Friends, today I am with you with a very creative design. We can say that it is a duck amigurumi toy hidden inside a pine tree or dressed in a pine tree costume. I think it is a very surprising design for Christmas and I will make this toy for myself. The toy is actually simple to make but since it is a layered tree design, it will take some time to make the toy.
