Though fall and winter are approaching, the charm of duck amigurumi toys remains timeless. Today, I’m thrilled to share an adorable duck amigurumi pattern featuring a cute little hat. This toy showcases a chubby structure and a bright orange beak, making it irresistibly cute. What makes this design unique is the stuffed wings, which is a rare but delightful feature for such toys, as most ducks have unstuffed wings.
