Friends, today I’m excited to share a fun and creative design with you – a Quacking Christmas Tree Amigurumi! This adorable pattern features a hidden duck inside a pine tree or a duck dressed in a festive pine tree costume, making it a surprising and charming addition to your Christmas decor. It’s a perfect blend of creativity and festive spirit!

While the design is simple, creating this layered tree design will take a bit of time, as you’ll need to crochet both the tree and the hidden duck inside. The hidden duck is a delightful surprise, and the pattern includes helpful photos to guide you through this unique creation.
