three

Make 2 wings

With black yarn

ch 6
in 3rd ch, [2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc], slip stitch to last ch

Sew along the top of the wing to each side of the penguin, just below the neck

Step Four

Make the feet

With orange yarn
ch 7
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from the hook and each ch across (6 sc)
Row 2: ch 1, skip first sc, 3 dc in next sc, slip stitch in next sc, slip stitch in next sc, ch 1, 3 dc in next sc, slip stitch in next sc
finish off leaving long tail for sewing

Sew the feet to the bottom of the penguin

Step Five

Make the scarf

The scarf is made in two pieces, the longer piece will wrap around the neck, the shorter section is the end piece and will be folded over the long piece to create the scarf ends.

With red yarn:
ch 21
sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across (20 sc)
finish off leaving long end for sewing

ch 13
sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across (12 sc)
finish off, weave in ends

Cut 6 pieces of yarn, about 3 inches long, attach 3 to each end of the shorter piece with a larks head knot (fold in half and pull the folded end slightly through then pull the cut ends through the loop that created, pull the ends to tighten) to create a fringe

Fold the short piece in half over the long piece, then wrap the long piece around the neck so that the ends meet in the back, stitch the ends together, be sure that the ends are positioned where you want them, then stitch through to secure.

Step Six

Make the hat

Do not cut yarn between stripes, carry the yarn inside the hat

Start with light teal yarn
Round 1: in mr, ch 1, 6 sc, switch to dark teal (6 sc)
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch, switch to light teal(12 sc)
Round 3: [1 sc in first stitch, 2 sc in next] repeat around, switch to dark teal (18 sc)
Round 4: [1 sc in first 2 stitches, 2 sc in next] repeat around, switch to light teal (24 sc)
Round 5: 1 sc in each stitch, switch to dark teal (24 sc)
Round 6: 1 sc in each stitch, switch to light teal (24 sc)
Rounds 7-9: 1 sc in each stitch (24 sc)
finish off leaving long tail for sewing

Make the pom pom

Wrap the light teal yarn several times around 2 fingers, tie tightly around the center, cut loops, trim, sew to the top of the hat

Fold the bottom of the hat up to create a brim, add a little bit of stuffing the hat and sew to the top of the head.

Step Seven

Make the face

Make the beak
ch 2, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook

Stitch 2 eyes with black yarn
Sew beak on below the eyes

Step Eight

Add hanger

Cut a 8-9″ length of crochet thread, loop through the hat, tie a knot and pull through so that the knot is on the inside

That’s it, now your little penguin is ready to be hung on the Christmas tree.
