Crochet pattern — "Christmas Penguin" A pattern for a cheerful little Christmas Penguin. He pairs perfectly with the other Christmas Friends patterns in my shop — find the full collection under Christmas. The penguin makes a wonderful Christmas decoration for both adults and children. Info: Generally for my patterns, the hook size can be changed to fit your own gauge. When using a different hook size than specified, there may be size variations compared to my figures, but this is of little importance as long as you are consistent in your choices.
