PATTERN: BOTTOM-UP / LEVEL: BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE

Create your own Psyduck in the classic headache position!

For this project you’ll need:

Suggested materials:

• 3.5 mm crochet hook with medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) in mustard yellow, light yellow and dark brown or black
• 2 small pieces of white felt sheet
• 5 or 6 mm black safety eyes
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Pin needles
• Stuffing fibre
• Craft glue
• Tape measure or ruler

Yarn information:

For this project, I used:

• Medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo 100% acrylic from Yarnspirations in the colour Gold
• Medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) Caron Simply Soft 100% acrylic from Yarnspirations in the colour Taupe
• Medium weight yarn (4/Worsted) Caron One Pound 100% acrylic from Yarnspirations in the colour Cream

Size:

My finished piece measures approximately 18 cm. However, the size of your finished item may vary depending on your yarn tension and the materials used. If you’re using a different hook or yarn size, be sure to adjust the placement and size of the eyes accordingly.

My abbreviations (based on US terms):

• MR - magic ring
• ST - stitch
• CH - chain
• SL ST - slip stitch
• SC - single crochet
• INC - increase (2sc in the same st)
• DEC - decrease (sc 2 together)
• PICOT - picot stitch (ch3, insert the hook into the back loop of the first chain and do a sc or sl st)
• ( )xNUMBER - number of times you have to repeat everything inside the brackets
• square brackets - total number of stitches on the row

Tips:

• If you’re unfamiliar with any crochet stitches used in this pattern, try searching YouTube for “stitch name + tutorial.” You’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly, detailed video guides.

• Rows without a mention of a chain between them are worked in continuous rounds. To keep track, use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of each row.

• In crochet, yarn over (YO) and yarn under (YU) refer to how the yarn is wrapped around the hook when making stitches. Yarn over (bringing the yarn over the hook from back to front) is the standard technique and is used throughout all my patterns unless stated otherwise. Yarn under (bringing the yarn under the hook from front to back) creates tighter stitches and a firmer fabric. Using yarn under instead of yarn over may result in slight differences, such as a smaller final piece, more visible slip stitches, and a firmer, less soft texture.

• When working on a foundation chain, I usually prefer to use the back bumps of the chains for a neater finish with fewer visible holes.
