| Purple Penguins in Plush |
When penguins are handmade by crocheting them in yarn, they become a plush toy which can be any color you can imagine. Today we are going to look at a pair of penguins created in shades of purple who are currently living in the Etsy Shop of Coastal Crochet Crafts. In addition to liking shades of purple, I just discovered that Ultra Violet is the Pantone Color of the Year for 2018, so these purple penguins are definitely up-to-date! :)
