A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet duck keychain pattern: a Duck with Bread Keychain amigurumi, about 6 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2 mm hook. It is a round yellow duckling with an orange bill, pink cheeks and a beige slice of bread with a golden crust hanging from its beak, with a ring on top for your keys. You need about 45 m of yarn: 20 m yellow, 5 m golden brown, 5 m silver, 5 m beige, 5 m orange and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. It works as a bag charm or a keychain for anyone who feeds ducks at the pond, and it makes a quick gift. Turn the 3D model around and follow the pattern round by round.

How to crochet the Duck with Bread Keychain

Beginner-friendly · 6 cm tall · about 2 h · fingering yarn · 2 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 6 pieces in rounds: Duckling ball, Bill, Bread slice, Cheek ×2, Key ring loop (42 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 5 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

    1. Duckling ball is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Bill → duckling ball. Centre: in round 13, on the centre front line. Sew around the opening (12 st); the seam covers rounds 12–14 of the duckling ball, about 5 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Bread slice → bill. Centre: in round 3, on the centre top line. Sew the piece on by its start (the magic ring side); it touches rounds 1–2 of the bill (all the way round). It points forward.
    1. Cheek → duckling ball (make 2). Centre: between rounds 13 and 14, 7 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 12–15 of the duckling ball, about 3 st wide.
    1. Key ring loop → duckling ball. Centre: at the centre of the last round. Stand the joined double circle on its edge and sew it on by its bottom edge only — about 3 st of the edge; the seam covers round 23 of the duckling ball, about 1 st wide. It points up.

    Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

    • Safety eyes with a printed glint 7 mm (on the duckling ball): in round 15, 8 st apart (count along round 15: about 4 st each side of the centre front line).
