Funmigurumi Blockety Mallard

Best Blog Tips



When we lived in Washington State, we had a pond near out home and a large field of grass, every year, the Canada geese would come, but year round, there were Mallard ducks in that pond. Every now and then, some other visitors would come, like we saw a gray crane once and at another time, we had a snow goose. But the Mallards were the local boys and girls. We would go down to the pond and watch them and sometimes, feed them. I loved to watch them swim, the sun, glinting the feathers of their heads with gorgeous, shimmering, blues and greens. . .This Blockety Ducky is a fun Mallard duck. Like Blockety Ducky, Blockety Mallard is a tactile delight for any little one. Because it has feett, wings, a beak and a tail, and baby can have fun with those. It is also a rattle that can bring out squeals of fun from baby as he moves the block around. Hope you like him!

Triangle #2- Repeat as for triangle #1.

Put Tail Together as Follows: Sew both triangles to each other so that they form something similar to a cone. In other words, sew all sides together, except the top. Stuff lightly with fiberfill. Choose a Kelly Green Block, turn it around so that the rows face vertically, measure the back and center tail. Pin down. Thread blunt needle with leftover tail and sew in place. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Sew tail block to the back of the other blocks you have already sewn together. Fasten off, weave in tail.

Note- There is a slight difference between the Spring Green yarn and the Kelly Green yarn. When you work the Spring Green yarn, work a bit more loosely, otherwise, the clocks will be slightly smaller. If yours come out that way, stretch them a tiny bit as you sew them to the others, they will fit snugly, but they will fit.

Sew bottom block in place, this is one of the Spring Green blocks. Stuff feet lightly and sew them in place as seen in photos. Fasten off, weave in tails. Stuff block, insert cat ball or squeaker and sew last block in place to correspond to the top of Blockety Mallard’s head. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Note- If you want your Blockety Mallard to be a bit more “square”, cut 4, strips of plastic canvas 2” tall by 5” wide and sew them together into a little open square, insert into Blockety, stuff, put your cat ball in, and close the top. This Blockety will have a perfectly square body but will not be squeezable, so you cannot use a squeaker for this one. I personally, like the “pudginess” of this duck.

That’s all.
You’re done!

Best Blog Tips

We have had the most wonderful dogs (I think all dog lovers feel the same way about their pups!) For one reason or another, all of ours have had spots. So, I'm inspired to share my own take on wonderful, fun, loving, spotted dogs. Without any more hoopla, here's Spots, the lovable goofball.
Spots' biggest problem is that he cannot believe how is it that Mama has a radar that always catches him red-handed! (Sometimes his sister is the instigator of the mischief and he's just playing along) so he puts on this lovable, "I don't know what you're talking about look". . .hoping to get away with it!
