Crochet Tutorial: Duckling Spring Flower Cart Jewelry Box – Crochet.

This sweet crochet jewelry box opens like a tiny spring flower shop, with a cream suitcase-style base, upright back wall, string lights, two arched windows, and a hanging “Bloom Cart” sign. Inside sits a wheeled flower cart filled with tulips, daisies, lavender stems, baby’s breath, paper rolls, a potted plant, watering can, wrapped gift, picnic bundles, and a duckling shopkeeper in a blue coat and brown hat.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Pattern Overview

This free crochet pattern is written in US crochet terms and is designed as a decorative amigurumi jewelry box. The finished piece has a soft rectangular suitcase shape with a low front wall and a tall upright back wall, just like the image. The duckling stands outside the box and holds the flower cart handle.

The project combines amigurumi, flat panel crochet, embroidery, and small decorative pieces. The jewelry box is stabilized with plastic canvas or thin cardboard so the base, walls, and lid stay upright. Most pieces are worked with a 2.5 mm hook for firm stitches.

Finished size will vary slightly with yarn tension. Using DK weight cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, the finished jewelry box measures about 9 in wide, 5 in deep, and 6 in tall when open. The duckling is about 4.25 in tall including the hat.

Skill Level

Intermediate beginner to intermediate. A confident beginner can follow this pattern if they are comfortable with single crochet, increases, decreases, crocheting flat panels, sewing pieces together, and working small details.

Materials

• DK weight cotton yarn in cream, pale yellow, light blue, beige, tan, brown, dark brown, white, yellow, green, dark green, pink, red, purple, lavender, soft blue, dusty rose, gray, and peach-orange.
• 2.5 mm crochet hook for most parts.
• 2.0 mm crochet hook for tiny flowers, light bulbs, embroidery details, and labels.
• 6 mm black safety eyes for the duckling, or black embroidery thread.
• Fiberfill stuffing.
• Plastic canvas, thin cardboard, or firm felt for box support.
• Tapestry needle.

• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet

• dec = invisible single crochet decrease
• BLO = back loop only
• FLO = front loop only
• st = stitch
• sts = stitches
• FO = fasten off

Gauge and Stitch Style

For the amigurumi pieces, use tight single crochet stitches so the stuffing does not show. The duckling, cart, and accessories should feel firm but not stiff. For the jewelry box panels, work evenly and keep your stitch height consistent so the panels sit flat against the stabilizer.

• Gauge for box panels: 8 sc and 9 rows measure about 1 in.
• Gauge for amigurumi rounds: 8 sc measure about 1 in across.
• Use a smaller hook if your stitches are loose.
• Use a larger hook only if your fabric becomes too stiff to sew.

Important Construction Notes

The jewelry box is built from separate cream crochet panels. Each panel is crocheted first, then wrapped around a matching plastic canvas or cardboard insert. This creates the rounded but firm suitcase shape seen in the photo.

The upright back wall is attached to the rear edge of the base at about a 95-degree angle. This slight backward lean helps the lid stay open and gives room for the flower cart and decorations inside.

The front wall is lower than the back wall so the flower cart and accessories remain visible. The side walls are medium height and join the front wall to the back wall, forming a shallow open box.

Jewelry Box Base Panel

Use cream yarn and the 2.5 mm hook. This rectangular panel forms the bottom floor of the jewelry box. Work in rows, chaining 1 and turning at the end of each row.

1. Ch 43.
2. R1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and across. 42 sts.
3. R2-R38: Ch 1, turn, sc across. 42 sts.
4. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Cut one plastic canvas rectangle measuring about 8.75 in wide by 4.75 in deep. Place it behind the crochet panel. Make a second identical cream panel by repeating R1-R38. Sandwich the stabilizer between both panels.

Join the two panels by working sc evenly around all four edges through both layers. Work 3 sc in each corner. FO and weave in the end. This creates a firm padded floor.

Low Front Wall

The front wall is the rounded cream border visible at the front of the jewelry box. It is low enough to show the stone path and accessories inside.

1. Ch 43.
2. R1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and across. 42 sts.
3. R2-R12: Ch 1, turn, sc across. 42 sts.
4. FO and make a second matching panel.

Cut plastic canvas to match the front wall, about 8.75 in wide by 1.5 in tall. Sandwich it between the two crochet panels. Sc around the edges through both layers, placing 3 sc in each corner. FO and leave a long tail.

Side Walls

Make two matching side walls in cream yarn. Each side wall is a short rectangular panel that connects the front wall to the upright back wall.

1. Ch 24.
2. R1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and across. 23 sts.
3. R2-R12: Ch 1, turn, sc across. 23 sts.
4. FO and make three more panels for two double-layer side walls.

Cut two plastic canvas pieces about 4.75 in wide by 1.5 in tall. Sandwich each insert between two crochet panels. Sc around the edges through both layers, placing 3 sc in each corner. Leave a long tail on each side wall for sewing.

