Mistä noita granulaattirakeita voi ostaa?
Niitä löytyy askartelukaupoista ja nukke- ja nallemateriaaleja myyvistä kaupoista. Itse olen ostanut niitä Helsingin Kampintorilla sijaitsevasta Hobby Pointista, mutta olen nähnyt niitä myytävän verkkokaupoissakin, esimerkiksi tuolla:

(En ole itse tilannut tuosta kaupasta, mutta tuon näköistä tavaraa granulaattirakeet siis ovat.)

I love this little penguin. His eyes are what drew me to him. This will be my first amigurmi although I have crocheted for years. My grandson loves penguins. If I can figure out how to send a picture when I finish I will. I really like your art.
Vicki Luker, thank you and good luck with your first amigurumi! You can always ask for more instructions if there’s something in the pattern that you don’t understand. I will wait for your picture. :)
Hi, I have finished the 7 rounds (circle), and did 8 more rounds of sc, trying to figure out now if I am to work the rest in rows, turning at each ean of row??? Your pattern says rds(rounds), but if I keep going in rounds I am just going to end up with a ball. Please let me know.
Thanks!!
Kelly
Hi Kelly, and thank you for your question!
Just keep going straight forward in rounds, a ball is just what you need! That way you can create three-dimensional shapes without having to crochet several pieces and sew them together. Look for example at the head of the penguin in the picture, it’s almost a round ball with an open end (which you will attach to the body).
Please let me know if this answer was helpful, or if you need more instructions.
i would really like to crochet this penguin, however I am having trouble with the instructions. working in the MC i am not getting the right amount of sc??
Hi Amanda, and thank you for visiting my site! Could you give me a bit more information about your problem – which part are you trying to make and what do you mean by “MC”?
ok so i made the Magic loop and was able to continue through step 1, however in rnd 2 when you say 1 sc, 2 sc in next sc do you mean to first do 1 sc in the first sc and then do 2 sc in the next sc and continue around? I am asking because i keep coming up with the wrong count. pls help I really want to make this. thanks
pls see below
Make a magic loop, sc 6. Pull loop closed.
rnd 1: 2 sc in each sc around = 12 sts
rnd 2: 1 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around = 18 sts
rnd 3: 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around = 24 sts
rnd 4: 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around = 30 sts
rnd 5: 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around = 36 sts
rnd 6: 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around = 42 sts
rnd 7: 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around = 48 sts
btw could you reply to my email address above otherwise it takes me longer to look at your post. or you could send me a heads up and i will look at it. thanks again
