Q&A: Your Jelly Bean Duck Crochet Questions Answered!
Here’s some frequently asked questions about the Free No-Sew Jelly Bean Mallard Duck Crochet Pattern to help you create your own adorable little ducks for Easter, Spring or just for cuddles!
How do I get the pattern?
The full free pattern is available right here on this blog post! You can scroll down for the written instructions and materials list. There’s also a full video tutorial linked in the post to guide you through each step.
How long does it take to make one duck?
One of the best things about this pattern is how quick it is! Most crocheters can complete a Jelly Bean Mallard Duck in under an hour.
What yarn should I use?
The pattern is designed for Hobbii Honey Bunny yarn (a super bulky weight 6), which creates a lovely, cuddly texture. However, you can substitute with any similar super bulky yarn. Just be aware that using a different yarn weight might slightly affect the finished size of your duck.
What does “no-sew” mean?
“No-sew” means that all the pieces of the duck are crocheted together as you go, so you don’t have to sew any parts on separately. This makes the project much faster and easier, especially for beginners.
What if I don’t have safety eyes?
No problem! The video tutorial includes instructions on how to embroider sleepy eyes as an alternative to using safety eyes. This is also a safer option for toys intended for young children.
What can I do with my finished Jelly Bean Mallard Duck?
These little amigurumi ducks are perfect for so many things! They make great gifts for friends and family, adorable decorations for nurseries or kids’ rooms, and they’re also popular items to sell at craft markets.
