---- About the Pattern ----
The 10-minute baby bird is a completely no-sew amigurumi pattern! The beak and feet are crocheted onto its round, chubby body. Use different colors to crochet this tiny stuffed bird into a mallard duck, chick/chicken/hen, dove, or more! You can even attach a keyring to the top of its head to turn it into a mini keychain. This pattern is designed with super bulky weight chenille velvet yarn, but you can use thinner yarns to make a smaller version. It’s the perfect last-minute gift to whip up for class Valentine’s Day gifts, Easter eggs or Easter baskets, or Christmas holiday gift or stocking stuffer. It’s also suitable as a market prep product for craft fairs since it’s so fast and easy to make.
The PDF pattern includes written pattern instructions along with a detailed photo tutorial to guide you through the doll-making process.

Oh my gosh, it's adorable! I'm gonna try and make it for my friend's birthday... I hope she likes it! Edit: She did!!

[@SweetSofties]

Yay! What alovely gift!!

[@shambhavijha5779]

Here’s a tip for anyone using normal weight 4 yarn instead of chunky/chenille yarn: If u want to make the beak or feet a bit bigger, after attaching, instead of chaining 1, chain 2 and SC in the first chain. Then u can attach it or whatever.

[@DocBree13]

Thank you so much! I made the little chick and he’s so adorable. I didn’t have any eyes, so I used a knot of yarn (my first time trying that) and it turned out great :)

[@oodlesacaboodles]

Thank You!! Thank You!! Just what I'm needing.

So glad you like it!!

[@RivenFree]

Great tutorial! I love the clever way you attach the beak/feet and close up the end.

[@SweetSofties]

Aww thanks!!

[@jodoodles295]

This is so adorable! You have the best videos-easy to follow, great video and audio quality and I appreciate that you don't have any music playing in the backgroud (it's distracting when you're trying to learn). I know these videos are time consuming to produce so I just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you do. Thank you!

[@SweetSofties]

Aww, you're so kind, thanks for the positive and helpful input!! That's so encouraging for me to hear as a novice video creator :D

[@kathywelch8722]

Your little bird and duck are so cute. Thank you for sharing your pattern. 💜🙏🏻

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you! 😊

[@irinaplays5293]

Thank you for this amazing pattern! It really does take 10 minutes to complete on your second try, because then you know how to make the beak and limbs. I used a 3.5mm crochet hook, number 4 yarn, and it still was the same size that it was in the video! Great pattern, and it is great for all yarn sizes!

[@SweetSofties]

I'm so glad you like it, thank you for the kind words!!

[@Smoothie1025]

Omfg, i am in love with your voice, so cute thanks for the video as well

[@SweetSofties]

Yay, so happy to hear that!!

[@Cecilieklk]

Thank you im gonna try it soon

[@SweetSofties]

Awesome! Look out for my free "Bunny Puff" tutorial coming soon!

[@ilincaw]

Thank you, this was the best video with best description I have every come across. I was actually able to crochet 3 duckies and I am the most beginner at this ever. I was wondering if I want to make a big duckie would I just increase the number from 8 to like 24? thank you.

[@SweetSofties]

Thanks for the lovely feedback!! I'm humbled and congrats on crocheting THREE duckies!! Great job! If you want to make it bigger, you can increase to 24 instead of just to 16 sts in teh pattern. To go up to 24 sts, you need to: (sc, inc) x 8. Then, you will need a couple more rounds of "sc around" to make it not only wider but longer, too. Hope this helps!

[@ilincaw]

@@SweetSofties Aww thank you so much really appreciate your reply. I am now at 5 duckies and they are getting better and better each time. I truly meant it when I say your video and your way of teaching is the only one I was able to follow. lol. Thank you again for the information on making it bigger. I will try that next. Have a great day. 🥰❤️😊

[@SweetSofties]

@@ilincaw that’s really awesome, five duckies!!! You’re rocking it! I’m glad you find my videos helpful; that’s really good feedback for me to hear from beginners! I hope you’ll enjoy some of my other tutorials on my channel as you branch out into more amigurumi!

[@Art.29]

Hi, I really love this tutorial but I was just wondering if we want to make a mallard duck in which rows should we do the colour changes bc the tutorial does not mention it, thanks 😊😊❤❤❤

[@SweetSofties]

The PDF pattern (free download on my blog, check the link in the descriptoin box) will have that info for you! :)

[@Art.29]

Tysm😊😊😊

[@CrazyKayak4life]

I have really been wanting to crochet but my patience is limited, I tried this and it wasn’t that long! Adorable! Also I don’t have the eyes you used, I have black and white yarn. How do I add eyes with these?

[@jenchem42]

Hi! Thank you for such an adorable pattern, and also for the detailed video tutorial. I'm new to amigurumi (and, basically, crochet in general.) Question: For the PDF mallard pattern, you specify to change colors, but if I change colors "in the round" I will end up with a very jagged, uneven color change. Do you recommend a specific method to avoid the color jag?

[@SweetSofties]

Hello! You can do the invisible color change method if you'd like! Here's my video tutorial on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGirZKqcp92pq6c

[@angelahayes2601]

Thank you so much. I was wondering where you got your pink tool?

[@DocBree13]

She has a link to them in the description Edit:looks like they’re sold out :(

[@SweetSofties]

Here's the link but it's currently out of stock online! crafteasytools.com/sweet-softies/

[@Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm9874]

Can you please explain how to do the beak ?I don’t really understand 😢

[@emiaali2224]

Can I make this with a magic ring ???? If I can do I have to make 8 sc ????

[@CutesyDaisy]

Yep

[@SweetSofties]

Yes, you can do a MR to start! :) The chain method is easier with plush yarn because it's hard to pull the magic ring closed without brekaing the yarn.

[@user-bw5cg7bd7k]

hi! could i sell the duck I've made with your pattern if i have added credits? i am planning to sell some cute small keychains similar to this and maybe more in the future. i really love how simple and cute this is, i added some wings and it turned out adorable! 💓💓 also, could i sell some other patterns made by you if i added credits?

[@SweetSofties]

Yes, you can sell finished dolls/items (not the pattern instructions) and credit me with my name and site, such as: "Pattern design by Sweet Softies, www.sweetsofties.com" So awesome to know you enjoyed my pattern!!

[@paigevasquez2424]

How can I add a little bow on him? Like a little embroidered on one?

[@SweetSofties]

If you'd like to embroider a bow, you can use yarn and a yarn needle, and embroider a bow shape to where you want!

[@sophieslayzzz]

Hello, I want to make this but I don't have a darning needle (Is that what you call it?) Is there any other way to close it up?

[@creative-asmae3966]

I was just like u, but i found a solution. So u need to have a separate yarn that u will close with, and then take ur hook and insert into one of the stitches and pull the yarn and repeat the process into other stitches, each one alone. Hope that helps ❤, and if u didn’t understand something about this process feel free to ask me :)

[@sophieslayzzz]

​@@creative-asmae3966 Thanks!

[@SweetSofties]

If I don't have a yarn needle, I just use my hook to pull the yarn strand in!

[@sophieslayzzz]
