About This Daisy the Duck Amigurumi Pattern

This delightful Daisy the Duck pattern creates a miniature amigurumi that measures just 4cm by 3cm by 4cm when finished. The pattern combines basic crochet techniques with clever shaping to create an authentic duck silhouette that sits perfectly upright. Using simple single crochet stitches, increases, and decreases, you'll craft both the body and beak separately before assembling your new feathered friend.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for this pattern! Try making Daisy in soft pastels like mint green and coral pink for a vintage look, or go bold with purple and teal for a more modern twist. You could even create a whole family of ducklings in rainbow colors - imagine how adorable a row of tiny ducks would look on your bookshelf!

For added personality, consider embroidering small details like eyelashes or rosy cheeks using embroidery floss. I've also seen crafters add tiny bow ties or flower crowns to make each duck unique. The small size makes it perfect for testing new techniques or using up yarn scraps from larger projects.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the back end heavily enough can cause the duck to tip forward instead of sitting upright ✗ Placing safety eyes too far apart or too close together can affect the duck's expression and overall appearance ✗ Not reshaping the body after completion may result in a less duck-like silhouette that appears too round ✗ Overstuffing the entire body can make it difficult to achieve the proper flat-sitting position required for balance

Assembly Instructions

  • Fold the completed beak rectangle in half and stitch the two shorter edges together to form a triangular beak shape
  • Position the beak along the bottom edge so it aligns with the join between rounds 7 and 8 of the duck body
  • Secure the beak by stitching along the mouth edge and then along the top, aligning with the join between rounds 6 and 7
  • If the duck doesn't sit flat, turn it over and push both thumbs from the bottom up towards the head to reshape

Important Notes

  • 💡Add extra stuffing to the back end of the duck to prevent it from tipping forward when sitting
  • 💡Place safety eyes between rounds 4 and 5, spacing them 4-5 stitches apart for the best expression
  • 💡Reshape the body after completion by gently squeezing to achieve the proper duck silhouette
  • 💡Use the 4ply yarn for sewing the beak attachment for the most secure and neat finish
