Daphne the Duck is an adorable crochet project that comes to life as either a vibrant Pekin duck in yellow or a detailed Mallard duck featuring green and brown hues. The duck showcases a charming form, including a rounded body, distinct bill, and characteristic webbed feet, making it instantly recognizable and lovable.
This crochet duck is versatile, perfect as a toy for children or a decorative item for duck enthusiasts. It features safety details suitable for babies, including optional yarn or embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes, minimizing choking hazards. Its size and softness make it an ideal cuddly companion.
Crafted as an “advanced beginner” level pattern, making Daphne the Duck requires some familiarity with amigurumi techniques. The process uses single crochet stitches, invisible decreases, and seamless color changes, all worked with a smaller hook to ensure a tight, stuffing-proof finish. Each part is crocheted separately and then assembled.
Can I use a different yarn weight for Daphne the Duck?
Absolutely! For a larger plush duck, opt for Parfait Chunky or Bernat Blanket yarns with a matching hook size, adjusting the pattern as needed to accommodate.
