Garden Duck

Finished Size: 15cm

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. The duck's legs contain skewers for enhanced stability and support. To maintain its shape, the hat features lightweight wire inserted into the brim. Both the bouquet and the planter flowers are made with lightweight wire and artificial flower tips. Feel free to improvise or omit any elements as you wish.

The project calls for small amounts of DK (8-ply) yarn for the body and 4-ply (fingering) yarn for the outfits. Feel free to use your stash.

The knitting skills required are the basic knit and purl, however, take time and care when you are assembling the components.
