What You’ll Need

Before we jump into the crochet process, let’s gather our materials:

Materials List:

• Yarn: Choose a vibrant yellow for the duck and a contrasting color for the lining.
• Crochet Hook: Size G/4.0mm or as recommended for your yarn.
• Scissors: For snipping yarn.
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.
• Stitch Markers: To keep track of your rounds.
• Stuffing: For the duck’s head if desired.
• Safety Eyes: For a charming face.

Optional:

• Keychain Clip: If you want to turn your duck bag into a cute keychain accessory!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Round 1: Starting the Base

Begin with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join). Inside the circle, work 6 single crochets (sc). Pull the ring tight, and place a stitch marker to keep track of your first round.

Round 2: Increase in each stitch (12 sc).

Round 3: (1 sc, 1 increase) around (18 sc).

Round 4: (2 sc, 1 increase) around (24 sc).

Forming the Body

Continue the pattern to create the sides of the bag:

Rounds 5-10: Work in sc around without increasing (24 sc each round).

Shaping the Duck Head

After creating the body, we will add a touch of personality:

Rounds 11-12: (3 sc, 1 decrease) around (18 sc on Round 11; 14 sc on Round 12).

Round 13: Time to add the safety eyes. Position them on the head 3-4 stitches apart for balance. Then, continue with (2 sc, 1 decrease) for the next two rounds to create the beak.

Beak: Change yarn color to orange and work 4 sc in a straight row, turning at the end. Attach securely to the front of the head.

Making the Handle

Use a long chain stitch (approx. 60 chains) for the bag’s handle. Attach one end to the top side of the bag with a slip stitch, then secure it and weave in any loose ends.

Finishing Touches

Consider lining your bag with fabric for added durability and a stylish finish. You can also embellish with small crochet flowers or buttons to personalize your duck bag further.

Tips

• Keep your tension consistent for a neatly finished product.
• Use a stitch marker to track your rounds, especially when increasing or decreasing.
• Don’t hesitate to experiment with colors for a unique twist!
