Little Snowman & Little Penguin — 2-in-1 Crochet Pattern

Two winter patterns in one PDF. A plump chenille snowman in a bobble hat and scarf, and a tiny round penguin with a red scarf — the pair that makes a whole windowsill look like Christmas.

• ⛄ Little Snowman — 16 cm (6¼") dressed. Worked in soft chenille so he comes out squishy and cloud-like, with a carrot nose, embroidered smile and stick arms, and bead or rhinestone buttons.
• 🐧 Little Penguin — 9 cm (3½") tall. A small round penguin in DK acrylic with a colour-worked white face, a red scarf and a tiny Santa hat.

Make one of each, or make a whole flock. They work as shelf decorations, tree ornaments, stocking fillers and market bestsellers — small enough that you can finish one in an evening.

Why You'll Love This Pattern:

• Two designs, one download — a full pattern for each, not a variation of the same toy.
• Head and body in one piece — both toys are worked from the top of the head straight down through the body. No neck seam, no wobbling head.
• Four stitches — magic ring, single crochet, increase, decrease. That is the whole list for both patterns.
• Every round has its stitch count in brackets, with repeats written clearly.
• The penguin's face is explained properly — rounds 9–14 change colour mid-round to shape the white face, and the pattern spells out exactly how many stitches in each colour and how to carry the yarn.
• Perfect chenille project — small pieces mean the fluffy yarn never gets unmanageable, and the stitches are large enough to see.
• Genuinely beginner-friendly — if you have made one amigurumi ball, you can make both of these.
