Mochi tried to nap on my chenille yarn three separate times while I designed this one, which tells you exactly how soft this project is. I've been calling this little guy my Bloom Chick — half duck, half flower, entirely too cute — and I tested the pattern until my kitchen table looked like a craft store exploded in pastel pink and yellow. If you've never made amigurumi before, don't worry, friend, I'll walk you through every round.

Meet the Bloom Chick: Your Materials Round-Up

Materials flat lay for the crochet flower duck amigurumi, including chenille yarn, hook, and safety eyes

Before any hook touches yarn, let's talk supplies, because the right materials make this whole project so much easier. I built this pattern around super bulky chenille yarn in white, pastel pink, and yellow — chenille gives the petals and body that plush, almost velvety texture without needing extra fluffing tricks.

  • Yarn: super bulky chenille in white, pastel pink, and yellow
  • Hook: 4.5 mm
  • Eyes: 10 mm safety eyes
  • Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
  • Finishing: yarn needle and stitch markers

The finished chick stands about 14 cm tall, and every part — head, body, flower hood ring, seven petals, two wings, a beak, and two feet — gets crocheted separately before assembly. Work in continuous rounds unless a step tells you otherwise, and keep your stitches tight. Loose stitches mean stuffing peeks through, and nobody wants a lumpy duck.

Rounding Out the Head, Row by Row

Six rounds of single crochet forming the rounded head of this crochet flower duck amigurumi pattern

The head is where I always tell beginners to slow down, because this is where your amigurumi either looks intentional or a little wonky (my first attempt leaned wonky, for the record). Start with a magic ring of 6, then increase every round: R2 brings you to 12 stitches, R3 to 18, R4 to 24, R5 to 30.

Then the shaping settles in

  • R6–R9: sc around, holding steady at 30 stitches
  • R10: (3 sc, dec) x6 = 24
  • R11: (2 sc, dec) x6 = 18, leaving an opening for neck attachment

Insert your 10 mm safety eyes between rounds 7 and 8, about 8 stitches apart — mark the spots with stitch markers first so you're not eyeballing it mid-stuff. Pack the fiberfill in firmly before closing round 11; a soft head will droop once the petals go on top.

Stitching the Beak and Bringing the Face to Life

This tiny yellow beak is only 12 stitches around at its widest, but it's the piece that makes this whole thing read as a duck instead of a fuzzy pink blob. Chain 5, then work into the 2nd chain from your hook: sc, 2 sc, 2 sc in the last stitch, then back down the opposite side with 2 sc, sc, inc — that's Round 1, sitting at 8 stitches.

  1. Round 2: inc, 2 sc, 2 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc = 12
  2. Round 3: sc around = 12, then fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing

Center the beak on the face with its top edge landing one round below the eyes, and space your eyes 6–7 stitches apart for that classic wide-eyed chick look. I like adding a tiny embroidered smile and a soft pink blush at this point — totally optional, but it's the detail that made mine feel finished rather than just assembled.

Building the Body: From Egg Shape to Little Duck

Egg-shaped white body rounds stacked to show the growth of the crochet flower duck amigurumi torso

The body follows almost the exact same increase pattern as the head through Round 5 — MR 6, then inc x6, (sc, inc) x6, (2 sc, inc) x6, (3 sc, inc) x6 — landing you at 30 stitches. From there:

  • R6–R10: sc around, holding at 30
  • R11: (3 sc, dec) x6 = 24
  • R12: sc around = 24, then finish

You'll end up with a stout little egg shape about 6.5 cm wide and 8.5 cm tall. Stuff it firmly as you go rather than waiting until the end — trying to cram fiberfill into a finished shell is how you get lopsided ducks (ask me how I know). Leave the top opening free so you can sew the head on with the face centered, right where it belongs.

Tiny Feet, Tiny Wings, Big Personality

Tiny yellow feet and white wings ready to be stitched onto the flower duck amigurumi body

These small pieces take almost no time but add so much charm. For the feet (make 2, in yellow): MR 6, then inc x6 = 12, then sc around = 12. Lightly stuff or flatten them to about 2.5 cm wide — flatter feet actually help your chick sit steadier.

For the wings (make 2, in white): MR 6, then (sc, inc) x3 = 9, then two rounds of sc around at 9 stitches. Fold each wing flat and sew the opening closed rather than stuffing it — you want about 3 cm of soft, flat fabric.

  • Feet placement: sew to the lower front of the body, about 7 stitches apart
  • Wings placement: sew to each side of the body, slightly below the neck seam

Take an extra minute to check your feet are level before you knot off — a chick that tips forward is a lot less charming than one that sits proudly.

Seven Petals, One Very Pink Afternoon

Seven soft pink petals lined up for the crochet flower duck amigurumi's blooming hood

I won't pretend this step is glamorous — you're making the same small piece seven times in a row, and by petal five my hands were on autopilot. But this is also the step that turns a plain chick into a Bloom Chick, so stick with it. Each petal starts with MR 6, then inc x6 = 12, (sc, inc) x6 = 18, sc around = 18, and finally (sc, dec) x6 = 12 to shape the tip, closing with sc 6.

