This is Berry. I made him using this free pattern from Lion Brand and Cotton Tots yarn in blueberry, wonder white and sunshine.
He is small but super soft and snuggly. I sewed his eyes on a bit crooked, I tried to fix it but it didn't work out too well, I don't think it's too noticeable though. Instead of safety eyes, I used black cotton and made a french knot.
I made him for my sister who's pregnant with her first baby, a boy. She told me she wanted a penguin and then I spotted a picture of one in these colors on her computer. I hope she likes him, even with his crooked eyes!

Oh my gosh this is the sweetest thing in the whole wide world. I absolutely love it. I've not tried anything crochet yet... how long does it take to make?
ReplyDeleteHe is just adorable! Love his colors:)
ReplyDeletereally cute!! but that's the problem I have with those amigurumis: they look so sweet, but I don't enjoy making them, because of those teeny weeny arms and legs and ears and tails you have to crochet and then sew together (that's the worst part for me). I admire anyone who makes those cute little things, great job! And maybe I'll give this penguin a try. I always do... ;)
ReplyDeleteAww! He's too cute. I love the Lion Brand pattern of toys. They're all so cute. I made my Octie using their octopus pattern.

ReplyDeleteBerry is so cute! I'm sewing a little plush lamb as a baptism present and it's amazing how it seems to have a personality. Berry's got a very cuddly personality.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute!! I've got a little book of amigurumi but have yet to try it!! Is it difficult?
ReplyDeleteAhhh! He's so dang cute! I love the crooked eyes--it looks like he's winking at me. :)
ReplyDeleteSo adorably cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is so so so cute! My husband really loves penguins and the sight of this guy is almost enough to make me want to learn to crochet! Thanks for sharing! I came here from Tatertots & Jello
ReplyDeleteI love penguins and this is so adorable. I wish I knew how to do this. :( Always confuses me and that is a must have. My kids would love it.
