Not directly related to the holidays but they do live in the snow so many people think of them – Penguins! Such a cute animal and deserves the love this holiday seasonn with its own ornament!
To create this ornament, we are using Lion Brand Yarn’s Basic Stitch Yarn along with all the other materials you may need to hang it up in your tree! All the materials you will need can be found at your local JOANN stores, online and offline. Can’t wait to see how you decorate your homes using JOANN!
I’ve teamed up with JOANN to bring you an ornament collection this season! This is just one of the three – You can head HERE to find the other two as well! JOANN is a place to bring in all the magic of the holidays when it comes to crafting and using yarn is no exception.

Assembly
- Putting the white body into black fur, sew the triangle part on first. Following along, sew on the rest of the head!
- Once that is attached, you can now add on the beak.
- For the final step, embroider the face one with the eyes and cheeks! (Feel free to change it up or even use safety eyes if you wish!)
