Crochet pattern for adorable fluffy ducklings! Designed to be realistic in all their natural cuteness, these make a great addition to your seasons table, perfect spring and Easter decorations, lovely twig tree ornaments or even shocking toys for a cat! ★ ---What's Included --- ★ * 20-page crochet pattern (digital download). With this pattern you can make ducklings any size of your choice, either in a single colour or with the typical markings of a mallard duckling. This pattern is available in both UK and US crochet terminology, presented in two entirely separate documents for maximum clarity. Both will be available to you after purchase - just choose whichever you prefer to use. All my patterns come with my full support if you have any questions. *Important feature of my crochet patterns* My crochet patterns include BOTH a detailed 'tutorial-style' set of instructions with colour photos AND a succinct unillustrated pattern using standard crochet notation. The document is structured so that the succinct version, with an area for your own notes, is on a single sheet, making it easy for quick reference on the move. ★ ---What You Will Need --- ★ For an approximately 10cm or 4inch mallard duckling you will need double-knitting (DK, light worsted weight, Category 3) yarn in the following quantities: * 21m (23yds) of brown * 15m (17yds) of gold/yellow For a single-colour duckling you will need approximately 32m (35yds) of yellow or your chosen colour. Clear advice is included in the pattern about the best yarn choices for this project. You do not need to source a fluffy yarn, most ordinary wool yarns will work just fine. The pattern explains the trick to making your duckling fluffy! You will also need: * double-knitting (DK, light worsted weight, Category 3) yarn in dark grey/taupe or orange for the beak (1m - 1yd) and feet (3m - 3.5yds) * a 3.5mm (E-4) crochet hook * a small amount of black yarn or stranded embroidery cotton for the eye details. * a small quantity of stuffing material (details are given in the pattern) * a yarn needle * sharp scissors ★ ---How Easy is this Pattern? --- ★ 🟨 Some aspects of this pattern make it a challenging project, including the small scale and frequent colour changes, so it is best suited to a confident or intermediate crocheter. The pattern is illustrated with detailed photographs and contains extra tips and explanations to make everything as clear as possible. All my patterns come with my full e-mail support if you have any questions. I am a real person and I'd love to hear from you and see pictures of your finished ducklings! ★ --- More Duckling Options --- ★ I also sell a complete, eco-friendly kit to make making this duckling even easier, or for giving as a gift.
