Penguin Toy & Chocolate Orange Cover Knitting Pattern PDF Christmas Decoration DK

Available in English only
Create an adorable knitted penguin in two different versions with this festive DK knitting pattern.

The penguin features a shaped grey-and-white body and head, a white face and tummy, central grey forehead panel, separate grey wings, yellow feet and a softly stuffed yellow beak.

A garter-stitch scarf and matching padded earmuffs complete the winter design. The original pattern uses red accessories, but these can easily be changed to sage green, dusty rose, deep teal or any colour that suits your chosen theme.
