Stitches to Know:
- Magic ring
- Chain stitch (ch)
- Slip stitch (sl st)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Increase (inc)
- Decrease (dec)
- Bubble stitch
Pattern Overview:
Ears (Make 2):
- With the main body color, ch 7.
- From the second ch from the hook, sc 6.
- Turn your work; from the second ch, sl st 2, then sc 3, and perform 2 inc (2 sc in each st) across the round.
- Sc 3, finally 2 sl st, and fasten off. Repeat for the second ear.
Body:
- Start with a magic ring, and sc 6 inside the ring.
- Perform a round of 4 inc, then 3 ch. From the second ch from the hook, sl st 2. Add 2 inc to the body. After completing the row, you should have 12 stitches.
- To form the legs and ensure they aren’t placed on the sides, offset the stitches if necessary. Start with a sc. Switch to white yarn before pulling through the loop to change color.
- Create a bubble stitch with 3 double crochet (dc) in white. For each bubble stitch, half-complete 3 dc in the same st, leaving you with 4 loops on the hook, then yarn over and pull through all loops.
- Continue with an inc in the next st. Halfway through the second inc, switch back to the main color, and perform another bubble stitch in white.
- Sc 2, then skip the tail and sc 2 again. Perform an inc, then a sc at the end of the row, reaching 16 stitches.
- For rounds 4 and 5, sc 16.
- Round 6: Sc 2, then perform a dec (preferably an invisible decrease) four times to get 12 stitches.
Arms (Match with Legs):
- Ensure symmetry with the legs. Start with a sc, then switch to white yarn and bubble stitch.
- Yarn over, insert the hook, and complete the steps for the bubble stitch as before. End with 12 stitches after decreasing as needed.
Completion:
- Continue to increase stitches where indicated, follow the pattern for creating the duck's face centrally, and place eyes between rounds 12 and 13.
- Join the ears symmetrically on the head, attaching them by hooking through both the ear and the corresponding stitch on the head.
- Stuff the amigurumi lightly before closing, leaving a tail to close the hole. Weave through the front loops of the last stitches and pull tight to close. Weave in the end.
