Body:

1. Starting Chain:
   • Use Sun Soaked Blanket Yarn.

2. First Row:
   • Skip the first chain, make a single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook. Continue with single crochets in each chain across.
   • At the end, you should have 16 stitches.
3. Round Edges:
   • At the end of the row, single crochet around the edge to round off.
   • Continue single crochets around the bottom.
   • 
4. Increasing Rounds:
   • Continue rounds while adding extra stitches at the ends. You should increase by making two single crochets in the end stitches until the piece measures about 8-12 inches in height.
   • Keep going until you have the desired oval size (approximately five rounds).
   • 
5. Straight Up Without Increases:
   • Crochet around without increasing for about 10 rows or more until reaching the desired height for the body.

Arms:

1. Create Wing Shape:

   • Do additional rounds with single crochets without increasing.
2. Attachment:
   • Attach the arms to the body at the approximate position where Psyduck’s wings would be using the yarn needle.

Legs:

1. Feet Shape:
   • Use Butter Cup Baby Blanket Yarn.
   • Start with a chain of 6 stitches for each of the four pieces of the feet.
   • Skip one chain and single crochet in the rest.
   • Turn and crochet back but stop one stitch before the last stitch to create a foot-like shape.
2. Stitch Together:
   • Weave the pointed ends together and stuff each little foot piece.
   • Stitch the four pieces together for each foot and leave an opening for stuffing.
3. Attachment:
   • Attach feet to the bottom of the body loosely so they can move.

Tail:

1. Circular Tail Base:
   • Start with a chain of 12 stitches.
   • Connect the ends to form a circle.
   • Do single crochets around the circle, increasing as needed to shape the tail.
2. Shape and Attach:
   • Shape it in a way that it gets wider as you go.
   • Attach to the bottom back of the body using the yarn needle.

Beak and Face:

   • Chain 7 stitches.
   • Do 2 rows of single crochets without increases.
2. Form Top of Beak:
   • Continue rounds of single crochets while increasing at the ends to get to the desired shape and length.
   • Stitch the top and bottom pieces together and stuff lightly.
3. Attachment:
   • Attach to the face in the middle of the body slightly above the arms.
4. Eye and Nostril Details:
   • Use Black Acrylic Yarn.
   • Stitch small nostrils on the beak.
   • For eyes, create small simple stitches or find small eye buttons to attach.

Finishing:

1. Stuffing:
   • Stuff the entire body generously with polyfill.
   • Close up the top by continuing the reducing rounds.
   • Finish the top by adding little hair pieces with yarn for extra detail.
   • 
2. Secure and Trim:
   • Secure all the pieces together by stitching.
   • Trim any loose ends to clean up the amigurumi.
