Hello! This lone, cheerful Rubber Duck is a fun beaded ring pattern can be stitched with precision-cut cylinder seed beads using brick stitch (or odd-count peyote stitch). The brick stitch pattern is written in text. Four, labeled images are included for your personal use. Tips to shorten or lengthen the pattern are also included.

Why stitch a lone, rubber duck*? When was the last time you had fun taking a bath? Rubber duckies are severely misunderstood bath time toys. A rubber ducky teaches resilience--because it's practically indestructible--and it always float no matter how many bubbles you have in your tub. Plus, they're always bright and cheery...a plus on a rainy day.

Please note: The pattern does not include the basic stitch instructions. You must know either brick stitch or odd-count peyote stitch to weave your ring. If you are new to beadweaving, you can find several tutorials to learn both of these stitches either online or in stores. If you're feeling adventurous, video tutorials are available on YouTube! and most bead stores will have video, text, or in person tutorials, too. Good luck!

* Most rubber ducks do have lots of fowl friends, and I'd be in trouble if I didn't mention that. This little one got lost and can't remember their name. Still swimmin' along, though! Admirable.
