Pattern

The Body, Head and Wings will be the same as the Boho Duckling. Use Yellow for these parts.

Beak
In the color Orange.

1: 4SC in Magic Ring. [4]
2: (inc, 1SC) 2 times. [6]

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Feet
In the color Orange.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: (1SC, inc) 3 times. [9]
The next part will be a bit tricky. If you can’t do it you can always make the feet from boho Duckling. You’ll devide your workin 3 parts. So the row you work on, make flat, side by side. Follow row 3/4 as written and repeat 3 times (2 times you need to re-attach your yarn).
3/4: 1SC, go to the other side of your work/row (that’s why you had to flatten). Count 3 stitches back (so the 1 you just made and 2 from the last row). Insert your hook in that stitch. Make 2SC. You will work in a tiny circle. make 3 more SC on top of the 3 st you just made.
Fasten off and weave in all tails.

Assembling

I always use sewing pins to place all parts first, before sewing. This way you can easily move all parts around until you are happy with the outcome.

Sew on the body to his head and place the wings at both sides of the body, sew on. His beak will go in between his eyes, but slighly lower. You don’t have to stuff the beak, but you can do if you want, do that when you are almost done sewing it on. Last sew on his feet.

Tip, add some pink pastel dust on his cheeks, for an extra cute look.
