 NOTES
Using this pattern you will crochet a cute duck in bunny’s outfit and a carrot hat.
The toy pieces are crocheted in continuous non-joining rounds (unless otherwise
stated).
This pattern doesn’t include any crochet lessons. You must know how to crochet
main stitches.
Skill level - intermediate.
The size of the finished toy when using the indicated materials is about 21 cm
(8,26 inch) without a beret.
My stitches have a semi X-shape. If your stitches have V-shape, then your toy will
be bigger.
The wings and the legs are attached when crocheting a body.
A scarf, a pants, a beret and also a carrot hat are removable.
So that the duck could stand and sit, I used wire for the legs but it’s optional.
The duck does not stand on its own, only with support.

This pattern is designed by me Olesya Baygacheva and is for

personal use only.
The pattern (whole or in part) can not be reproduced, translated,
altered, distributed, resold or used for commercial purposes
unless authorised. You are welcome to sell any finished items that
you personally create from this pattern.
