Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Penny?
You need 5 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 25 g (40 yd / 35 m) of gray for the body, about 30 g (50 yd / 45 m) of white for the head and snout, about 10 g (20 yd / 15 m) of pink for the nose, feet and curly tail, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of black for the ears and about 5 g (10 yd / 10 m) of charcoal for the arms. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (12 mm).
How tall is Penny, and how many parts are there?
About 5.25 in (14 cm) tall. You crochet 8 parts (body, head, snout, nose, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 feet and curly tail), 88 rounds in all, then follow 11 assembly steps to put Penny together.
Is Penny a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Penny uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 8 parts and 88 rounds it takes longer than our easiest toys. For a very first toy, a shorter one from our easy amigurumi patterns for beginners is quicker.
Which languages are included?
You get four PDFs: English, French, German and Spanish. The English version uses US crochet terms, and the stitch page lists the UK names too.
How do I get the pattern?
Right after checkout you get an email with your download links. You can download your PDFs again from that email any time.
