Duck!
Isn’t he cute?
I am more of a knit in the round girl, so my husband did the seaming and stuffing. I think he did a great job. Oh and the eyes too! If I knit this again ( and I know I will be for my daughter) I will try to modify the pattern to do most of it in the round. It was too much of a pain to knit flat and then seam. I did knit the legs in the round.
I hope that he raises a bunch of money for my daughter’s school and that he goes to a loving home. I really do love how he turned out. I used Rowan Purelife in Yellowwood and Lipstick Tree. He is stuffed with a cotton/bamboo blend.
I want one! He’s sooooo cute
I love all the pictures, I am quite impressed I must say
I wish I could knit!
OH I love your duck… Please when you knit it in the round, will you write down your own directions so that I can copy him. I avoid seam toys. I did the One Seam Teddy bear once and he was adorable. Have you seenhim?
I absolutely will Kathy.
I will have to find that teddy bear pattern. I loved making the duck and want to do more toys, but the seaming is a big turn off.
