Made and counted by Wren —
2.5 mm hook, worsted weight yarn: amigurumi duckling with wings, 42-round body and safety eyes.
A worsted weight amigurumi duckling worked in continuous rounds with a 2.5 mm hook: the body runs 42 rounds from a 6-stitch magic ring up to 36 stitches by Round 7, with a back-loop-only round at Round 6 for shaping. Two 4-round wings attach separately once stuffing is complete. Finish with 6 mm safety eyes and black embroidery floss for the face.

2.5 mm hook: use this size throughout both the body and the wings; nothing in the pattern calls for a size change between parts.
6 mm safety eyes: insert before closing the stuffing gap on the body, since the backs need access from inside the head.
Round 6: this back-loop-only round changes the fabric's right side, so track it separately from the rest of the 42-round body to avoid losing count.
White and orange: carry the unused color loosely inside the round rather than cutting, since the body does not pause for color breaks between sections.
42 rounds: stuff as the body closes rather than all at the end, since the later, narrower rounds make packing fiberfill through a small opening harder.

After Round 1, check that the 6 sc close into a tight circle with no visible hole at the center; a gap means the magic ring needs pulling tighter before starting Round 2.
| Cotton, worsted weight | Produces a firmer, less fuzzy duckling with cleaner stitch definition on Round 6's back-loop line; test the 2.5 mm hook first and move up half a size if the fabric feels stiff. |
|---|---|
| Acrylic, DK weight | Makes a smaller body than the 36-stitch count at Round 7 suggests, since DK is thinner than worsted; drop to a 2.0-2.25 mm hook and expect the finished body to run smaller overall. |
| Wool-blend, worsted weight | Adds drape and a softer hand to the wings especially, though wool can felt slightly during stuffing; keep the 2.5 mm hook and stuff a little firmer than usual to counter the extra give. |
The pattern does not break out yardage by color, only that both white and orange worsted weight are used across the body's 42 rounds. Plan for white as the dominant color given the higher round count devoted to the body, with orange likely reserved for smaller detail areas.
Yes; the wings are a separate 4-round piece worked independently of the 42-round body, so color choice for the two wings does not affect the body's construction. Match the 2.5 mm hook across both pieces for consistent stitch size.
