These little cuties are a tribute to a close friend and to a time of my life that is incredibly important to me. I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ and a friend, and I each had a penguin plush that was named Hugsy and Hugset and I wanted to make a crocheted version of them. I think they turned out well!
