0 of 54 rounds done

  1. Size before assembly: an oval about 6 × 3.9 cm at the widest, 4.1 cm long; 20 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs front to back; the starting chain is at the bottom of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With brown: ch 9.
  3. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  4. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: an oval about 2.6 × 1.7 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 5 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With tan: ch 5.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff moderately just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 5 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–2 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 1.8 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–5 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 5.9 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 16 mm across.<!-- (dish 70 %) -->

  1. Size before assembly: about 3.5 cm at the widest, 2.4 cm long; 14 rounds.
  2. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R5).
  3. Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R7).
  4. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  5. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1 cm at the widest, 0.7 cm long; 3 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest (lies flat); 2 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in gold (same rounds, no colour changes).
  2. Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 14 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.7 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 7 rounds.

    1. Head-body is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Snout → head-body. Centre: in round 12, on the centre front line. Sew around the opening (22 st); the seam covers rounds 7–15 of the head-body, about 9 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Ear → head-body (make 2). Centre: between rounds 18 and 19, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Stand the dish on its rim, hollow side forward, and sew it on by the lower arc of the rim — about 4 st of round 4, catching the back layer too; the seam covers rounds 17–19 of the head-body, about 1 st wide. Press it into the base by about 4 mm.
    1. Bauble hat → head-body. Centre: at the centre of the last round. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches rounds 18–20 of the head-body, about 9 st wide. It points up. Press it into the base by about 7 mm.
    1. Bauble cap → bauble hat. Centre: at the centre of the last round. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches round 14 of the bauble hat (all the way round). It points up.
    1. Hanging loop → bauble cap. Centre: at the centre of the last round. Stand the joined double circle on its edge and sew it on by its bottom edge only — about 2 st of the edge; the seam covers rounds 2–3 of the bauble cap, about 1 st wide. It points up.
    1. Duckling → bauble hat. Centre: between rounds 9 and 10, on the centre front line. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches rounds 9–13 of the bauble hat, about 4 st wide. It points up and slightly forward. Press it into the base by about 3 mm.
    1. Beak → duckling. Centre: in round 6, on the centre front line. Sew around the opening (6 st); the seam covers rounds 4–7 of the duckling, about 2 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Cheek → head-body (make 2). Centre: between rounds 13 and 14, 7 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 12–15 of the head-body, about 4 st wide.

    Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

    • Embroidery in chocolate brown thread (on the head-body) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 16, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 16, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 15 and 16, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 16, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 16, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Satin stitch (on the snout): in chocolate brown thread, a oval about 5 mm wide and 2.8 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 1, on the centre top line .
    • Embroidery in chocolate brown thread (on the snout), straight stitches through: (in round 2, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, on the centre bottom line ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 2, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ).
    • Safety eyes 5 mm (on the duckling): between rounds 6 and 7, 3 st apart (count along round 6: about 1.3 st each side of the centre front line).
