To work an invisible decrease, insert the hook under the front loop only of the first stitch and then under the front loop only of the second stitch, YO and pull a loop through both sts, YO and pull through both loops on the hook.

If your duck doesn’t sit flat, push up on the center of the underside where the last row was worked to flatten out the filling. I also like to flatten out the top of the head so it is not pointed.

• Round 11: ch 1, inc blo, blsc 5, sl st in next st of Round 4, FO leaving a long tail to attach wing to the body. (7)

Place wings on either side of the body. I like to hold mine in place with straight pins to make sure they are even. Using the tail of the wing and a tapestry needle, sew the wing to the body. I kept the tips of the wings unattached for a “ruffled feathers” look on the tips.

Duck Tuft

Thread a piece of yellow yarn onto a tapestry needle and insert into the center of the top of the head, and out through any st of next row. Insert needle into the st one over from the one the yarn came out of and back out the center top of the head. Using the tip of the needle, separate the strands of yarn and trim to desired length.

Weave in any loose ends and get ready to make more Dizzy friends!
