Notes:
Read through the entire pattern first.

The duck is worked in continuous rounds. Do not join while making the duck unless told to. Use stitch markers to know where your first stitch in the round is.

Beginning chain 1 does not count as a stitch throughout pattern.

First stitch is always in the same stitch as the beginning chain.

Beginning Ch 3 does count as a stitch throughout the pattern.

Repeat stitches between * and * around.

Alternative to MC - Ch 4, and join to the first ch to form a circle.
