How cute to add to a gift bag for the new mommy. Or, to add to your already made (by you!) baby blanket and layette. It's such a simple idea but one I have not seen before. I wonder if I could add a small rattle securely to the inside? I like the 100% cotton for this versus a super saver yarn.

This looks simple, & also very cute. Since it can be made in a variety of colors, it would be appropriate for a boy or girl!

I prefer the crocheted baby duck but without the ribbon because ribbons can be a swallowing hazard.

I absolutely love duckies for babies, and this one is perfect and baby friendly. I can't wait to stitch this up for my upcoming 1st grandchild!

The instructions seem to be clear and I am partial to rubber duckies because my daughter (20) loves them, I plan to make a whole flock of them. :)

I am brand new at crocheting and this is my first project since learning some of the basic stitches in crochet. In trying to follow the directions in the pattern, the last part of the 1st row ( turn, 10 sc) confused me. Also "2 sc in first sc" and "2 sc in last sc" in 2nd row. Is this different from 2 sc in the first st (stitch)? How is the row under Head ( Ch 1, 2 sc in first st. 1 sc in each sc to last st. 2 sc in last st. 10 sc. Turn) interpreted? Help would be appreciated.

This duck is just too cute!!! It is also very easy to do. My brother's wife is expecting a boy and we made these ducks as favors for her shower. They were a huge hit. We made blue ducks with god trim to represent the Pittsburgh Panthers school colors because were big fans.

I made this for our granddaughters black lab for Easter. I used a size F hook and the lily yarn. I stuffed it and put in squeakers that I get at the pet store. Dog just loves it.
