You'll notice I've only made the "boy" version of this duck. Most of them were for people with babies/baby showers and honestly the duck with the bow tie is just more "gender neutral" than the "girl" duck. I've never had the chance to make the pair although I would love to have a set just for me!!!
Notes about this pattern:
The pattern doesn't say to do this, but I tacked the tops of the feet to the duck's body. The pattern has them hanging, but I thought they looked like of weird hanging and I wanted him to be always sitting, so I sewed them on with one stitch in the middle. I guess it's all about personal preference, I like him better this way!
As for the hair, the author of the pattern suggests that you first crochet the hair, and then sew it on. To skip the sewing step, I just inserted my hook in about the middle of the duck's head, pulled up some yarn and crocheted right from the head. I found it made the hair more secure (and also let me skip the sewing part, which, let's be honest, is the WORST PART).
There are lots of instructions within this pattern, so be sure to read them all!!
I just can't stress enough how obsessed I am with this duck. I can't stop looking at him. He is SO FUN to make just because watching him come together in all his cuteness is almost too much for me to handle. (I have a lot of feelings about this duck).
