Making notes
Verify the four-cell crown, single eye, narrow bill, tail step, and two separated foot groups. Row 13 remains blank beneath the twelve active rows.
This compact duck retains a yellow side silhouette, orange bill and feet, one black eye and six pale belly cells; the light underside is intentionally not saturated blue. The editable 13×13 result contains 94 occupied cells across 4 source roles.
Begin with the four-cell crown and extend the head toward the bill. Fill the rounded body, place the pale belly patch, then add two orange foot groups after checking the tail step. Use row 7, the fullest row at 11 occupied positions, as a horizontal recount anchor. The design occupies twelve rows inside a thirteen-cell square. Preserve the final blank row, the single eye, the narrow beak and the spacing between both feet. Occupied bounds run from row 1 to row 12 and column 1 to column 13.
Pattern layout and bead count
The occupied motif measures 13×12 and is normalized to 13×13 with 1 bottom. No occupied cell is cropped, scaled, mirrored or moved. The 94-bead chart fits one standard 29×29 square pegboard. This framing protects the anatid bill geometry. Checkpoints: First occupied row 1: Y C4–C7. Confirm the anatid bill entry point. Fullest row 7 contains 11 occupied cells; compare its complete left-to-right sequence before fusing. Use it as the anatid bill span audit. Rarest role Black Eye occurs 1 times at R3C5. Recheck this role beside the anatid bill landmark. Padding audit: 1 bottom; active bounds are R1–R12 and C1–C13. The anatid bill boundary must remain inside those limits.
Ways to customize this pattern
For an alternate edition, recolor Duck Yellow, Orange Bill and Feet, Black Eye, Pale Belly as separate value roles while leaving every occupied coordinate and 13×13 normalization unchanged. Keep the silhouette-specific landmarks and rare accents distinct at thumbnail size.
Sort the source roles as 80 Duck Yellow, 7 Orange Bill and Feet, 1 Black Eye, 6 Pale Belly. Keep Black Eye distinct even though it contributes only 1 cells; Brand remapping should preserve the same light-to-dark hierarchy and never merge an occupied role with background.
Print and iron checklist
Bill, tail and toes have little surrounding mass. Apply heat through the yellow body first, touch the projecting orange pieces briefly, and cool before lifting the lower edge. Inspect narrow joints from the reverse before mounting or exporting a replacement chart. Before export, verify the 13×13 coordinates, 94-bead total and all 4 active color roles against the on-page material list.
Project ideas for Little Duck
Its small scale works for a pond-study counter, spring basket tag or beginner backpack charm. Stitch a loop through a backing layer rather than through the beak or foot tips. Keep labels, dates and explanatory text on a separate backing so the approved silhouette stays unchanged.
The source grid uses Y and the other design symbols only as internal color roles. The interactive chart replaces them with the selected manufacturer codes, while its material list combines any roles that map to the same bead color.
