An explorer penguin soft toy is a plush toy designed like a penguin ready for an adventure, with a hat and explorers scarf. It combines the cute characteristics of a penguin with the excitement of exploration. He is ready for an adventure in the Antarctic ocean and on the ice with other penguins, on the way to the South Pole.

Children are drawn to explorer penguin toys because they combine the natural charm of animals with the thrill of adventure. Penguins are already appealing due to their playful nature and unique appearance. Adding explorer gear sparks imagination about journeys and discoveries.

This toy is special because it represents curiosity and the joy of exploring the unknown. It encourages kids to learn about new places and the importance of adventure in our lives.

We love them so much because they symbolize bravery and discovery. They remind us of the excitement of exploring new places, even in our own imagination. They represent the adventurous spirit in all of us.

Knitting an explorer penguin allows for a personal touch in creating a companion for adventures. It’s a way to craft a unique toy that carries a sense of adventure and exploration. Knitting it yourself adds a special value, making it not just a toy, but a keepsake filled with love and imagination.

Pattern Instructions and Help

What About Knitting Needles?

We use either 3mm(UK 11, US 3) needles with Double Knitting yarn.If you use chunky / bulky then 4.5mm single pointed knitting needles(UK 7, US 7) are what we use.

Is That Right? It Seems Too Small

If you look at a ball band or have knitted garments before, you will know the recommended size is for larger needles.We do this so when you knit the pieces the knitting stays dense and the toy stuffing doesn't show through.

Using Your Pattern

Do You Sell Yarn, Needles or Haberdashery?

All we do is create gorgeous toy knitting patterns.We don't sell anything else.This makes us specialists at what we do.

This also means that you are free to buy your haberdashery from your local yarn shop or any other place that you like.

Do I Need To Go And Buy More Yarn?

No. (Well, not unless you want to!) Just use up some of your stash. The patterns don't use any brand in particular. If you keep the yarn a consistent thickness for all colours and you can pretty much use what you want.

We tend to use acrylic yarn for our toys as the thickness is consistent and colours are vibrant.

We only use 2 thicknesses of yarn for all patterns. Either Double Knitting (Light Worsted, 8ply, No.3, Approx 300m/100g) or Chunky (Bulky, 16ply, No.5, Approx 150m/100g) See the listing to see which one we used.

You know that you will be able to use the pattern in future too when your stash changes. Don't be afraid to experiment with fancy yarns and thicknesses.
