Lesson 4 today! It’s time for the last parts of Puck the Penguin. We will learn how to make chain stitches so we can make oval shapes. Whoop whoop! excited much? Haha I sure am :)
These are all the lessons in this series:
- Materials: Here you can find all the materials you need to start with your first crochet lesson.
- Lesson 1: Making your first stitches (called ‘single crochet’) in a magic loop. Really magical I promise ;)
- Lesson 2: You will learn about eyes, making decreases, stuffing and closing your amigurumi.
- Lesson 3: Time for tiny parts, they are fiddly, but I’m sure you can do it!
- Lesson 4: Oval shapes, you will learn to make ‘chain stitches’ and crochet around them.
- Lesson 5: Finally you will assemble your amigurumi like a pro.
The pattern for today:
Belly
Make 6 chain stitches. Crochet around this row of chain stitches, start from the second chain stitch from your hook. Check the video for details.
R1: {4 sc, 1 x inc.} x 2 (12)
R2: {1 sc, 1 x inc.} x 6 (18)
R3: {2 sc, 1 x inc.} x 6 (24)
Fasten off and leave a tail to sew the belly to the body tomorrow.
Beak
Make 4 chain stitches. Crochet around this row of chain stitches, start from the second chain stitch from your hook.

That’s it already! Did you manage to make the chain stitches? Easy peasy right? ;) If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below!

My sister and I have had so much fun following your videos! We both have all of our penguin parts done and are anxiously awaiting the final video. We both have learned how to crochet from these videos and it was something fun for us to do together, thanks for sharing! I’ve also just finished your Walter the Whale pattern and he is so cute! I will post him to Instagram soon. I hope to see more Sugaridoodle patterns soon, I love them so much. I think I might try Hairy Harry next.
