My family and I are obsessed with penguins. My children are all adults now, but this year we still went to the zoo for my daughter's birthday, to see the penguins. Pingu pyjamas and T-shirts are still the most popular gifts I can give my kids. Don't tell them I told you, but both my boys are 6ft 4, and buying Pingu pyjamas is a challenge!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnyway, I realised that not enough of my penguin jumpers were sized from newborn, so that had to be fixed. Then I thought... this needs a hat too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWaddles is a penguin jumper (sweater) and matching aviator hat for babies and toddlers, in sizes from 0 months to 5 years. The penguin's face fills the front of the jumper, finished with a little knitted orange beak, and the hat has the same face above the brim, with ear flaps and long ties to keep it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe jumper is knitted flat in pieces and sewn together, and the penguin is simple two colour intarsia, so it's a lovely first colourwork project. The four smallest sizes have a buttoned shoulder, so it slips easily over a baby's head. The hat is knitted flat too, with the ear flaps joined in as you go, and the clear instructions are easy to follow from cast on to the last stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Jane Burns. I've been creating knitting and crochet patterns for babies and children for 18 years, so you can trust this one is as straightforward to follow as it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePattern details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKing Cole Merino Blend DK, 100% superwash wool, 104m (114yds) per 50g ball\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJumper: Yarn A Graphite (702) 3 (3: 3: 4: 5: 6) balls, Yarn B White (001) 1 ball and Yarn C Amber (3398) 1 ball.
