Mini Penguin Amigurumi Keychain Pattern by adorably kawaii
Please look over the pattern carefully before starting. When you change colors
over a few stitches, you can drop the yarn and leave a short float (making sure it's not too tight) or crochet over it instead of fastening it off each time.
Materials:
Tools:
• Worsted weight yarn in pink, white,
• B/2.25mm hook • Yarn needle
and orange. (I used Vanna's Choice Baby and Red Heart Super Savers) • Pair of 9mm safety eyes • Keychain • Stuffing
Size: • Approximately 2.5”(6cm) tall. Results will vary depending on your tension and your yarn & hook choice. 1
Gauge: It's important to make sure the hook size you're using is the appropriate size for your yarn and tension. Choose a size that makes the stitches tight enough so stuffing doesn't show through. Generally, you should use a hook that is about 2 sizes smaller than recommended on the yarn label.

Sk - Skip Sl st - Slip stitch St(s) -–Stitch(es) R# - Round/Row # Rep - Repeat
Pattern Notes: • Pattern is written in US terms. • All pieces are worked through both loops. If you crochet in the back loop only , the stitches will be taller and finished object will have different shapes and proportions. • This pattern is worked in a continuous spiral. Use a stitch marker to mark the start or end of the round. • Increases are written with the number before the stitch such as“2 sc in st”or“3 dc in st”.
