For my birthday this year, I was able to go to Disney World for a weekend getaway. After a very stressful few weeks leading up to the trip, with many life changes, I was more than ready for a few days away from everything. Something that I love about Disney World is being able to disconnect from the “real world” even if just for a few hours. There is something about sipping on a fruity drink while walking down the street of Hollywood Studios that makes me feel a sense of peace. On my birthday trip, we had beautiful weather and a wonderful time. As I was leaving Hollywood Studios, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck were hanging out near the entrance to wave me off. I knew when I got home, I had to make my own crochet versions of these cute ducks. I wanted to share them as free patterns so you can make your own to make you or a loved one smile. These patterns are very similar but I wanted to include both instead of just variations of the same pattern.
For this pattern, I used Premier Parfait Chunky yarn (which is my favorite yarn) for a soft pastel look. Click here to get Premier yarn for this project. If you enjoy this pattern, please give me a follow on social media and let me know what other free patterns you would love to see! Happy crocheting 🙂
