Boy Duck with Green Shirt and Egg
This was the last of the ducks I made using the "Easter Eggs" pattern from the April 2011 Crochet World.
I decided to play with the egg until I could actually get the duck inside the egg and found I had to use an M hook. As I mentioned in a previous post, the duck fit, but it started to lose its egg shape.
I chose green as that is one of this child's favorite colors. It did not necessarily have an Easter feel to it, but it he looked adorable when he was done.
I do not do well repeating projects, so I try to find a way to make each one a little different. This pattern only had two ducks. So in order to make the second boy different I went back to Crochet Village's Eggheads to find an alternate hat. I settled on the cowboy hat I used on the orange chick earlier. I love being able to use one pattern to change another.
