Make 2 more toes, tie off the 2nd toe but NOT the 3rd toe. Leave the 3rd toe on your hook and continue on to round 3 where you will join the toes
Foot
ℹ. To join the toes you are going to sc around the outside of them, the same way you did with the fingers.
3. 2sc in the toe your hook is currently in, 2sc in the 2nd toe, 4sc in the 3rd toe, 2sc in the 2nd toe, 2sc in the 3rd toe (12)

8. Sc in each st (8)
ℹ. Slst, tie off and close up. Leave a tail long enough for sewing onto the body.
You don’t stuff the feet. Repeat these steps to make your second foot
Assembly
I start with adding the beak to the body and to do this you will want to use long pins to hold it in place
You want the bottom of the beak to line up with the very bottom of his head, and make sure your hair is facing the right way. Now just sew around the edge
Next I sew on the arms and again, you will want to use pins to hold them in place
I place them about a fingers width away from the beak which is roughly 3 stitches, and you want the top of his fingers to be in line with the top of his beak
Then I sew his feet on, using pins to hold them in place
I try to place them on either side of the magic ring, with his toes sticking out a bit at the front
The last thing to sew on is then the tail. You want the longer part of the open end to sit just under his bum
I tend to pin it in place an then pop it on a flat surface to make sure that stands up before sewing it on
Last but not least you just need to sew in his eyes and his nostrils
For the eyes, you want to make a sideways 'V' shape, and then a horizontal line in the middle. The tip of the V should be in line with the top of the beak, pointing towards the top of the beak
For his nostrils you just want to make 2 small diagonal lines, one stitch long, with the bottoms of the lines pointing in. You want roughly 1 between the bottom of the 2 lines
You should now have a finished Psyduck!
