Why You'll Love This Duck and Goose Trinket Tray Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings together a practical accessory and playful amigurumi friends in one project. I enjoy how the shallow tray is formed with simple increases and a BLO round to create a clean rim that naturally curves inwards. The goose and mini ducky are small, satisfying makes that allow for quick shaping and personality through eye placement and beaks. Sewing them onto the tray turns three separate pieces into a cohesive, displayable scene I always enjoy gifting to fellow crafters.

Switch Things Up

I love personalizing this pattern by changing the tray color to match my craft room; try pastel shades for a softer look or bright colors for a playful vibe.

I sometimes make the tray larger by adding extra increase rounds and more rounds at the rim to create a deeper dish for larger items.

If you want an extra-sturdy tray, use tighter tension or a slightly smaller hook than recommended to make firmer fabric.

Swap the safety eyes for embroidered eyes or felt circles if you prefer a non-safety-eye finish, especially if giving to young children.

For a vintage look, use a variegated yarn for the base or choose neutrals and add tiny embroidered flowers inside the tray.

Make a set by crocheting multiple matching mini duckies in different colors and arranging them around the tray as a decorative display.

I sometimes add a small piece of felt to the underside of the tray to protect surfaces and give a neater bottom finish.

Try using cotton yarn for a more rigid tray that holds shape well, or softer acrylic for a plush finish on the characters.

For gift versions, stitch a little loop to the edge of the tray and include a tiny keyring for a portable keepsake option.

Experiment with changing the duck or goose beak color or shape to create different expressions and personalities for each figure.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the BLO round on the tray will prevent the rim from curving inward; be sure to work Round 9 in the back loops only to form the tray edge. ✗ Forgetting to insert safety eyes at the suggested rounds can make placement awkward later; add the eyes between the recommended rounds before you stuff too much. ✗ Overstuffing small amigurumi heads can distort shape and make sewing difficult; stuff gradually and stop when the head is firmly shaped but still pliable. ✗ Not weaving in tails or leaving short sewing tails causes finishing issues; leave long tails for sewing the pieces to the tray and weave in ends as you go.
