To close the piece by working through both layers while shaping the webbed toes: repeat the sequence (ch 1, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, ch 1, slip stitch into the next stitch) across to form 3 distinct toe ridges. ​Leg Tube: ​Join orange yarn to the top-back center of the foot base, picking up stitches to create a circle of 10 sc. ​Rounds 1-18: 10 sc (18 rounds for the leg length). Insert a sturdy wire inside. ​4.

6. Long Nightcap Beanie (Black & White Striped) ​The beanie in the image is quite long with a pom-pom at the end. Change colors every 2 rounds. ​With Orange Yarn (Pom-pom): 6 sc in MR -> 12 sc -> 18 sc -> 3 rounds of 18 sc -> decrease back down to close, stuffing it along the way. ​Switch to Black Yarn from the tip of the pom-pom: ​Rounds 1-5: 6 sc (6) ​Round 6: (1 sc, 1 inc)*3 (9) ​Rounds 7-11: 9 sc ​Round 12: (2 sc, 1 inc)*3 (12) ​Rounds 13-17: 12 sc ​Round 18: (3 sc, 1 inc)*3 (15) ​Continue with this pattern (increasing by 3 stitches every 5 rounds) until you reach the circumference of the head (48 sc) to create a long cone shape. Crochet the final 5 rounds straight at 48 sc, fit it onto the head so it drapes over to the side, and sew it down. ​???? Accessories ​Giant Daisy ​Flower Center (Yellow Yarn): 6 sc in MR -> 12 sc -> 18 sc -> 24 sc -> 30 sc -> 36 sc. Crochet 3 rounds straight, stuff with fiberfill, and decrease to close. ​White Petals (Make 8): 6 sc in MR -> 12 sc -> 18 sc -> 24 sc. Crochet 6 rounds straight. Then, decrease using (2 sc, 1 dec) until closed. Sew the 8 petals evenly around the yellow center. ​Stem (Green Yarn): Insert a long piece of wire inside. Make 8 sc in a MR and crochet in a tube shape for the length of the stem (approx. 30-35 rounds). Attach it to the flower and secure it into the duck's hand. ​Necktie (Yellow & White Yarn) ​Using yellow yarn, chain 4 and work in flat rows. Increase at the edges of each row until you have 8 stitches (creating a pointed triangle tip), then work straight, and gradually decrease as you reach the collar to shape a tie. Embroider diagonal white stripes onto it. ​???? Assembly and Shaping Guidelines ​Wire Safety: Always fold the exposed wire tips with pliers and wrap them with electrical tape so they don't poke through the stitches. ​Neck and Body Connection: Align the 18 stitches of the neck with the 18 stitches of the body opening. Use a mattress stitch for an invisible seam. Make sure the body and neck wires lock or overlap securely inside before sewing. ​Facial Details: Once the eyes are secured, use a thin black thread to embroider simple, expressive eyebrows above them. Place the glasses snugly over the beak and secure them with a hidden stitch or a drop of fabric glue. ​Shorts Trim: To replicate the folded cuff edge on the white shorts seen in 1000104715.jpg, join white yarn to the FLO (front loops only) of the pants line and work a round of ruffles (e.g., 2 dc in each stitch).
