Wings part 6 [2x]:

In the colours of the body.

Close the side by working through part 2 and 3. Join in the first white stitch from part 4 or 5
in the corner. It doesn’t matter if you’re a stitch off
the stitch count of round 1, as long as it doesn't
wrinkle.Skip a stitch if it’s needed.

Rnd 2-3: [2 rounds] sc in each st. Don’t fasten off!
Slide the wing in the wing base, with the angled
sides next to each other. The light part of the base is
the bottom.

Work one row more if you have to much space left in

the base. Take a round off if you’re short on space. It
should be pretty snug. Fasten off with a long thread.

Place the feathers in the base, a bit of white from

part 5 should still be visible. Sew through the
stitches of the base, so the threat isn’t visible on the
top and/or bottom.

Place the wings, starting at round 23, with about 14

sc in between on top of the body. Attach the wings.
Make sure they are straight on the body.

Optional:​ place the wings a bit higher on top of the body and pull an iron wire through the
wing base and body to form a landing duck.

Contrast
Use taupe and light grey
Start in the bottom corner, in the first ch of round 1. Slst on
around the feathers of the tail, like you did with the wings. (The
pictures below are left handed, so if you’re right handed it
should look mirrored).

Place the tail on the same height as the wings, around the
back of the body. It should fit tight against the wings.

The next pages contain extra pictures of the wing proces. The right handed pictures can be
found on pages 9-12, the lefthanded on page 13-16, so you don’t have to print all pages.

That's it for your pretty duck, I hope you had fun!
