Free Crochet Summer Duck Plushie With Removeable Hat

Continuing the summer plushie series, today, I will share a free pattern for this crochet baby duck plushie doll wearing a ruffled bucket hat. The hat is removable, just like in the crochet cactus couple plushies. With the velvety wine red yarn, just see how elegant the ruffled bucket hat looks. We will crochet a chubby duck baby plush that is also low-sew and quick to crochet.

You can also crochet the same bucket hat for the flower duck and the dressed duck plush, too. Without the accessory, you can also make it a baby shower, Thanksgiving, or a fall present. It can sit on your desk and relieve your stress while crocheting. Now, continue reading for the full plushie doll pattern.
