Duke The Angry Duckling
This tiny crochet duckling is angry! What about? No one knows. Duke the angry duckling is an amigurumi pattern for advanced beginners.
Hi everyone!
Duke was a pattern I sold on Etsy many years ago. Back then, it was just a simple duck crochet pattern that wasn’t so angry. I decided to redo the pattern and offer it for free.
I improved some of the aspects of the pattern, but it retained many of its former qualities. The angry face is optional.
