My daughters love themed animals and are a big inspiration to my patterns. After making my amigurumi cow, I knew I wanted to create a farm theme. The next installment is here, these sweet little ducks! (Funny enough, when I started designing them they were chicks. After frogging and trying to get the details to match what I pictured in my head, they started to look more and more like ducks. My awesome pattern testers helped me pinpoint which animal they should be!) If you are new to amigurumi be sure to check out my tips and materials page to help get you started! By including or excluding the bow and eyelashes this pattern is easily adaptable to make in a boy or girl version! Equally fun is deciding the colors to make them in. Both work up to be about 13 inches tall, perfect cuddling size! If you have any questions along the way or want to share your project with us, join the Grace and Yarn Crochet Group on Facebook! I'll also keep you updated on new patterns, giveaways and tutorials! In most of my patterns I use plastic safety eyes, they are easy and fast to install. However, they are not recommended for children under 3. If you are making this for a little one or don't have the size needed on hand, I recommend using my crochet thread eyes as an alternative! You may make and sell items made from this pattern but please do not sell, share or reproduce the actual pattern. If you sell finished items online (Etsy, etc) please provide a link to the pattern and credit to me as the designer, thank you. I hope you enjoy this pattern! This is a free pattern here on my blog, if you would prefer an ad-free printable version you can purchase one for a small fee from Ravelry or Etsy. Don't forget to PIN this pattern and save to your favorite board! This post contains affiliate links, please click here for more info. Thank you for supporting Grace and Yarn! Materials: Size 4 worsted weight yarn (100g of white or yellow yarn for the body, 25g orange) 3.5 mm crochet hook (these are my favorite to use!) 15mm safety eyes Black crochet/embroidery thread for eyelashes/small amount of choice color for bow (optional) Scissors Tapestry needle (these work wonders for amigurumi with their bent tips) Stuffing (Poly-Fil and Morning Glory are my top favorites!) Stitch markers US Abbreviations: MC- Magic circle SC- Single crochet SC INC- Single crochet increase INV DEC- Invisible decrease DC- Double crochet *Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched.

Round 23: Chain 3 and attach to the first leg with a SC (be sure both feet are facing the same direction), SC in the remaining stitches around the leg, when you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains, SC in the remaining stitches of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains (42 SC) This completes your join and is where your next round will start.

Sew the tail centered on the back of the body, lightly stuffing as you go. Optional Bow- Working in a magic circle make 7 DCs, slip stitch, 7 DCs, and slip stitch again, pull your string tight and wrap it around the middle of the bow 4 times.

I've been working on a few things for Behavior Management so I thought I'd join the party! Check out The Lesson Plan Diva to see others who have linked up! I've seen a lot of clip charts and stop lights in blog land and I have to say that I am not a fan. Don't get me wrong--I think they are pretty, easy to use, and a quick visual for the teacher at the end of the day when getting things ready to go home. BUT I strongly believe that kids should not be publicly embarrassed for their behavior. EVERYONE makes poor choices from time to time. Would you want the entire staff to know when you missed a deadline or made a mistake? I know this is not the intention, but it happens anyway. Instead I use a binder. I wish I had a photo to show but sadly it is locked up at school. In the binder is a chart with student numbers instead of names. When students make poor choices, they are asked to visit the behavior binder where they place a check mark next to their number. There is also a copy of our Quality Student they should quickly review. When sending students to the binder, I make sure to do it privately so the student is not embarrassed. Each Monday we discuss the previous week's data, celebrate if we made a goal, and make new goals for the coming week. The binder is also handy at conference time. As a class, we set goals for the number of checks we will try to stay under per week. Students also may have personal goals for how many checks they will have each week or grading period. Recently I found Homeworkopoly on Ladybug's Teacher Files and decided to teacher-lift it. She uses this for students who consistently complete their homework, but I decided to use it as a behavior incentive. ALOT of people have been posting about doing away with the prize/treasure box and this could work for that too. I included two "prize box" places on the board but you could easily replace them with something else. I am still working on the Chance cards and I also added a spot for "Student-written questions." My plan here is to have students write their own review questions for topics already covered. So my printer is running low on ink and the colors are a bit distorted but this is the basic idea. My plan is to post it on the chalk board and use pictures of the kids faces to make magnetic playing pieces. Students who made it the entire week without any checks in the behavior binder (or who met their personal behavior goal) will get to take a turn on the Behavioropoly Board. Check out Ladybug's Teacher Files to see how she runs the game. ***Update*** Due to a high volume of requests I am no longer sending out my template by email. You can go to my TPT store and download the files for free!
