PENGUIN BLUE
Welcome to World of Crochet !
If a beginner firstly practice how to handle yarn and hook respectively !
POINT TO BE NOTED : Would highly recommend to use white yarn and not blue . Otherwise you would end up opening 2 Rounds done by us ! Moreover , don't worry about the quantity of the yarn , we are giving excess even if some gets wasted still you would be left with enough to complete your project !

- inc: increase stitch (2 sc in 1 stitch of the previous round)
