Make a Cute Crochet Duck Amigurumi: Step-by-Step Pattern & Tips
Creating a crochet plush duck amigurumi is a delightful project that yields a soft, handmade toy ideal for gifting or displaying. This pattern uses common amigurumi techniques (magic ring, single crochet, increases and decreases) and provides clear round-by-round instructions to stitch the head, body, wings, legs and beak, then assemble them into a finished duck. Choose yarn and a hook that give you the fabric density you prefer, and use safety eyes or embroidered eyes for a child-safe option.

Assembly
Wings: Attach the wings to the body between rounds 14–16, 8 stitches apart. Make sure they are positioned symmetrically and parallel to each other before sewing firmly in place.
Legs: Attach the legs between rounds 18–19, 3 stitches apart.
Beak: Sew the beak centered between the eyes around rounds 5–7.
Finishing tips: Secure all parts with hidden stitches and weave in ends. Adjust stuffing to achieve the desired firmness and shape. If the toy will be given to small children, use embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes for added safety.
