Today we'll learn how to crochet this cute little penguin! Please grab your dark grey/blue and white yarn and your crochet hook, and let's get started together!

Round 1

Single Stitch

Before learning the single stitch.We need to know some crochet patterns.This pattern is written in US terminology and crocheted in the round

sc --  single crochet

Crochet 5 single stitches in Round 1. Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

sc x 5   (5)

Since the pattern is: sc --  single crochet,

and sc x 5  means 5 single stitches,

(5)  means the total stitches.

If you’ve got the blue penguin kit, grab the blue yarn to start crocheting! 🐧💙 If you’re working on the grey penguin, go ahead and take out the dark grey yarn. 🐧🩶 Happy crocheting! 🧶😊

Wow！ You've done the hardest round on the previous page,
What‘s proving you have a talent for crocheting?
All you need to do is keep patient!

Round 2

In this round, we need to learn the increase stitch.

Increases in stitches

 An increase stitch is making two single stitches in the same hole, that is all.

Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

inc x 5   (10)

Since 1 increase stitch = 2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch,

1 increase stitch counts as 2 stitches.

This means the pattern could've also been written like this:

[2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch] x 5

And

2 stitches x 5 = 10 total stitches

OK, I know you already understand a little bit.

Now, let go on!

Good job! You've learned to crochet the single stitch and increase stitch.

Now this round will be easy for U,

Round 3

[sc, inc] x 5 (15)

Or with a lot more words:
