Step 8 of 10:

Pip’s Feet

You'll make two small Feet using blue yarn. Like the Nose, each Foot is just one round, fast to work up, and they'll give Pip her sweet little penguin stance!

Watch: Prefer to follow along? The video below shows how to make both of Pip's Feet, from start to finish.

Round

Start by making a magic ring (MR) with the blue yarn. Then crochet 8 single crochet (sc) into the center of the ring. Gently pull the yarn tail to draw the ring tightly closed.

Total stitches: 8

Important: Don't forget to place your stitch marker in the first stitch of all rounds!
