Little duck crochet pattern (PDF file - not a physical object!)

This crochet pattern includes step-by-step instructions with detailed images so you can crochet your own handmade little duck. A PDF file will be available to download upon completion of payment - you can start crocheting right away!

After you’ve buried your desk in crochet ducks, wrap them up as gifts for your duck-loving friends, attach a hook to hang them on the Christmas tree, add them as knick-knacks to your keychain, or give them to littles to start a crochet barnyard.

This pattern will show you how to make a multi-colored duck and a solid colored duck in two different positions (upright or relaxed), with additional instructions for an optional chest patch and wings. It contains close to 50 colorful pictures and easy-to-follow directions, followed by a printer-friendly text-only version of the crochet pattern at the end (However, I highly recommend you still refer to the pictures throughout the pattern if you have any questions!).

Mix-and-match the color changes to create your own unique duck! Using this pattern, you can crochet a Mallard, a Cayuga, a Khaki Campbell, a Redhead, or any number of the duck breeds of the world.

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate beginner. This pattern uses basic stitches, but the variety of stitches in a single round may be considered tricky for brand new beginners.
