Thank you! I didn't understand the video much, so this is what you wrote step by step! ¡Gracias! No entendí mucho el video, ¡así que esto es lo que escribio paso a paso! (i am Chilena) (soy chilena)
@@freySMR it just means how many stitches should be in the round. so like in round 1 there should be 6 stitches, in round 2 there would be 12, and so on...
You made one right? Can you please tell me how did you join the colours? I can’t understand how she is doing it and the way I know is not working for the pattern.
@@lovelysapphire295 if you couldn't understand then i would just do the songle crochet but don't pull the through for the LAST time do a slipknot with white add on your hook and pull it through and continue and do the same to switch back to blue
For anyone whose penguin seem to be leaning to one side or look flat, you should check your stitches regularly next time to see if they're even or not. If your stitches slowly become looser while doing increase rounds, the top of your penguin would be flat. If you tend to loosen on a side, your penguin will lean to the other side. The opposite is true for tightening (tighten one side, your penguin will lean to that side). Do not fix this by doing the opposite extreme on the next round. Example: you notice that on the last round, at the back of the penguin head, you have tighten the yarn too much so the penguin head seem to curve inside so you decide to loosen your yarn a bit this round on this round in hope of cancelling the curve. However, by doing so, you'll create a ripple. If you find that some stiches you've made are not even, just frog them and redo. Yeah, it's quite frustrating to frog such a big distance but this is the point of practice. It's pretty normal to frog while making a project. Plus, if you ever try designing something, you'd definitely have to frog very regularly. Also, by the nature of crochet, your stitches will tend to diagonally lend to the side of your crochet hand. To fix this, you can either practice (as this project is small enough for leaning not to be noticeable) or switch to “yarn under” in desperation.
By leaning do you mean how the stitches seem to go diagonally? When I try to make the penguin the white part keeps slightly shifting to the left and it's driving me crazy - I've undone and redone it like a million times checking that my stitches are even and that I'm not skipping stitches and everything but it's not improving at all. It wasn't a problem when I was just using one color because it's not too noticeable, but when I'm trying to color change it's super uneven and I don't know how to fix it. Do you have any suggestions?
@@ilanayousuf1376 here’s the thing: crochet stitches will always go diagonally. As long as the stitches are even, at this size, the lean isn’t really noticeable. However, if you can’t stand it, I’d suggest switching to the “yarn under” style, which should significantly decrease this problem.
Use the X stitch (yarn under) as well as stitching in front loops only the entire time. Might have to switch to a smaller crochet hook to avoid getting holes in between stitches
I gave 4 of these to my friends as Christmas presents two weeks ago and they loved them ! this was my first crochet project and it's very good for beginners
I don't get round 15, I even went back and double checked my stitch count on round 14.. when I follow the instructions for round 15 I get way more than 30 stitches. Can you explain?
@@emilywillbe I thought I was (that's where you go thru two front loops, yeah?) but maybe I was zoning out and just SC all of them. Imma rest my eyes and try again in a bit. Thank you for responding 💜
this is such a good crochet project to do and not to complicated, tho i would recommend putting what everything means in the description or as a pinned comment because i had to guess everything, don't ask why i didn't just search it up, i did do lots of wrong things while making this but i eventually made it and it turned and good, tho it was much bigger in size and messy in areas but that's fine cause i just started crocheting yesterday and this was my second project
Yesterday i saw the video so went to the market and brought all the required things then in the morning I started making it so it took me 3 hrs as I was working continuously at it and after I made it it was just amazing and I have named it lily as I made it with pink wool And I slowed down the video to 0.5x so that I could understand the steps Thanks for the tutorial
I just made one yesterday!! My first attempt was a fail because I accidentally skipped a few rounds and it turned into a ball 😭 But I got it and made a 5 cm cute lil penguin!! Thank you for the how to! 💜
I hope this is ok to post here, but for everyone who is saying they don't understand the pattern: this is the first amigurumi I decided to try as I'm just learning to crochet, before I decided to try an actual pattern I practiced a few basic stitches/concepts by watching MULTIPLE tutorial videos. But nothing really clicked til I watched this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DtqiCbYCWWE.html) which to me is really easy to follow along as she talks about what she's doing and explains the BASICS (all found in this penguin tutorial and other amigurumi tutorials as well) at a manageable speed (I didn't have to slow down any parts, just paused when I fell behind cause I'm really slow). In the video linked you're not learning how to make anything but learning the basics, which can be used to create doll heads, penguins, bees, etc. It was really helpful to me and gave me the confidence to try a pattern - and made this penguin tutorial completely doable and easy! Though I got stuck on round 15 (which is accidentally labeled round 11 btw y'all) that's only because I must've done something wrong with my decreases. I'm about to try again on that round. Also, the amigurumi basic video I linked doesn't cover color change but I highly recommend watching a few color change tutorials on youtube then coming back to this penguin video. I had never done a color change but haven't had any issues following this pattern after watching a few other basics/color change videos. Hope this helps a few others. While I was trying to figure out if round 11 was labeled incorrectly on the video (it is, it's supposed to be round 15) - as I was reading the pattern more so than watching the video unless I got stuck - I read through ALL the comments and I noticed a LOT of people frustrated at the lack of voice over and instructions. Which I like as it makes me focus more on pattern reading but I also had JUST finished practicing two "doll heads" with the video I linked, which literally covers every step except the color change. Good luck, y'all! And don't give up! Once it clicks it's really fun and rewarding!
