Felted Doris the Duckling Reviewed by Angela Huntington on 2011-03-25 *****
I'm new to crocheting and I found that this pattern was very easy to do and I'm so pleased with the results. I only had a large crochet hook so I ended up doubling the yarn for all of the parts. My duck is 9 inches tall. He's going to be a birthday present for a sister-in-law who's obsessed with duckies. I'm a mom to three boys, 1, 3 and 5 yrs old, and it took me a couple of days to complete it.
Also, I didn't felt him, and I thought a little hair was cute. Oh and I adjusted the pattern a bit to make it a little longer, I just added 7 rows to the body and I left his beak open.
