Today, we’re going to learn how to crochet this adorable little Penguin! Please grab your blue yarn and crochet hook, and let’s get started together!

Round 1

we’re going to crochet 6 single stitches. So, what is a single stitch? It’s the most fundamental technique in crochet! We’ll also guide you through it step by step in the video below!

Single Stitch

The pattern is written in US terminology and crocheted in the round

sc -- single crochet

So, in Round 1, crocheters love abbreviations, and in pattern language, that's written as:

sc x 6   (6)

Since the pattern is: sc --  single crochet,

and sc x 6  means 6 single stitches,

(6)  means the total stitches.

🌟 Okay! I see you already have a bit of knowledge. 😊

In this video, I’ll be showing you how to crochet single crochets. 🧶✨

So, let’s get started! 🎉

Please take out your blue yarn, and let’s embark on our crochet journey together! 💙🐧

Round 2

In this round, we’re going to learn about increases. Increases help us shape our crochet projects and are a basic technique.

increase Stitch

inc -- increase crochet

You’ll be happy to know that increases are built on single stitches! If you’ve mastered the single stitch, then increases will be a piece of cake for you! 🍰

Let me share a simple way to think about it:
When you make one single stitch into a stitch, that's called a single stitch. But if you make two single stitches in the same stitch, that’s an increase! 🎉 So, doubling your single stitch creates an increase!

Now that you’ve got it, let’s take a look at the pattern for this round and continue our crochet adventure! 🚀💖

Right side & Wrong side

 In crochet, the “Right Side” and “Wrong Side” refer to the two sides of a piece of crochet fabric. The right side is the side of the fabric that is typically seen or displayed, while the wrong side is the side that is usually hidden or not seen.

Follow the video to understand what is the right side and wrong side.

Round 13

In this round, we’re going to learn about decreasing stitches.

So, what is a decrease?

It’s when we combine 2 stitches into 1 stitch, and it’s a common technique in crochet. We often use increases and decreases to shape our crochet projects.

Decrease (dec) Stitch

Decreasing in Single Crochet, dec (This pattern is written in US terminology)

But don’t worry; decreasing is quite simple! So, let’s keep a positive mindset and continue learning together!

This is the pattern for this round：

 [2 sc, dec] x 8  (24)

• Do 2 ️single crochet stitches at first.

• Then a decrease crochet stitch in the one after that.

• Repeat that sequence of stitches 8 times. You'll have 24 V's once you've finished this round.