I had many problems with making this, because concentrating is tough for me! I had a few tries which failed but in the end I made a unique little penguin and will try again!
Thankyou so much for the tutorial. It was so much fun to make and I just finished making one. This become my first crochet project as I'm still a beginner. It turns out super cute, I love it ❤🐧
The changing of colour twice in every round nearly drove me crazy😅. However, I'm so, so happy with the final result! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial💚
@@dreamcraftsbymilia2299 I've tried a couple of times, but every time the white trails off to the side and I can't figure out what's going wrong. Do you have any suggestions?
Would've been nice if you explained with you voice, because unlike everyone here, I'm a beginner and I suck. But these penguins are super cute! Nice content keep it up
I've made one with Himalaya dolphin yarn. The figurine is a little bit larger, but still sweet to look at. Thank you for sharing this pattern. Greetings from Poland :-)
Thank for taking the time to post this video. I suggest can please go slower, I know I can pause the video but still I can’t really see where the stitches need to be. You go off the camera so much 😔. It looks so cute and I would love to crochet waddle. Once again thanks 🐧💜
Holaaa estoy recién empezando en el crochet y me cuesta identificar el patrón, eres el único comentario que vi en Español si es que pudieras aclararmelo plssssss
Really cute pattern, but for next time you should consider using colors that do not look that similar, at least for me it was hard to understand whenever you switched colors
i enjoyed making mine so much, thank you for the educational video! however i think there were a few parts that could've been a bit confusing for total beginners, maybe a little description of those or some voiceover would help that:)
Me had been trying to learn crotchet for only 3 days and watches her crotchet in 2 holes at a time be like: *_how is this even a easy project I give up_*
Starry - don’t give up! It took me waaay too long to learn to crochet. After many hooks flung at walls and yarn thrown away in frustration, I can finally do some fun stuff. And, yes, start with a blanket first. Much easier. Good luck!
@@icepenpitchatornkul6902 I swear, the beak was the HARDEST part of the entire penguin 😭 I literally just ditched their method and ended up doing it my own way because I just couldn't do the 4 sc with their way... I ended up doing a 6 sc in 3 chains instead!
Nice tutorial! I making one for someone’s Christmas present! I hope they will like it, but I’m sure they will! And I’m also gonna make a cute little adoption box for it! I also made a dog, for another person, and I bet they will love it too! ❤️
@@krafty_hedgehog ye dats a gd point maybe she can hve the pattern listed down under the video, ik she pinned a comment cos dats quite helpful. altho a voice over wld hve certainly help in the initial stages but is still doable without a voice over just a little more complicated
if you have never done crocheting before than i would start with an easier crochet project woth someone talking throu it i am a pretty confident crocheter and i still messed up a little i think so start with an easier project and come back to this one
I managed to make one because I'm not a beginner and cute video but too fast for a beginner and it took me a while to realise you were using yarn as a stitch marker i thought you were changing colour I was so confused hahaha ... Got there in the end
@@janismarcos2516 holaa, si mal no recuerdo usé ojos de 10mm. La lana era de hilo de algodón semigrueso (8/6) y una aguja marca yily N°3. Espero te sirva, el tamaño final me quedo en 5.3cm x 6cm aprox
I just made it to the part to add the cotton… i dont have cotton so i have to wait till i get some. It is adorable so far except i messed up on the white part a little bit but this is my first crocheting project so i think i did very well for my first time😊
The tutorial was simple yet the white yarn or rather the change of both yarns was the hardest part for me since, mine came out uneven with the left white part. My right white part is thinner than my left part which makes me confused since Ive followed all the stitches count. Can anyone advice me in what did I did wrong, pleaseee?
I'm having the same issue. I looked into it and I believe the problem is that as the rounds progress, the stitches gradually shift to the left (or right, if you're left-handed). Here's a site I found that talks about this: stitchesnscraps.com/tutorial-why-continuous-rounds-shift/
You can check out other videos on how to make a magic circle, it can also be the type of yarn you’re using (softer yarn works better for me). Otherwise it’s really just practice! Goodluck
I have done 2 penguins!! But the white part is moved for one side a little bit, and Idk what happens because I followed all the video with all the details :( i dont know where i make the mistake
it could be the very first row of the white part, I messed mine up, the two white sc should be directly on top of the 4 sc white underneath it, mine came out uneven
El tejido de crochet siempre si inclina hacia un lado, quizás por la tensión. Para corregirlo hay que tejer 4 blancos, 1 azul, 5 blancos en la vuelta número 10.
