Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with these patterns to create unique variations! For the basic duck, try using pastel colors like mint green or lavender for a kawaii aesthetic, or add a tiny bow between the eyes for extra cuteness. The mallard pattern is perfect for exploring realistic color combinations—I've even made versions with sparkly yarn for the green head section that catches the light beautifully.

For the rooster, I enjoy playing with the comb size by adding extra repeats or making it smaller for a hen variation. You could also create a whole barnyard family by scaling the patterns up or down with different yarn weights. I've made tiny versions as keychains using fingering weight yarn and a 2mm hook—they're absolutely adorable!

Consider adding embroidered details like wing feathers using a contrasting color, or create textured feathers on the rooster by working some rounds in the back loops only. For gifts, I sometimes add a loop at the top so they can hang as ornaments. The possibilities are endless when you let your creativity flow with these versatile base patterns!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff before closing rounds 17-19 which makes it impossible to fill properly later on ✗ Not maintaining consistent tension when switching colors resulting in visible gaps between the color changes ✗ Placing safety eyes too close together or too far apart affecting the character's expression and overall appearance ✗ Skipping the slip stitches when attaching legs causing them to be unstable and poorly positioned on body

Assembly Instructions

  • For the ducks: After completing the body and head in one piece, attach the legs by crocheting 2 slip stitches into the body at the designated position.
  • Create the beak (speculum) by working directly into the stitches between rows 8 and 9, positioned between the safety eyes.
  • Secure safety eyes between rows 7-8 with 4 stitches of space between them before stuffing the head portion.
  • For the rooster: Attach wings to the body at row 9 by crocheting through the wing stitches as you work the body round.
  • Add the rooster's comb by working from row 17 to row 18, creating the characteristic peaks with chain and double crochet stitches.
  • Embroider the rooster's beak at row 13 using yellow yarn to create three lines for a realistic appearance.
  • Use hot glue to reinforce eye placement if needed for extra security on all three birds.

Important Notes

  • 💡The no-sew technique requires careful attention to where pieces attach so mark positions with stitch markers before working
  • 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout especially during color changes to avoid gaps in the mallard duck pattern
  • 💡Stuff firmly before closing but leave enough room to comfortably complete the final decrease rounds
  • 💡When creating the wings in row 10 work the chain stitches loosely to allow proper draping and natural wing appearance
  • 💡For the rooster comb work quickly and confidently as the red yarn can be tricky when working multiple stitches in same location
  • 💡Use safety eyes appropriate to the pattern size 8mm for ducks and 6mm for the smaller rooster for proper proportions

FAQs

Can I use regular worsted weight yarn instead of super bulky?

Yes, but you'll need to use a smaller hook (around 2.5mm or 3mm) and your finished birds will be much smaller. The pattern will work the same way, just adjust your expectations for final size.

What does 'no-sew' mean in this pattern?

No-sew means you crochet from the body up to the head in one continuous piece, eliminating the need to separately attach the head to the body. Wings and legs are attached as you work or with minimal sewing.

How do I work the wings in row 10 for the duck patterns?

You'll make a chain, turn your work, and crochet back along that chain to create the wing shape. Then skip 2 stitches on the body and continue with regular single crochet. This creates the wing attachment without sewing.

Can I make these birds larger?

Absolutely! Use a larger hook and thicker yarn. If you want to significantly increase size, you may need to add extra increase rounds at the beginning and work more rounds for the body section.

What's the best way to attach the rooster's wings?

The wings attach as you work row 9. Hold the wing against the body and crochet through both the wing stitches and the body stitches together for 4 stitches. This secures them without any sewing needed.
