Let’s visit Disney World by making this cute Donnie the duck crochet pattern. It’s perfect for both beginners and experienced crocheters, capturing all the fun and nostalgia of the beloved Disney characters.
In this tutorial, you can use a wide variety of yarn types, but this tutorial was made with Dolce by Yarn Art and a 4.5mm hook, which makes the plushie’s size about 12cm. If you use a thicker/ thinner yarn weight, you will get a bigger/ smaller size.
This tutorial contains how to make the head, beak, body, arms, feet, hat, bow, and how to sew them together.
This design gives a touch of Disney magic to your home, a delightful gift for children, collectors, or Disney lovers, and it can also be used as a keychain.
