Notes: 

• #sc, eg. (2sc, 3sc, etc) shows the number of scs to be completed in the indicated st
• Sts listed between brackets are all worked in the same st, eg. (hdc, dc)
• I highly recommend using a stitch marker to help keep track of the rounds for the body/head

Recommended Sequence for the No Sew Mallard Duck Free Crochet Pattern: 

 It is highly recommended to complete the No Sew Jelly Bean Mallard Duck pattern in the order the pattern is written.

Locate the far right marked st.  Count over 1 st to the right of it, if this is not the next unworked st of the body, crochet over to this stitch. (If left handed you will locate the left st and count over 1 st to the left).   Place the first wing in front of the body to the right of the marked sts (left if you’re left handed).  Working through both pieces (beginning with the marked starting chain of the wing and the next unworked st on the body), sc.  Working through the body only, scdec, sc in the next 3 sts, scdec, (these are your marked sts).  Place the second wing in front of your work (body).
