Glue or sew a strong magnet to the back. You can hide it under a small crocheted circle or stitch it directly to the inside of the body before final stuffing.

💡 Color Change Tip:
When changing colors (e.g., switching from gray to white on the body), pull the new yarn through the last two loops of the previous stitch. Continue crocheting in the new color—this creates a seamless transition.

✂️ Finishing Touches

  • Weave in all yarn ends
  • Position and sew facial features carefully for symmetrical look
  • Adjust stuffing if needed to keep the body firm and rounded

🎨 Customization Ideas

  • Use pastel colors for a softer look
  • Add a scarf or bowtie for seasonal charm
  • Turn into a keychain instead of a magnet!

This amigurumi penguin magnet is a delightful project perfect for gifting or adding a handmade touch to your fridge. Let it keep you company while reminding you of the cozy joy of crochet! 🧊🐧🧷
