Hello wonderful people of Ribblr
So I got this crochet kit for Christmas and it’s soon cute but they didn’t give me enough gray yarn for the penguin
Like they didn’t even give enough yarn for the body
I ended halfway of rnd 20 here’s what the patterns says
Anyways has anybody had this problem?

Oh No! It’s to cute to not have enough yarn. When i get kits from Joan’s i never have enough yarn. So i just have to find a color close enough to match it.

Maybe use a tighter tension
That uses up less yarn

Smaller hook size might also help

The bad thing is from what I can tell from the photo their tension already looks really tight

Maybe you could attach a different color of yarn when you get home and make it look like he has a little shirt or pants?

Did the kit not come with a hook? I’ve never encountered this problem before, but that’ because I typically find kits on amazon- cheaper, better value, and typically pretty good.
