What will you need to make this duck?
I used two different weight yarns to make this duck but you can use one or the other. I used ELLE Yarns (Chunky Charity and Charity DK) to create this pattern.
Any acrylic, cotton or velvet yarn will work just fine with this patterns as amigurumi is very versatile and don’t need to be a specific weight.
Chunky: worsted weight yarn/ bulky/ Weight 5 yarn – 160m/175yrds
Double knit: Light worsted weight yarn/light/ Weight 3 yarn. – 20m/ 22 yards
You will need a 4mm hook for the body and 3.5mm hook to make the beak and feet.

Dewy is a minimal sewing pattern. You will make the wings and feet first and from there you will make the head and work straight down to the body, adding the wings as you go and attaching the legs with a slip stitch.
The body of the duck is made with a special front an back loop HDC stitch, I have a video tutorial on YouTube. This stitch is used so that you can stuff the body or leave it without stuffing. It give a great texture to the toys.
I stuffed my ducks body because my customers prefer them this way but it is totally optional!
