Review summary
Most reviewers praise the easy-to-follow pattern and the finished penguins, which some give as gifts. One reviewer found the pattern too small and hard to work in black yarn, and said the photos needed to be better.
Summarized by AI
Made five penguins. Made a green scarf for one of the penguins and a red one for another. Placed them all in a snowflake organza bag and they look so cute. All ready for Christmas as a sweet little stocking-filler. Just as a bonus, the penguins actually stand really well. Lots of fun.
Straightforward pattern to follow made easier by not having to use different coloured yarns at the same time
Quick to knit using up scraps of wool. I placed one on a snowball which contained a chocolate orange instead of a robin
Too small and difficult to work in black yarn. Needed better quality photos.
Easy to read and made three
Have not yet used the knitting pattern - but looks very easy to follow
