The amigurumi duck toy is made in a very pretty color. When you download the amigurumi pattern, you will already see a very detailed amigurumi pattern. That’s why I don’t want to talk too much about the amigurumi pattern of the toy. The amigurumi duck toy has a very large orange beak. We see that the amigurumi duck, whose cheeks are painted pink, has orange and quite large paws. If you look closely, you will see that the duck, which has webbed feet, has tiny wings.
Pepe the Amigurumi Duck Pattern Step by Step
It is obvious that the toy has an unusual appearance, and the main reason for this appearance is that the head of the toy is quite large. In fact, it is so large that it is almost twice the size of its body.

Let’s start making a crocheted duck with unusual colors. First, we will crochet the duck’s big and cute body. The body of the toy is crocheted with malva yarn. Let’s get started.

After crocheting the body of the toy as you see above, you need to crochet the head of the toy and assemble it. You can do this by simply sewing it.

Fasten off and hide the thread, sew the head to the body.
After crocheting the duck’s head, it is recommended that you stuff it tightly. Another detail that is not included in the instructions but that I can suggest is that you can tighten the area where the eyes are. I must honestly admit that I came across an unusual and quite large beak design compared to the ducks I have seen before. Of course, we will crochet the duck’s beak using orange color.
BEAK:
WITH ORANGE YARN
8ch, go back to the 2nd ch from the hook and make:
1. 1inc, 5sc, 1inc, 5sc, 1inc (17)
2. 1inc, 6sc, 2inc, 7sc, 1inc (21)
3. 21sc (21)
4. 4sc, 3inc, 4sc (14)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Put some stuffing in the beak and sew between rows 11/12 (PHOTO 04)
Now we will crochet the duck’s wings, but you don’t need to fill the wings. The color choice should be the same as the body and head of the toy.
WINGS: (X2)
WITH MAUVE YARN
1. 4sc in the MR (4)
2. (1sc, 1inc)x2 (6)
3. 1sc, 1inc, 2sc, 1inc, 1sc (8)
4 to 6. 8sc (8) 3 rows
Fold in half and close with 4sc, fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew between row 11/12 (PHOTO 05)
Let’s start making the legs and feet of the toy. Since this is a duck, it has webbed feet. You need to make 2 of these pieces.
FEET AND LEGS: (X2)
WITH THE ORANGE THREAD
5ch go back to the 2nd chain from the hook and make:
1. 1inc, 2sc, 1inc. 3 sc (10)
2. 1inc, 4sc, 1inc, 4 sc (12)
3 to 5. 12 sc (12) | 3 rows
6. 1dec, 4sc, 3dec (8)
7. 6sc, 1dec (7)
8 to 10. 7 sc (17) 3 rows
Fasten off and leave a long thread for sewing, fold the ends of the feet if necessary and sew between row 5/6. (PHOTO 06)
Now we need to make the duck’s hair. It doesn’t actually have much hair, but making these 3 strands of hair may take some time.
HAIR:
WITH MAUVE YARN
4ch, mark the last ch and make 6 more ch, go back to the 2nd ch from the needle and make:
1. (5slst, skip 1 base stitch and fasten with 1sc in the next stitch) x3 (15)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew between row 2/3, catching a part of the forehead (PHOTO 07)
We see that there is a necklace-like piece made of purple on the neck of the toy. It is quite natural to use such pieces, especially at the connection points of the neck of the toys, because it is a very good way to hide the connection point of the head and body.
NECK:
WITH LAVENDER YARN
2ch, go back to the 1st ch and do:
1. (1hdc, 2ch)x6
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew between rows 12/13 (PHOTO 08)
Finally, we will crochet the tail of the amigurumi toy and finish the process. We will make the duck’s tail using purple color.
TAIL:
WITH LAVENDER YARN
5ch, go back to the 2nd ch from the hook and do: 1. 4slst, 5ch, 4slst
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew between rows 9/10 (PHOTO 09)
That’s it. If you followed all the instructions in the amigurumi pattern, your toy is ready! I hope you like it.
