Instructions

1. Prepare the materials needed as listed above.
2. Crochet the ring by following the crochet pattern stated below. If you are crocheting it for a teether, you will have to reduce the number of stitches to begin, depending on the thickness of the wooden ring.
3. Stuff the ring when instructed. You do not need to stuff if you are crocheting it for a teether because you already wrap around the teether while crocheting. Join the end by sewing them up.
4. Continue to crochet the duck head and the beak. Stuff the head when instructed. Sew the beak and button eyes to the head. Then sew the head to the buoy ring. If you are crocheting it as a teether, replace the button eyes with black yarn.
