The only thing cuter than a row of waddling and quacking ducklings is the sweet little human who will wear this sweater!
A yoke sweater worked in the round from the bottom up and in one piece. Baby sizes have an opening in the back, so the top of the yoke is worked back and forth to create a keyhole neckline. Change to double pointed needles or needles in preferred style for working small circumferences (magic loop, short circulars, etc.) when necessary as the yoke decreases. Smaller details of the duck such as eyes and beak are worked in duplicate stitch and embroidery.
