Latest noteProgress 100% Date Sep 28, 2022 Project Darling Duck Mood 😊 A simple pattern with sweet results that works up super fast! Incredibly easy to follow and fairly clear. All my recs for changes can be found below, and for the head section my suggestions to improve clarity would be: 1. Since this is listed as beginner-friendly, if possible showing/describing how you're sewing the head to the body - this could be as simple as saying you whip stitch them or what have you - would be immensely helpful. 2. Offer guidance on eye placement. 3. Show what the folded beak looks like, unattached, so people can compare theirs. By the same token, indicate which side of the duck bill should be facing out , if it matters in the final design. Great pattern and makes a delightful little keychain; thanks for letting me test!

So far I think the instructions are fairly clear and easy to follow! I only have a couple recommendations/suggestions for this first section.

1. Indicate what size yarn (and safety eyes) was used for the sample, just so people can use for reference and size up/down accordingly.

2. Add tapestry needle to the tools/accessories.

3. This is purely stylistic, but putting the final stitch count for each round in parentheses after the sitch pattern is sufficient, if you didn't want to write out, "So there will be (x) sc," each time. Instead, for instance, you can write: 
(sc, inc) x 8 (24 sc). Again, nothing wrong with how it is written now (makes it crystal clear), but if you wanted a more succinct option, it's common to just put them in brackets or parentheses at the end.

4. On the part where we stitch up the body, indicate if you mean sc, sl st together, or use needle and yarn to close the gap. I assumed based on the picture and the following instruction it was sewn, but I might be mistaken. To avoid confusion,  maybe add your method there, even if it is ultimately crocheter's choice of method for closing the gap.

Otherwise, it is incredibly straightforward and the photos at every step are a stellar addition!
