Frequently asked questions
How is the swim ring made?
Crochet a 12-sc tube for 46 rounds, then sew the last round to round 2 to close it into a donut. The little duck head on the ring is a separate ball with its own beak.
How are the webbed feet made?
Five sc in a magic ring, then (ch 3, sl st) three times — each chain loop is one webbed toe.
What about the sunglasses?
A single ch-6 row worked with sc, dc and chain picots forms both lenses; sew it across the face above the beak.
