With wrong sides together, sc through both thicknesses, changing colors as needed to maintain color scheme. Make 3 sc in tip of tail and 2 sc in bottom corners of egg. Sl st in center of duck’s bill at Row 26. Continue around entire duck (stuffing as you go) and join with sl st in first st of edging. Weave in all ends.

FUN IDEA: I added a squeaker inside the bill portion to make a baby toy that quacks.
