Little Yellow Duckling

This little yellow duckling is one of the simplest and cutest patterns in the catalogue. A single sunny colour does most of the work, with just a touch of orange for the beak and two black beads for the eyes — a guaranteed win even for a first grid. Work through it one peg at a time, from the round head down to the slightly wider body, keeping the lighter patches for the wings so the shape reads well. Ironing is easy, as the pattern is compact and fuses quickly. Clipped to a bag, turned into a magnet, or simply sitting on a shelf, it never fails to bring a smile. A lovely classic to repeat in other colourways once you’ve got the hang of it!
