Hi, can you please help me with the wing R3, 3 increases + 12 stitches on previous row = 15 ? Am I reading this wrong. Almost done can’t wait to assemble. Thank you
Hi Nicole, im also read same as you.
If you has found the pattern?
Could you please share the pattern with me? Thank you
It is as exactly as it is written..Increase in first stitch (2), SC in nxt stitch (1), Increase in 3rd Stitch (2), SC in 4th Stitch (1) Increase in 5th stitch (2) and SC in the remaining 7 stitches (7) = (15)
Can someone explain to me how inc, 1 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc, 7 sc =14 stitches in round 3 of the wing if I did my calculations right it would = 15 am I missing something
que hermoso proyecto
Is the pattern available in french?
Hi Katherina,
it was very cute to crochet this little penguins…. Thank you so much for the free pattern
For the feet, it goes from row 11 to row 13. Doesn’t mention a row 12 so I only did 1w rows thinking it is a mistake and should say 12 not 13. Also on the decrease rows it says to do 1 or 2 sc, then a dec. repeat to end of row. It does not work out with the right number stitches so just improvised. No reply really needed, just letting you know the inconsistencies.
Todo muy claro, gracias por compartir tus hermosos trabajos.
Mahalo for sharing your pattern for the penguin. I made the blue one and made a Lovey blanket using just your head and arms pattern. My niece loved them both. Penguins are her favorites.
There are no instructions for putting penguin together
