Cheer up your sofa with a knitted penguin cushion to cuddle.  Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the penguin is knitted in aran weight alpaca/wool blend yarns, and worked flat on single pointed needles (not in the round).  This pattern incorporates intarsia colour-work to knit the tummy panel.
