SKIPPER ENGLISH PATTERN

Skipper

Cute and Cuddly Boys!

Ok. I am a HUGE Penguins of Madagascar fan. These guys I'm doing for me mostly... I actually purchased the yarn to make all four of them. This is of course only Skipper, but the other three will be following in the next couple of weeks. (Give me at least a week between, maybe more ... I can't work too much or I'll blow out my wrists again and I don't want to do that) The pattern might seem a little strange when you first read it through, but just take it one part at a time. The beak particularly might give you fits, but just keep at it... it took me a while to get it too, but the work is worth it :D

If you find any problems in the pattern, or if you just get totally confuzzled, let me know and I'll do my best to help you out!

MATERIALS:

WW yarn in black and white, with smaller amount in a medium orange G Hook

Fiberfill

Sewing thread and needle

15 mm Googly Eyes (or similar eyes of your choice) NOTES:

Gauge is not important for this item

Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches that should be in that round or row.

This pattern has some 'different' shaping. It's helpful if you read through each section before you begin, to try and get a feel for how the shaping is going to progress. Remember that most often, the final shape of the piece won't be noticeable until the stuffing process is done.
