Body (Main Color) ​The body has a classic duck shape with a wide bottom and a slight curve/tilt towards the back to simulate a tail. ​Round 1: 6 sc into MR (6) ​Round 2: 6 inc (12) ​Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) ​Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) ​Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (30) ​Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (36) ​Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (42) ​Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (48) ​Round 9: (7 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (54) ​Round 10-15: 54 sc (6 rounds) ​Round 16: (7 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (48) ​Round 17: 48 sc ​Round 18: (6 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (42) ​Round 19: 42 sc ​Round 20: (5 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (36) ​Round 21: 36 sc ​Round 22: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (30) ​Round 23: (3 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (24) -> Stuff with fiberfill. ​Round 24: (2 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (18) -> Fasten off.

3. Beak (Pink Yarn) ​The beak has a wide, flat, and oval shape. It is worked around a foundation chain. ​Round 1: Chain 8. Starting from the 2nd chain from hook: 6 sc, 3 sc in the last chain (turn to work along the opposite side of the chain), 5 sc, 1 inc in the last stitch (16) ​Round 2: 1 inc, 5 sc, 3 inc, 5 sc, 2 inc (22) ​Round 3: 1 sc, 1 inc, 6 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, 1 inc, 6 sc, 1 inc, 2 sc (26) ​Round 4-5: 26 sc (2 rounds) ​We will fold it slightly to give it a natural curve when sewing. Add a very tiny amount of fiberfill inside if needed. ​4. Wings (Main Color - Make 2) ​The wings are pointed at the tips and naturally curved at the bottom. ​Round 1: 6 sc into MR (6) ​Round 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (9) ​Round 3: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (12) ​Round 4: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (15) ​Round 5: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 3 (18) ​Round 6-9: 18 sc (4 rounds) ​Round 10: (4 sc, 1 dec) * 3 (15) ​Round 11: (3 sc, 1 dec) * 3 (12) ​Do not stuff the wings. Flatten them and sew the opening closed with a few single crochets across. ​5. Feet and Legs (Pink Yarn - Make 2) ​To get the webbed-foot look, we start from the wide flat base. ​Round 1: 6 sc into MR (6) ​Round 2: 6 inc (12) ​Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) ​Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) ​Round 5-6: 24 sc (2 rounds) ​Round 7 (To make the webbed toes): Flatten the piece. To join the opposing stitches together and create the 3 webbed toes, repeat this sequence across the edge: (3 dc in the same stitch, chain 1, slip stitch in the next stitch). Repeat 3 times to get the 3 distinct webbed tips. ​Leg Extension: Attach pink yarn to the upper-back center of the finished foot tab. Pick up 9 sc in a small circle. Crochet 9 sc for 3 rounds to form the short leg tube that will connect to the body.

​6. Artist Beret (Beige/Vixen Yarn) ​The beret uses a classic French beret technique—expanding wide and then sharply narrowing down to hug the head. ​Round 1: 6 sc into MR (6) ​Round 2: 6 inc (12) ​Round 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (18) ​Round 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (24) ​Round 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (30) ​Round 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (36) ​Round 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (42) ​Round 8: (6 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (48) ​Round 9: (7 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (54) ​Round 10: (8 sc, 1 inc) * 6 (60) ​Round 11-13: 60 sc (3 rounds) ​Round 14 (The fold-in round): (8 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (54) ​Round 15: (7 sc, 1 dec) * 6 (48) ​Round 16 (Brim): BLO 48 sc. Work 1 more normal round of 48 sc, then fasten off. ​For the tiny stem on top of the beret: You can leave a long tail when starting your magic ring, pull it to the outside, chain 3, and do 2 sc back down to make a tiny stalk. ​7. Decorative Flowers and Scarf ​Small Flowers (Make 2): Inside a MR, repeat the following pattern 5 times to make 5 petals: (chain 2, 2 dc, chain 2, 1 slip stitch). Secure a contrasting thread color in the middle. ​Scarf: Chain 45–50 with the pink yarn. Work 1 row of hdc (half double crochet) all the way back across the chain to form a simple, stylish necktie. ​???? Assembly and Detailing Secrets ​To capture the high-end, professional look shown in file "1000103834.jpg", pay close attention to the assembly details: ​Head and Body: Before sewing, make sure the safety eyes are securely locked in place. When stitching the head to the body, don't place it perfectly upright. Tilt it slightly to the side to give the duck its signature cute, inquisitive gaze. Add extra fiberfill to the neck area right before closing to prevent the head from wobbling. ​Beak Placement: Position the beak right in the center, directly below the eyes. When stitching it down, shape it into a slight upward curve at the edges so it looks like it is smiling. ​The Speckle Details (Crucial Step): Using a single strand of black embroidery thread, sew small, random straight stitches (or tiny 'v' shapes) across the head, body, and wings. Space them out nicely so they look scattered, mimicking the pattern in file "1000103834.jpg". Delicately stitch thin, upward-flicking eyelashes and small eyebrows above the eyes. ​Feet and Wings: Sew the feet to the very bottom base of the body, positioning them forward so the duck can sit or stand balanced. Sew the wings to the sides of the body, letting them tilt slightly upward at the tips. ​Final Blush Layer: Use a cotton swab to lightly apply real makeup blush or pastel dust right beneath the eyes and next to the beak to achieve those soft, rosy cheeks. Tilt the beret stylishly on the head and secure it in place with a few hidden stitches.
