Why You'll Love This Psyduck-Baby Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms soft plush yarn into a charming, huggable Psyduck with minimal fuss. I enjoy the compact shaping—it's satisfying to watch the body become chubby and rounded as you stuff it. The Beak and Feet details are clever and give the toy tons of personality without complex sewing. I also love that the pattern is adaptable; you can change colors or yarn weight to create different sizes and looks. Seeing the finished Psyduck held in your hand always makes me smile.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this Psyduck-Baby pattern by changing colors and textures.

You can make a pastel version by substituting soft baby colors for Color A and Color B for a nursery-friendly toy.

To make a larger Psyduck, use a bulkier plush yarn and a larger hook—this creates a chunkier, cuddlier result.

For a mini keychain, use a finer yarn and smaller hook, then attach a keyring to the top strand of hair.

I often swap the safety eyes for embroidered eyes or felt pieces for a more child-safe version.

Try adding tiny accessories like a crocheted bowtie or hat to personalize your Psyduck for gifts.

You can experiment with different stitch textures—replace some single crochet rounds with half double crochet rows for a slightly different body texture.

If you want poseable wings, consider inserting a small piece of flexible wire inside the wing tail before sewing it flat.

I sometimes stitch a small pocket on the back to store tiny notes or charms for a playful surprise.

Switching yarn fiber (acrylic vs plush) will change the drape and feel—choose what matches your intended recipient best.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when working flat foundation rounds can cause losing your place; use a stitch marker at the start of each round and especially when turning to the other side of the foundation chain. ✗ Forgetting to switch to Color B at the indicated round will leave the feet/beak in the wrong color; follow the note at Rnd 4 and change color exactly where instructed. ✗ Overstuffing the head or body can distort the shaping and make sewing pieces difficult; stuff gradually and shape the body to be chubby but not overly firm. ✗ Closing openings too early prevents correct placement of safety eyes and stuffing; insert safety eyes between rnd 15 and 16 and start stuffing the head and body only when instructed. ✗ Stuffing wings, beak, or tail will change their intended flat look and placement; do not stuff the Wings, Beak, or Tail and leave yarn tails for sewing as instructed.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the Beak to the Head between rnd 12 and 15, folding the Beak flat at the front and creating a triangular opening before stitching; embroider the nose detail with black yarn.
  • Sew the Wings to the Body between rnd 9 and 11, spacing them about 7-8 stitches apart and positioning them horizontally or diagonally as desired.
  • Fold the Tail flat and sew it to the back of the Body between rnd 5 and 7, using the yarn tail left from fastening off to stitch in place.
  • Use a darning needle and Color B to sew the Feet flat so they resemble Psyduck's flat duck feet, following the detailing photo reference.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the start of rounds and to keep track of safety eye placement and shaping.
  • 💡Start stuffing the Body at rnd 12 to shape the chubby form, and start stuffing the Head at rnd 18; finish stuffing before closing.
  • 💡Do not stuff the Wings, Beak, or Tail; leave yarn tails after fastening off for sewing these pieces flat to the body.
  • 💡Switch to Color B as indicated in Rnd 4 to create the beige feet/beak details as shown in the photos.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails when fastening off pieces so you can sew them neatly to the body without extra joins.
