Duck Crochet Afghan Pattern is simple and easy beginner crochet pattern and I included a lot of pictures of every step of the process so even beginner can follow the pattern easily. I used the scallop stitches to create the wavy effect and i explain in details how to make them. :) The blanket reminds of a sea or a pond - you can decorate it with any sea-themed applique, not only ducks :) The Duck crochet baby blanket is approximately 28in by 28 in (71 cm by 71 cm). Yarn recommendation for the Duck Crochet afghan pattern: Red Heart Super Saver econo size: 1 skein of Turquia (7 oZ/198 g, 364 yds/333 m), 1 skein of Spring Green (7 oz/198 g, 364 yds/333 m), 1/2 skein or less of Bright Yellow. You can use any other brand of Medium weight yarn (weight category #4).

Gauge: 13 DC in 4 in (10 cm), 7 rows in 4 in (10 cm) (the gauge is approximate and not very important for the blankets).
First crochet scallop: DC in the same stitch. Make a chain 26 - 26 1/2 inches long (approximately 77 stitches), DC in the 4th stitch Make 3 more DC stitches in the same one stitch. Total should be 5 DC stitches in one stitch. Slip stitch in the 3rd stitch from the stitch where you've made 5 DC. the first scallop is ready!
Make the second scallop: 5DC in the 3rd stitch from where the hook is, slip stitch in the 3rd stitch from the stitch where 5DC were made. Make scallops all along the chain. You will have approximately 14 scallops.The second row of scallops: Turn, CH 2,
Make the scallops of the second row between the scallops of the first row (make 5DC in the slip stitch of the previous row). DC in the beginning of the CH2 Make one more DC in the same stitch. This is 1/2 of a scallop: [CH 2, 2DC, slip stitch in the 3rd stitch of the scallop of the previous row]. Every time the previous row finished with the whole scallop, the next row begins with 1/2 scallop like this.
To finish the scallop make a slip stitch in the 3rd (center) DC of the scallop of the previous row. If the previous row starts with a whole scallop, finish the current row with 1/2 scallop: 2DC in the last DC of the scallop from the previous row.
The finished 1/2 scallop at the end of the second row. Change the yarn color every 2 rows. Row #3: Turn and attach the blue yarn. If the previous row ends with 1/2 scallop, start with the whole scallop. The whole scallop: 5 DC in the slip stitch between 2 scallops from the previous row. Slip stitch in the center of the next scallop from the previous row.
Make blue scallops along the row. Be careful with scallops and 1/2 scallops at the beginning and at the end of each row - to keep the same number of stitches from row to row. Make another row in blue color. Continue the pattern: 2 rows of green color, 2 rows of blue color.
The total number of stripes is approximately 29 (58 rows of scallops, because each stripe is 2 rows). The last row: turn, CH 1 and make SC in each DC of the previous row and DC where the slip stitch was. It will even the scalloped edge.(not completely yet, but you will make Attach the yellow yarn and made a Note: in the corner stitches make 3 row of SC stitches around the entire SC stitches in one corner stitch. blanket, finish with the slip stitch. another row of yellow)
