Crochet Duckle In A Frog Suit Tutorial
The Crochet Duckle In A Frog Suit is a unique amigurumi toy that features a cute duck doll dressed in an adorable frog suit. This project stands out because of its intricate details, like the duck's expressive face and the frog suit's playful design. The difficulty level for making this toy is easy with the below tutorial. The tutor in the video gives helpful suggestions, such as taking your time with the details and using stitch markers to keep track of your work. Below are the video notes on how to crochet this Duckle amigurumi:
- Crocheting the Head: Begin by creating a magic ring with eight single crochets. The second round involves eight increases, while the third round alternates between single crochet and increases to reach 24 stitches.
- Shaping the Head and Face: Continue crocheting rounds with a sequence of single crochets and increases. Cheeks are created by making increases, giving the duckling a rounded facial structure. Place safety eyes between the 10th and 11th rounds after crocheting the cheeks.
- Creating the Body: The body starts with a magic ring and six single crochets. Subsequent rounds involve increasing single crochets until reaching 28 stitches. After multiple rounds without increases, start decreasing stitches to form the bottom of the body.
- Making the Legs and Wings: The legs and wings are crocheted separately using the same pattern but in different colours (orange for legs, white for wings). The parts are later sewn or glued onto the body using silicone.
- Adding Details: The beak is crocheted using a slip knot and chain stitches. The frog’s eyes are also created using a magic ring technique, with both eyes and beak sewn onto the head for a cute finish.
- Frog Hat: The frog hat is made using half-double crochets starting from a magic ring. Several rounds of increases are made to form the crown, followed by rounds of straight stitches. The frog's eyes are crocheted separately and attached to the hat.
Materials Needed: The materials include 3mm crochet hook, cotton or wool yarn, safety eyes, a wool needle, scissors, and hot silicone. The wool's body is orange or light yellow, and the frog hood is green.
