This was my second attempt at the "Easter Eggs" pattern from the April 2011 Crochet World. Since there are two boys and a girl now it seemed appropriate to make the girl duck for the girl in the group. The duck pattern worked fine, but even moving up to an I hook the egg still was not large enough to hold the duck.
While the boy duck has a shirt and hat, the girl duck has a bib front dress that was fun to make. The original pattern called for foam balls, I decided to stuff my ducks. Knowing these were going to have some rough play, I thought the stuffing would last longer.
I also chose to use safety eyes instead of gluing wiggle eyes or sewing eyes to the project.
