Meet Dilly and Mallard! Her full name is ‘Daffodil’ - named for the lovely spring flowers that were blooming just when she hatched. Some duck friends call her ‘Daffadowndilly’ or ‘Daffadilly,’ and this makes her laugh, but her favorite nickname is just plain ‘Dilly.’ She and Mallard are best of friends – they have been splashing in ponds together since they were ducklings!

Create your own adorable little duck in just a couple hours! This super simple pattern includes one PDF file with detailed instructions on how to crochet and assemble all the parts to make this duck or mallard duck.

Only basic crocheting skills will be needed to make this pattern: chain, single crochet, double crochet, and decreasing.

Materials You Will Need:
• Crochet hook size: G/4.00mm
• Medium worsted weight yarn: yellow (71 yards needed) & orange (21 yards needed) – or dark green, tan, brown, and white for a mallard
• Yarn needle
• One pair of 12 mm safety eyes*
• Polyester fiber fill stuffing

Note: Safety eyes can be found on Etsy, Amazon, eBay, or your local craft store. The safety eyes are recommended, but can also be substituted with embroidered eyes.

Final measurement for the finished duck will be 5.5 inches (or 14 cm) tall.
