Beneduck Cumberquack

Beneduck Cumberquack is getting ready for spring!

Beneduck Cumberquack

Beneduck Cumberquack is a very smart mallard duck gentleman! You can knit him from my pattern, or treat yourself to a Beneduck Cumberquack knit kit, which contains everything you need to knit your own mallard duck, along with a lovely Beneduck button badge.

Knitted mallard duck

Here's another project that I've finished, a knitted mallard duck. The pattern for this duck is in my book Knitted Birds!

Knitted Rubber Ducks

Everyone needs a cuddly knitted rubber duckie in their life, don't they? Here's your chance to make a flock of your very own - my knitted rubber duck pattern is now available in my Etsy shop as an instant download. The pattern includes full instructions for a large and small duck as in the photo - and there's no reason to just stick to yellow, the pattern looks great in any colour!

If you live near Worthing, the paper pattern is also available at The Wool Bar.

Now, all I need to do is to find a way to make them float...

Ducklings and their dad

Tufted duck

I think this little chap might be my favourite knitted bird so far. This is a tufted duck - a rather smart little diving duck who is slightly smaller than a mallard.

I redesigned and refined my basic duck knitting pattern for this one - my previous mallards were very simply shaped but this one has more complex shaping to give the duck a more rounded shape, slightly flatter than a goose.

I particularly like this duck's expression, like he has suddenly remembered something terribly important in the middle of the photo shoot. "Did I lock the front door before I came out? Oh no..."
