Woolly Penguins

We are in love with Marie Mayhew's felting patterns. We've had so much fun making these Woolly Penguins and Snowmen! 
. 
Get creative with accessories, here my mom made little ear muffs and a scarf with pom poms!

The Woolly Snowman pattern includes the corn-cob pipe, nose and instructions to make a top hat. We added a little smoke too!

We made our little penguin chicks using a skein of  Cascade 220 in gray, doubled with a skein of  Fresco in cream for the body and a skein of Cascade 220 in black for the head, tail and feet.  


Both patterns are knit in the round on big needles.  I knit my penguin in one evening and it took about a day to dry after felted.   






















































































These would make great gifts!


Come in and check out some of her other felting patterns.  The gnomes are especially adorable.
