Tips and questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Bulky (5) yarn with a 4 mm hook makes a duck of about 23 cm (9 in). If your stitches come out tight or loose, try 4.5 or 5 mm. Soft chenille or velvet-style yarn gives a plush look.

Safety eyes can be a hazard for children under 3. For a baby gift, embroider the eyes with yarn or thread instead.

Mark the spots with two pins: the upper one at rnd 17 and the lower one at rnd 22. Put the lower pin two stitches diagonally toward the back for a slight slant, and sew the wing on with its curved side facing down.

Sew the feet to the body between rnds 24 and 29, and the tail to the back, centered on rnd 28.

It suits a baby shower, a birth, a christening or a first Easter.

Final Thoughts

I hope you have as much fun making little Edda as I did sharing this sweet project with you! Every handmade plush has its own personality, and it’s always lovely to see how a simple ball of yarn turns into something so special. Once your baby duck is finished, I’d love to know how yours turned out. Don’t forget to give Edda a cozy little spot to call home!
