Supplies you'll need to crochet Psyduck
General supplies:
- Crochet hook 2,5 mm for small version and 6 mm for large version, I always use clover amour hooks for my projects!
- Sewing needle
- Stuffing
- Stitch marker
With Amigurumi you guage doesn’t matter much. Using smaller hook and yarn will make you finished Psyduck smaller, and bigger hook and yarn will make him bigger. Just make sure that your yarn and hook fits together and makes a tight fabric so the stuffing won’t show through!
For a smaller version, about 10 cm tall, or 4 inches, you will need the following yarn.
I reccomend Hobbii Rainbow cotton 8/4. This yarn is a 100% cotton and very nice to work with! With this yarn, I use a 2,5 mm hook (or a B-1 or C-2 should work too!). If Rainbow cotton is sold out, I can also recommend Friends cotton from Hobbii as a direct substitute.
The list is for a regular colored Psyduck, If you’d prefer a shiny version use shades of blue rather than yellow.
- 1 x Yellow, I recommend Sunny Yellow (55)
- 1 x Light Yellow, I recommend Pastel Yellos (53)
- A bit of black for pupils, hair and nostrils
- A bit of white for the eyes
If you’d like a much bigger crochet Psyduck, I got you! I also made a larger version of Psyduck! Psyduck is about 30 cm tall, or 12 inches.
To make a giant and soft Psyduck, you will need Hobbii Baby Snuggle yarn. This yarn is a chenille yarn, which means your Psyduck will be huge and so fluffy! With this yarn I use a 6 mm hook (or a J-10 hook). You will need the following colors:
- 1 x Yellow, I recommend Sunshine (37)
- Light yellow, I recommend Baby Duck (07)
- A bit of black for pupils, hair and nostrils
- A bit of white for the eyes
If Baby Snuggle is unavailable other chenille yarn in the same thickness, like Honey Bunny, also from Hobbii, is a great substitute.
