PDF crochet pattern · Mini duck amigurumi keychain, approx. [XX] cm · Beginner · Written instructions with photos · Instant download — no physical item shipped
Small enough to clip to your keys, finished in an evening, and made from the leftovers already in your basket.
The duck is a simple amigurumi — a round body, a round head, a little orange beak and two webbed feet. What lifts it above every other beginner duck is the bonnet: a soft brimmed hat with ties that fasten under the chin, worked separately so it comes off and you can make three in different colours for the same duck.
That removable hat is also why people make more than one. It turns a single pattern into something you can keep customising, and it's the detail that makes it read as a gift rather than a practice project.
Beginner level, no complicated shaping, and a handful of grams of yarn per duck.

Amigurumi worked tightly comes out smaller. That's fine for a keychain — tight tension is what keeps the stuffing hidden.
