Haven’t tried pattern yet, but have been looking a long time for a baby duck pattern. Pattern directions look easy enough for a beginner level knitter and has both written & chart directions. I will be making soon as a baby blanket block & will try to re-post then.
Wow – what happened to the formatting of the written pattern? I have an old copy without the chart so I guess I better use that one.
Hi Sande, thanks for letting me know! I have just reformatted it – please let me know if it still isn’t working right
Goeie naand. Will net weet die 57 ste ry klink nie reg vir my nie, kan julle my net reg help asb.
Hi Anna, I have fixed the pattern – row 57 should have been row 56. Thanks 😊
I love all your patterns
I have done around 15 so far
Would you happen to have a frog?
