The Penguin pattern is worked in stranded-style colorwork. Carry the color not in use loosely across the wrong side of the work. The Throw is knit in the round with a steek. The steek is cut open, then the throw is lined with fleece fabric to cover the back side. Be sure to choose polyester fleece which will not ravel when cut, does not need to have the edges turned under, and has an elasticity that complements the knitted fabric.
