Rnd 3: in this round we will make a small bump in the middle of the dc sts and large bumps in the ch 3 spaces.
(2 sl st, ch 3, 3 sl st – this makes a small bump. You should now be in the ch 3 space. In this space we will work the large bumps: ch 3, sl st, ch 5, sl st, ch 7, sl st, ch 5, sl st, ch 3, sl st) 5 to create all the points of the snowflake.

Sl st and fasten off, leaving a long tail. The snowflake will be curled when finished. Stretch and shape it so that it becomes flat and shapely. You can also block it if you like.

Using the long fasten off tail and a tapestry needle, sew along the edge of the snowflake so the tail is at one of the 5 points. Attach another tail 2 points away. Secure and hide the Mr tail. We will use these tails to secure the bonnet to the head – tie a bow under the duck chin to secure and trim excess yarn.

Curve the bonnet around the duck head to give it some shape and keep her nice and warm.

Optional:

Use pink yarn and a tapestry needle to add blush to the duck’s cheeks, just under the eyes. Alternatively, you can use powdered blush and a small brush to apply.
