[ENGLISH] Psyduck free amigurumi pattern

I continue making amigurumi inspired by miniature Pokémon. In this case, it's Psyduck, the little duck who has headaches that allow him to explore his psychic powers. I've been looking at different patterns and finally simplified it into this one::

Psyduck amigurumi version

🧵Materials

In this pattern, I used yellow, cream, white, and black yarn along with a 0.5mm crochet hook. However, you can use any thickness you like as long as you use the appropriate hook. Additionally, I used a needle, scissors, and cotton for stuffing.

✅ Assembly and final comments

Sew all the pieces together and cut the yarn ends. Sew 3 strands at the top of the head to create hair, two strands for the eyes, and two strands on the beak to shape the nose.  

Overall, this pattern is quite simple; the difficulty arose from using sewing thread instead of yarn. You can use any size of yarn, and it will result in a doll with the same shape but different size.
