Crochet Duck Assembly

1. Position and sew the horns to the hat using positioning needles to ensure symmetry.
2. Attach eyes to the head.
3. Glue the mouth in place between the eyes.
4. Using positioning needles, position and sew wings to both sides of the body.
5. Secure the hat to the head with glue.
6. Position and sew feet to the bottom of the body using positioning needles.
7. Attach flowers to the left wing, adjusting for the best placement.
8. Add large and small leaves, securing them with glue.
9. Tie a light pink bow around the flower stems.
10. Secure a pearl bead to the center of the bow. The duck is now complete!

Crochet Tips:

1. Start with a tight magic ring and maintain even tension throughout. Pay special attention to the neck shaping with half double crochet stitches.
2. The duck feet require careful attention to stitch placement for the webbed effect. Keep your chain stitches loose enough to create nice webbing but tight enough to maintain shape.
3. For the flowers and leaves, work your stitches tightly to create firm, defined shapes. When attaching flowers to stems, use a tiny amount of glue and hold until secure.

Assembly Tips:

1. Take time with placement before securing any parts.
2. Use positioning needles to ensure symmetry throughout.
3. When applying glue, use small amounts and hold pieces until fully set.
4. For best results, attach all sewn pieces first before adding decorative elements.
