The pattern is easy to make into a penguin. Here are some things to change:
1. To make the color change on the head to be more of a point, change R6 to this:
Sc 8, change to white yarn, sc in next 8 sts. Change to purple yarn, sc in next st. change to white yarn, sc in next 8 sts. Change to purple yarn, sc in 7 sts. (24 sts)
2. Make a rounder beak such as 6-7 stitches into a magic ring or using a small piece of felt.
3. Omit the ears.
4. Add white to the front of the body by switching to white yarn in the middle of the rounds for about 4-6 stitches (depends on how narrow the body is). As you get to the last rounds, do one less white stitch on each side to taper it.
