LITTLE SKIPPER

This is a miniature rendering of Skipper from Penguins of Madagascar from DreamWorks.  I had used a pattern by Wolfdreamer (wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2011/06/skipper.html) to make my daughter Skipper.  My youngest daughter asked me to make a smaller version of the whole team of Penguins of Madagascar.  Here is the pattern that I came up with.
