st = stitch
sc = single crochet
2tog = 2 stitches together
ch1 = chain one
sl st = slip stitch
f/o = finish off
What I used to make the Duck:
worsted weight yarn medium #4
7.5mm safety eyes (8mm will work fine too)
4.00 or 4.25 mm hook
yarn needle
red felt marker for cheeks
Special notes: I worked in continuous rounds with a 4.00 mm hook and worsted weight yarn. The duck came out
to about 5.9 or so inches tall and I also used a 4.25 mm hook which gave me a slightly taller duck. Have any
questions or if you come across a mistake in the pattern please leave a message in the comment section below. It
helps to pin all pieces in place before sewing!

Head:

1) magic circle with 6st (6)

2) 2sc in each st (12)

8-10) 1sc in each st for 3 rows

16) 1sc in next 3st then 2tog (1sc in last 2st of the row) (30)
17) 1sc in next 3st then 2tog (24)
*put safety eyes in between the 10th and 11th row and have about 7st between them. Also make sure you are
putting the eyes in the right side of the head. Refer to the video if you are having difficulty. I find it also helps to
stuff the head and then decide where the eyes will go, push them in to make a little hole or dot the spot with a pen
then take out the stuffing and put in the eyes.

*stuff and shape as you stuff and making sure to stuff

those cheeks! Put your thumb in between the cheeks, this
will help you shape the face as you stuff. Don't worry
about completely stuffing the face now because you can
stuff more in as you continue to close up the hole. Refer to
video for help with stuffing.
18) 1sc in next 2st then 2tog (18)
19) 1sc in next st then 2tog (12)
20) 2tog 6 times (6)
f/o and hide the yarn tail inside the head. Check over the
face and make sure you are happy with the way it looks.
Using a stuffing stick, put more stuffing into the cheeks if
need be.

Sew the flat edge of the wing to the top of the 12th row. Count the rounds counting up from the magic circle you

*stuff the tail and lightly stuff the tip of the tail. You can bend the tip of the tail upwards after you sew the tail onto
the body. Sew the tail so the under side of the tail is level with the bottom of the body. This will help the Duck
stand up right.

sl st next st and f/o leaving a long tail for sewing. Fold
beak in half and sew in between the cheeks. You can
shape the beak more once it's in place. Refer to the video
if you have difficulty.
Cheeks:
I used red felt marker to paint the cheeks on
but you can use whatever will stain the yarn,
something that won't rub off.
