\"Ducklings<\/p>\n

After finishing my Duck and Goose pattern, I couldn’t resist a little seasonally-appropriate addition to the families, so here’s my new pattern: Ducklings and Goslings<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Ducklings<\/p>\n

About the Pattern<\/h2>\n

My goal for this design was the simplicity of a rubber ducky combined with the realistic shape and markings of real baby ducks and geese. As a result, the assembly is super-simple – you only need to stitch the bill to the head, and the head to the body, and your adorable palm-sized baby bird is finished!<\/p>\n

\"Ducklings<\/p>\n

This pattern includes three mix-and-match options. By swapping the duckling and gosling bill shapes and the three different head and body marking options and changing the colours, you can make a wide variety of ducks and geese. <\/p>\n

The single colour option is easy to crochet, and if you’re pressed for time you could make a whole flock of ducklings in yellow, brown, grey, black, white etc – fast and totally cute! Or, add in the lifelike markings to make even more adorably realistic babies.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> You can also brush your finished birds (before adding the bills) if you’d like to make fluffy ducklings! (See my Brushed Amigurumi tutorial<\/a> for full instructions and examples.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Meet the Ducklings and Goslings!<\/h2>\n

First up, we have the classic single-colour duckling (or gosling, if you swap the bill!):<\/p>\n

Next, the duckling markings, inspired by adorable baby Mallards with their distinctive eye stripe:<\/p>\n

And, last but not least, the gosling markings, with a simpler colour pattern inspired by baby Canada Geese:<\/p>\n

(While these colourways can also apply to other types of baby ducks and geese, I have an ulterior motive for naming them Mallard<\/em> and Canada Goose<\/em>: once I have enough sales of the Duck and Goose<\/a> crochet pattern to justify making adult Mallard and Canada Goose Expansion Packs for it, these babies will be ready and waiting to greet their parents!)<\/p>\n
