I have never seen such a perfect rubber duck! And I think he's great without eyes.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

My aunt has a collection from devil duckies that have tattos and horns to pink breast cancer awareness ducks. This would be the ultimate to her collection especially since she loves to crochet as well.

 

Eyes - what about some (not going to young children) little crocheted rounds?
