12. Daphne the Dainty Crochet Duckling
Daphne is a sweet, nostalgic duckling that evokes images of warm spring mornings and splashing in puddles. Crocheted in a soft, buttery yellow cotton yarn, Daphne features a chubby, pear-shaped body and tiny, flappable wings. Her beak is worked in a contrasting soft peach color, shaped with simple decreases to give it a realistic, slightly upturned curve. Daphne is an incredibly easy and rewarding pattern, making her a popular choice for Easter baskets, baby showers, or spring-themed home displays. Decorate her with a small flower crown made of embroidered daisies for an extra touch of cottagecore charm.
