So I decided to share. Coz why not. I saw simpler ones at some places, you know... And didn't find a pattern when I was looking for one, so that has to be amended.
Amigurumi duckling Materials: F hook and some scrap yarn in yellow and orange, not much, really. And something to stuff with (pellets or fiberfill).
I usually start from a magic ring, unless noted otherwise.
Work in continuous rows or else. :D
Tip: Use invisible decrease stitches for neater effect. Or split the body from the head at the 20th row, and start the head separately from the end backwards.
body&head: (yellow)
1. 6
2. 12 (6inc)
3. 18 (sc1, inc1)x6
4. 24 (sc2, inc1)x6
5. 30 (sc3, inc1)x6
6. 34 (the tail. inc4, sc26)
7. 36 (sc2, inc2, sc30)
8. 34 (sc1, dec2, sc31)
9. 30 (dec4, sc26)
10-19. dec by one in each row. I like neat decrease rows, so mine has a line from the tail to the head (the dec is the very first stitch in the row). If you don't, make each dec at a different place. In row 19 you should have 18 stitches.
20. 15 (dec1, sc4, dec1, sc4, dec1, sc4)
21. 20 (3,inc1)x5
22-24. 25 <- STUFF NOW!
25. 19 (sc2,dec1)x6, sc1
26. 13 (sc1,dec1)x6, sc1
27. 7 (dec6, sc1)
Pull closed or not - the beak shall cover it anyways.
beak: (orange yarn, prepared separately)
1. 6sc
2-6. 12sc
Leave tail to sew to the body!
legs: (orange yarn, make 2)
1. ch6, turn
2. 5sc, turn
3. 4sc, turn
4. 3sc, turn
5. 2sc, turn
6. 1sc
Leave longish tail to sew to body. (won't need much)
During assembly, insert the feet into the first single decrease row of the body (10th), and secure the last two rows into place with two or three stitches. The beak shall be stuffed very sightly, too, and placed so that its top is in line with the closed opening of the body.
Have fun, go wild!
