This little duck is a quick and easy amigurumi project. It is worked in three pieces, each constructed in the round, so a stitch marker is important. I use a large 12mm safety eye to attach my head to the body (easy-peasy and it allows the duck to have a moveable head), but you can always sew yours together. I use US terms, so single crochet is the same as UK double crochet here. Chain (ch) Single crochet (sc) Stitches (sts) Single Crochet 2 Together (sc2tog) To single crochet 2 together: Insert hook into next stitch. Yarn over, pull up a loop. (2 loops on hook) Insert hook into next stitch. Yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook) Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.
