Body – pull the yarn from the cast off tight, thread onto your darning needle. Fold the work in half, and stitch the sides together on the white end – this is the head. Using the tail from the cast on, run a running stitch through the cast on stitches and pull tight. Stitch up the back of the duck to the tip of his tail. Add the eyes at this point, and stuff. Stitch the last of the back up.

Wings – fold in half. Using the yarn tails, stitch the sides closed. Stitch these to either side of the body, just below the white neckline.

Feet – gently “squish” each of the toes, and secure with a stitch on each one just to shape them a little. Pin them to the bottom of the body so that they are placed symmetrically.

Beak – fold in half with the pulled stitches at the tip of the bill. Stitch up the side of the 4 stockinette stitch rows. Roll the beak so that the seam is directly under the centre of the bill. Stitch to the middle of his face.
