Amigurumi Crochet Penguin Pattern: Cara and Milo

Amigurumi Crochet Penguins

Amigurumi Crochet Penguin Pattern is out now. Nice pale pink and baby blue, pink for a girl and blue for a boy or make them both.
It all started in December where a friend of mine ordered two penguins for her daughter. They had to look like baby benguins.  I started designing and this is what came out: here Debbie Bliss Railto DK and Drops Air were used. 2,5mm crochet hook, approx. 22 cm/8,7 inc

First ones, black and white photo

You may want to create different facial expressions by adding little eyebrows or eyelashes or just an eyelid... smaller, bigger, thicker or thinner, with black or brown. I did little surprised look eyebrows for Milo and shy look for Cara, just perfect!

Hand Painted Safety Eyes for Amigurumi Toys

Hand Painted Eyes for Amigurumi Creations

I have painted safety eyes for amigurumi toys for some years now, mostly to my amigurumi club members which I´m running. A small collection to celebrate 3rd year of coming together once in a month, except summer. Years of practice has taken a sort of form of art. Hope you like them as well. I´m glad I decided to run an amigurumi club. Interesting life, giving and receiving. 

My this year´s moto would be: If you like something then you should do what you are into or at least try to find ways to do what you are called into existence :) 

Have a creative day!
