Ducks have been quietly taking over the internet, and I am so here for it. 🦆 While they might not have as many famous characters as bunnies for example, people absolutely love ducks! Just look at Pinterest. Duck-themed crafts, decor, and plushies are everywhere. And honestly, I get it. They’re cute, round, and just make people happy!
If you’re feeling the duck obsession like I am, you’re going to love these free crochet duck patterns. Each one comes with a link to the pattern, and some are even YouTube tutorials! If you prefer written patterns, check the comments – a lot of crocheters (owners or their subscribers provide one there). So grab your yarn, because it’s time to crochet some cuties! 💛
Cute Duck
This little white duck is such a great beginner-friendly pattern! The simple, round shape makes it easy to crochet, but the tiny blush and bright orange beak give it so much personality. Perfect for anyone looking for a quick and cute project! (youtube video pattern)
Mallard Duck
Okay, mallards don’t get enough love in amigurumi, but LOOK at this cutie. 🦆 This kind of duck is definitely harder to crochet than a regular one, because of the color change on the body. The colors are spot on, and that round little body is just too precious. It’s giving “tiny forest friend” energy, and I’m obsessed. If you’ve ever wanted to crochet a duck that looks just like the real thing (but 1000x cuter), this pattern is for you. (youtube video pattern – a paid pdf version is also available)
Duck on a Swing
This duck is an actual vibe. It’s a little round ball of cuteness, peacefully swinging. And I can definitely imagine it swinging in the car! Wouldn’t that be so cute? 😭 In the PDF pattern, the creator even shows yarn variation, which I think is really cool to do♥ It allows you to visualize what your duck would look like with your yarn, if you don’t have the recommended one. (pdf pattern)
Goose & Babies
This might be the most elegant crochet duck I’ve ever seen. The bonnet? The little ribbon? The way the baby ducklings follow her?? 😭 It’s giving ultimate cozy, countryside storybook vibes. This one is an instant must-make for anyone who loves vintage aesthetics and wholesome duck families. (website page free pattern – paid pdf version available too)
Daisy
This little Daisy amigurumi is just the definition of sweet! The soft colors, the tiny pink outfit, and the perfect little bow make it look so adorable. On the YouTube video, you can also see her beloved partner, Donald! ♥ (youtube video pattern – paid pdf version available as well)
Duck Softie
This little duck is giving soft vibes only. The pale yellow color, the tiny blushing cheeks, and those little feet make it look extra huggable. It’s one of those plushies that you just want to squeeze. Perfect for a cute gift or just to keep on your shelf for instant serotonin! (youtube video pattern)
Spirited Away Duck
This little round guy is hilarious in the best way. The chunky shape, the little beady eyes, and that tiny leaf hat—perfection. If you haven’t recognized it, it’s the duck from Spirited Away!
I love them. 😂 If you need an easy, beginner-friendly pattern with a big dose of personality, this is it. (pdf file pattern)
Duck Keychains
Tiny and fluffy?! I’m in love. 💛 These mini duck keychains are giving maximum cuteness in the smallest package. The best part? The texture! That plush yarn makes them look extra soft. These would be such fun little gifts, but let’s be real, I’m keeping them all for myself. 🤭 (website page free pattern – paid pdf version also available)
Duck Family
This family set is EVERYTHING. The chunky plush texture makes them look extra cuddly, and I love the different sizes! The mallard dad, the fluffy white duck, the tiny babies… it’s just pure happiness in crochet form. If you want to make a whole flock of ducks, this pattern is perfect! What changes from the adult version to the mini version is the yarn used! It makes it look like a family, but it actually is the same pattern with different yarns used. (website page free pattern)
Classic Duck
Sometimes, you just need a classic duck. No fancy accessories, no extra fluff. Just a round, perfect little duck. This pattern is a great beginner project, and you can always customize it with accessories if you want! (Imagine a tiny hat or scarf… I need to try it.) (pdf file pattern)
Christmas Duck
A Christmas duck??? SIGN ME UP. This tiny mallard is absolutely adorable, and I love how it’s nestled in the tree. The size is perfect for a handmade ornament, but honestly, I would make a bunch of these to decorate random corners of my house all year round. 😂 (pdf file pattern)
Mini Ducks
Okay, these are basically tiny clouds with beaks, and I love them. The yellow duck, the mallard, and the white duck all look so soft and squishy. They’re the perfect size for keychains, desk buddies, or just tiny happiness in your pocket. Definitely one of the easiest patterns to whip up! (well, maybe not the mallard with the color switch, BUT YEAH.) (website page free pattern – paid pdf version available)
Duck Float
Okay, but this is GENIUS. A crochet duck, but in the shape of a pool float?? It’s so creative and fun! This would be such a cute summer-themed project, and I love how the little duck head peeks out at the front. Imagine making a tiny version for a mini doll pool setup. Obsessed! (website page free pattern)
Turtle Duck
This one comes straight out of Avatar, the Last Airbender! If you don’t know it, there are hybrids animals in the show. Amongst which turtle ducks! Isn’t it super cute? The pattern is in french, but totally understandable if you know how to read the usual crochet abbreviations. (pdf file pattern)
Mini White Duck
This one is so cute, one of my favorites out of this collection. First, I love fluffy yarns for amigurumi. Second, I just love how small his features are on a chubby body. So cute! And those big round eyes are just adorable. (youtube video pattern)
Tiniest Duck
This one is SO small, but the details are perfect! It even has a tiny lily pad to sit on. I love when amigurumi patterns include extra little pieces like that. It just makes the whole thing even cuter! (youtube video pattern)
Mini Psyduck
Okay, Pokémon fans – this one’s for you! This Psyduck amigurumi is SO well done, even with its super small size. From the slightly confused expression to the tiny Pokéball. If you’ve ever wanted to crochet your own Pokémon, this is a great place to start! (youtube video pattern)
Chubby Psyduck
This adorable Psyduck pattern is SO round and chubby, I can’t! 😭 It keeps things super simple with its minimal features, but the tiny arms and feet make it extra cute. If you’ve been wanting to make a Pokémon amigurumi, this one is another great option! It will be much easier than the one just above. 💛 (youtube video pattern)
Duck with Frog Hats
Stop. This is TOO cute. A duck wearing a frog hat? It doesn’t get better than this. Honestly, this one is definitely my favorite of the collection. The little hood with the froggy eyes on top is just the perfect touch. If you love cozy, cottagecore amigurumi, this one’s a must-make! The video is not in English, but you have subtitles AND the pattern instructions on the screen, so it’s perfectly clear! (youtube video pattern)
Confused Psyduck
Another (and the last) Psyduck in this collection! Isn’t this one super cute, with its confused look? Well, I’m not entirely sure if it looks confused or painful, but Psyduck has always been kind of a mystery. In any case, a super cute project to try 💛 (youtube video pattern)
Angry Duck
Let me introduce a cute but angry duck, lol. I’m sorry but it’s IMPOSSIBLE to take this cutie seriously. It’s just so cute. This pattern is such a cozy, wholesome project, and I can already imagine this duck sitting on my shelf next to my own houseplants.💛 (She’s called Gertrude, but I think I will rename her when I crochet her lol) (website page pattern)
Duck Lovers
Let’s end up on a happy note with this super colorful duck couple. The button on the wing makes it look so cute, like old plushies. I think this pattern would make the perfect anniversary or Valentine’s Day gift! (website page pattern – free pdf also available!)
Wrap Up
Okay, but how do you even choose just one to make? 😭 From the chubby little keychains to the fluffy plushies, I want to crochet them all. Hopefully, you found a pattern (or five) that made you go, “Yep, I need this in my life.”
