    Crochet Duck Pattern

    This crochet duck is about 5 inches tall (not including the legs.) The head and body are made in one piece, and the wings, legs, and beak are sewed on. This is a great beginner pattern.

    This little duck is the Letter "D" in my Amigurumi from A to Z series! Read this post to learn more and to see the other letters!

    Andrew Duckwell Waddlington III is a very royal little duckling. His father, King Mallard, wants him to take a bigger interest in the Pond Politics, but Andrew (or Drew as he rather be called) enjoys riding the lily pads at the edge of the pond. He has quite a bit of time to grow into his Princeship, however. He is still a little duckling.

    You can purchase the printable, ad-free PDF here or from  Etsy. For the free pattern, please scroll down.

    Crochet Duck Materials

    You will need:
    Approx 100 g size 4 yarn in Yellow and small amount in Orange
    Crochet Hook in Size 3.75
    Tapestry Needle
    Polyfil
    10.5mm safety eyes
    stitch marker

    Abbreviations
    SC- single crochet
    SC INC- single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)
    INV DEC- Invisible decrease (put hook through the FRONT LOOP ONLY of two consecutive stitches [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through both loops. [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through two loops)
    Magic Circle- Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.

    Cut two pieces of yarn about 6 inches long. Insert the hook through one of the stitches at the top of the head. Loop the yarn in half. Use your hook to pull it through at the halfway point, but not all the way. Go under the loop and pull the ends back through. Pull the ends tight.
