Crochet Rubber Duck Earrings
Intro: Crochet Rubber Duck Earrings
Ducks are amazing, but rubber ducks are even better! Why not wear these cute rubber ducks on your ears in crochet form? Using minimal yarn and materials these are a great summer craft that takes only a few minutes and even fewer supplies.
In this Instructables, I will teach you how to crochet your own rubber ducks and how to turn them into delightfully cute earrings that you can wear for fun. This is a beginner level pattern and should take around 30 minutes to complete a set.
STEP 1: Begin
Body x2:
Round 1: Start 6 SC in an MC [6]
Round 2-3 (2 rounds): SC in each st around [6]
Round 4: INC in the next 3 sts, SC in the next 3 sts [9]
Round 5: INC in the next 6 sts, SC in next 3 sts [15]

FO, sew the hole closed and hide the end using a yarn needle
Wing x4:
SC 4 in an MC (4)
FO, leaving a tail to sew
Beak x2:
CH 2, turn, SK 1 st, SC in the next CH. (1)
FO leaving a tail to tie.
STEP 2: Assembly and Finish
1. Tie the beak to the front of the body. (The back should be where your increases are to imitate a tail.) Hide the ends within the duck.
2. Sew the wings on either side of the duck. Hide the ends within the duck.
3. Using the thread sew the seed beads on as eyes on and above either side of the beak.
4. Using pliers open the jump ring and guide it behind a stitch on the back of the duck's neck.
5. Place the earring hook on the jump ring, with the needle end facing the back of the duck.
6. Close the jump ring with the pliers.
CONGRATS! You now have your very own crocheted rubber duck earring pair. Feel free to send me pictures, I’d love to see!
