A free crochet duck keychain pattern for a tiny yellow duck with an orange bill, a small blue bow tie and a round chain loop on its head. This amigurumi duck has big shiny eyes, rosy cheeks, little wings and a perky tail, so it reads as a duck from every side of your bag. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook, head and body in one piece, and is about 4.5 cm (1.75 in) tall with the loop; the bill, wings, feet, bow and cheeks are sewn on. Follow the row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and rotate the interactive 3D model to check each piece.
