A Fish for a Penguin

image1Here they are. My tiny penguins. I enjoyed making them, especially the tiniest one.

Both are made using the same pattern but different threads and hooks.  I used size 8 cotton thread/0.75mm hook to make the ‘big’ penguin and an ordinary sewing thread/0.4mm hook to make the ‘little’ one.

Fish: in grey, work in rounds, close each round with a slip stitch

  1. 6sc into magic ring, join with ss (6)
  2. ch1, *sc, inc* repeat around, join with ss (9)image2
  3. ch1, *sc, inc, sc* repeat around, join with ss (12)
  4. ch1, sc in each st around (12)
  5. ch1, sc in each st around (12)
