Feb 2021 Update: I'm no longer selling punch needle kits, but my friends over at Mad Matters (a local small-business) are making this kit for me! Shop the penguin kit here.
New in the shop this month is my sweet punch needle penguin pair! This penguin was one of the very first punch needle designs I shared on Instagram back in 2018 and I'm so excited that it's finally available for others to create.
This pattern is perfect for beginners, and gives you the chance to practice making flat stitches, loop stitches (for that fuzzy tummy texture!), blending yarns, and adding fine facial details. The pattern and instructions are available as an instant PDF download, or buy a wall-hanging kit (which includes the PDF pattern and a copy of my ebook) and have all the supplies shipped to you.
You can also use this pattern to make individual penguin designs, like the one I turned into a penguin stuffy. Learn more about turning your punch needle creations into pillows and stuffies here.
Find the penguin pattern in my shop and the wall-hanging kit here. New to punch needle? Check out this tutorial on how to punch needle and find all the answers to your punch needle questions here. Happy crafting!

To kick off 2020, I’m sharing my punch needle evergreen pattern with you! When you're done stitching your tree you can turn it into a stuffy like I did, or fill in the background and turn it into a wall-hanging. This beginner pattern is great for using up yarn scraps, and is a fun addition to your winter decor now that the holidays are over.
Back in August, an editor at the U.K. magazine Mollie Makes emailed me to ask if I would be interested in designing and making a trio of punch needle animal stuffies for their December 2019 cover. I’ll admit I was intimidated- the deadline was tight considering my kids were still home with me for summer break, and I had more than a bit of performance anxiety (what if they’re just “meh” about the final product?).