Lightly stuff each petal and flatten the top edge before closing — a fully stuffed petal looks stiff, while a flattened one drapes softly around the face, which is the whole point.

Each finished petal should be softly rounded and about 4 cm tall. Make all seven before you move on, and lay them out in a circle just to admire your progress — I always do.

The Flower Hood: Where It All Clicks Together

Now for the piece that ties everything together, literally. Chain 18 and join it into a ring for the flower hood. Work R1 as sc around = 18, R2 as (2 sc, inc) x6 = 24, and R3 as sc around = 24.

  1. Sew the petals: attach all seven evenly around the outer edge of the ring, letting them overlap slightly so there are no gaps
  2. Slide the hood on: fit the ring around the head and stitch it neatly at the neck line
  3. Center it: make sure one petal sits directly at the top front, framing the face

This is the fussiest assembly step in the whole pattern, so use stitch markers to space your petals evenly before you commit to sewing. Take your time here — a slightly crooked flower hood is the single fastest way to make an otherwise perfect chick look off.

The Final Check: Making Sure Your Bloom Chick Blooms Evenly

Before you call this one done, give your chick the same once-over I do with every finished amigurumi — front, side, and back. Turning it slowly in your hands catches the little asymmetries that are easy to miss head-on.

  • Eyes: level, about 8 stitches apart
  • Beak: centered, one round below the eyes
  • Feet: evenly spaced and angled slightly outward
  • Wings: level on both sides
  • Petals: evenly spaced around the hood, no bare gaps

Weave in every loose end and give the stuffing a gentle reshape wherever it looks uneven — a little shaping goes a long way toward that balanced, adorable finish. Your finished chick should stand about 14 cm tall. And a quick note for gifting: this is a plush for display and hugging, not for the washing machine — spot clean only.

Steps
1
Gather your materials
Set out your chenille yarn in white, pastel pink, and yellow, your 4.5 mm hook, safety eyes, fiberfill, yarn needle, and stitch markers. This tutorial works in continuous rounds unless stated otherwise.
2
Crochet the head
Work R1 (MR 6) through R5 with increases up to 30 stitches, hold steady through R6–R9, then decrease through R10–R11 down to 18. Insert the safety eyes between R7 and R8, 8 stitches apart, stuff firmly, and leave the neck opening.
3
Make the beak and face
Chain 5 and build the oval beak up to 12 stitches over 3 rounds, then fasten off. Sew it centered on the face, one round below the eyes, spaced 6–7 stitches apart.
4
Crochet the body
Increase from a magic ring 6 up to 30 stitches through R5, hold at 30 through R10, then decrease to 24 by R12. Stuff firmly as you go and sew the head on, face centered.
5
Make the feet and wings
Crochet 2 yellow feet (MR 6 to 12 stitches) and lightly stuff or flatten them. Crochet 2 white wings (MR 6 to 9 stitches), fold flat, and sew closed. Attach feet 7 stitches apart at the lower front, and wings to each side below the neck seam.
6
Crochet seven matching petals
Work each pink petal from a magic ring 6 up to 18 stitches, then decrease and close with sc 6, lightly stuffing and flattening the top edge. Repeat for all 7 petals, aiming for a rounded 4 cm height each.
7
Build and attach the flower hood ring
Chain 18, join into a ring, and work up to 24 stitches over 3 rounds. Sew the 7 petals evenly around the outer edge with slight overlap, then slide the hood onto the head and stitch it at the neck line with one petal centered at the top front.
8
Final placement check and finishing
Check that eyes, beak, feet, wings, and petals are all evenly placed and level from every angle. Weave in all loose ends, gently reshape the stuffing for a balanced finish, and spot clean only to keep your Bloom Chick looking its best.

Your Questions, Answered

Can I use a different yarn weight instead of super bulky chenille?

You can, but expect a smaller finished size and less of that soft petal texture. If you swap to worsted weight, size down your hook to about 3.5 mm and expect to add a round or two to reach similar proportions.

Are safety eyes okay for a baby or toddler?

Safety eyes are secure once properly locked in place, but I'd still avoid gifting this to a very young child unsupervised — embroidered eyes with yarn are a safer swap for babies under three.

What if my petals come out uneven sizes?

It happens to everyone, myself included — count your stitches at the end of each round rather than trusting your eyes, and if one petal is stubbornly off, it's faster to frog and redo it than to fudge the assembly later.

Final Thoughts

This one took me three tries to get the petal spacing right, and I still think that's part of the charm — handmade is allowed to be a little imperfect. Take your time with the flower hood especially, and don't be afraid to unpick a petal or two if the spacing bugs you. Happy stitching,

Wren
