The end is truly near. I can feel it. I'm now making them in pairs. Only two
more and the ducklings will be done, with just Mrs. Mallard to complete the set
for
Make Way for Ducklings
and I think I'll make the deadline with room to spare.
The pattern for all the ducks in the set can be found in
Zoomigurumi 7I plan to adapt Mr. Mallard's pattern to make Mrs. Mallard.
If you need a duck pattern these do work up remarkably quickly. I know ducks are
often popular at Easter. The ducklings are made with sport yarn and a D hook to
get them to this size. I tried worsted weight yarn but the first one I made was
too too big for a set of 8. I do plan on using him as an Easter decoration.
One thing I do love about this design is other than the beak and the wings it is
all one piece so it limits the amount of sewing I have to do later. This is a
huge consideration when you are making 8 ducklings and 2 adults.
