This collection combines the original cat, frog and penguin at the same four-growth-round head scale and shared three-slot palette. It contains twenty-one actual copies and 1,470 single-crochet outputs: 514 for the cat, 432 for the frog and 524 for the penguin. Eighteen attachment seams connect the three figures internally. No seam joins one animal to another. The common scale supports a coordinated display study without pretending every species has the same component geometry.
Keep labels attached through assembly
The cat has nine copies, including small ears and a long tube tail. The frog has six, including two compensated-bend hindlimbs and embroidered ringed eyes. The penguin has six, including short flippers, feet and actual within-round belly colorwork. Every part label and graph reference carries its animal prefix. Keep finished components in three labeled groups and compare the receiving round from the matching figure before sewing. A six-position arm from one inventory is not automatically interchangeable with a differently finished flipper.
Use three separate head expression maps
Each head has twenty-four widest positions and ten worked rounds, but its expression differs. The cat uses almond curves and whiskers, the frog ringed eyes and a broad smile, and the penguin outlined eyes with a diamond beak. The three face guides are alternatives for three different heads, not three expressions to overlay on one head. The shared neutral palette is a deliberate coordinated colorway; it does not promise the natural colors of every animal.
Questions and project organization
Why are there fourteen recipe entries but twenty-one pieces?
Several entries require paired copies. Count their quantities rather than treating each recipe heading as one finished component.
Can I export one face separately?
Use its specifically named companion JSON and restore it in the Face Placement Planner. Keep the complete collection file for the original parts and seams.
Why is the penguin belly dark in this set?
The shared second palette slot is dark. Recolor and save the collection if a pale belly is preferred, remembering that the same yarn role affects other listed features.
How do I find a mixed-up leg?
Check its prefixed component name, count sequence, flat-rim pairs and bend markers against the correct figure's inventory before attaching it.
Exact settings and the complete original construction
Open the Amigurumi Creature Pattern Generator, choose collection and four head growth rounds. The head and body proportions, small components, quantities and receiving references then follow this specific construction. Use smooth compatible yarns, a hook producing firm fabric, filling, removable markers, a tapestry needle and scissors. Download the complete creature project JSON before changing the scale or palette. These are counted design studies; no physical sample or certified finished size is claimed.
Work each component in its own continuous spiral. In US terms an increase makes two sc in one old base and sc2tog consumes two bases for one output; UK mode uses dc and dc2tog with the same budgets. Move the first-stitch marker and follow each part's local round numbering. Preserve open twelve-position necks until their matching seam, close flat rims into the listed opposing pairs and keep crochet totals separate from sewing pairs and embroidery landmarks. Pin all copies, check front and back, then reinforce the stated seams and conceal each tail. Read the amigurumi shaping guide and assess actual gauge, filling and attachment fit before relying on the result for a finished project.

This plan references 24 head positions; it does not make 24 new crochet stitches. The separate embroidery map refers only to this head's existing widest band; its head-color tint does not redraw any crochet colorwork patches. [24 head reference positions]