Upright Back Wall and Lid Panel

The back wall is the tall cream panel behind the flower cart. It includes the two arched windows, garland lights, and the “Bloom Cart” sign. It should look like the inside of a suitcase lid.

1. Ch 45.
2. R1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and across. 44 sts.
3. R2-R42: Ch 1, turn, sc across. 44 sts.
4. FO and make a second matching panel.

Cut one plastic canvas rectangle about 9 in wide by 5.5 in tall. Round the top two corners slightly with scissors so the final wall has the soft rounded suitcase shape shown in the image.

Place the insert between the two cream panels. Sc around the sides and top through both layers. On each upper corner, work 3 sc closely together to create a rounded corner. Leave the bottom edge unclosed until after sewing it to the base.

Raised Cream Border Around Back Wall

The image shows a thick rounded border around the upright back wall. This border frames the cream wall and gives the jewelry box a padded suitcase appearance.

1. Join cream yarn at the lower left corner of the back wall.
2. Round 1: Sc evenly up the left side, across the rounded top, and down the right side. Place extra sc on the curved corners so the edge stays smooth.
3. Round 2: Ch 1, turn, sc back along the same edge, working 3 sc into each upper corner area.
4. Round 3: Repeat one more sc row for a thick soft rim.
5. FO and weave in ends.

Assembling the Box Shell

Pin the front wall to the front edge of the base. Sew through the bottom stitches of the front wall and the outer loops of the base edge. Keep the wall standing upright and centered.

Attach the two side walls in the same way. Their front edges should touch the front wall corners. Their back edges should align with the back edge of the base.

Attach the upright back wall last. Sew the bottom edge of the back wall to the rear edge of the base. Sew side edges of the back wall to the rear ends of the side walls. Keep the back wall slightly leaning backward.

Interior Stone Path

The floor inside the jewelry box has a soft gray stone path. Use gray yarn and the 2.0 mm hook. Make small oval stones in several sizes and sew them to the center floor.

3. FO.

Make 8 to 12 extra stems. Sew them into empty spaces in the cart. Bend a few slightly left and right before sewing so the arrangement looks natural and rounded.

Flower Cart Arrangement Guide

• Place the red, pink, and purple tulips on the left side of the cart.
• Place the yellow tulip near the center front.
• Place the lavender stems tall in the back center.
• Place the daisies across the front edge.
• Place baby’s breath between the daisies and tulips.
• Place the two paper rolls at the right back side, angled outward.

After everything is pinned, sew each stem to the inner cart base. Use small stitches and hide knots inside the cart. The arrangement should look full but not overcrowded.

Positioning the Main Pieces

Set the flower cart slightly left of center inside the jewelry box. The cart wheel should face forward. The handles should extend toward the duckling outside the box on the left.

Place the duckling beside the left front corner of the box. Its head should face toward the flower cart. Sew the duckling feet lightly to the outside floor area or leave the duckling removable if preferred.

Place the potted plant near the right back corner. Place the watering can in front of the plant. Place the wrapped gift near the center right on the stone path. Place the picnic bundles at the lower right corner.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the head securely to the body, then sew the jacket in place so it does not slide. Add the wings after the jacket so the yellow wing tips remain visible. Attach the front wing to the flower cart handle for the same storytelling pose as the image.

Embroider two small black eyelashes or short side stitches near the eyes if desired. Add a tiny curved smile under the beak with light brown embroidery thread. Keep facial details minimal so the duckling stays soft and gentle.

Check the back wall decorations before final sewing. The windows should sit evenly on both sides. The sign should be centered. The string lights should form a relaxed garland line across the top.

Care Notes

• Spot clean only with a damp cloth.
• Do not soak the jewelry box because the inner stabilizer may bend.
• Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent yarn colors from fading.
• Let the piece air dry fully before storing jewelry inside.
• This project is decorative and not recommended as a toy for children under 3 years because of small parts.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The base is firm and flat.
• The front wall is lower than the back wall.
• The upright back wall has a thick rounded cream border.
• The “Bloom Cart” sign is centered.
• Both arched windows have white crossbars.
• Seven yellow string lights are sewn across the top.
• The flower cart is full with tulips, daisies, lavender, baby’s breath, and paper rolls.
• The duckling wears a blue jacket and brown hat.
• The potted plant, watering can, gift, and fabric rolls are placed on the right side.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

To preserve the shape, store the jewelry box open in a dry place. Avoid pressing heavy objects against the upright back wall. If the wall begins to lean forward, gently reshape it with your hands and allow it to rest open overnight.

For dust, use a soft makeup brush or clean paintbrush. Brush around the flowers carefully so the petals and stems do not loosen. For deeper cleaning, dab only the affected area with cool water and a small amount of gentle soap.

Keep jewelry pieces dry before placing them inside the box. Sharp earrings or pins may catch on the crochet stitches, so place delicate jewelry in a small fabric pouch before storing it in the box.

Finishing Notes

Your Duckling Spring Flower Cart Jewelry Box is complete when the cream suitcase frame holds its shape, the flower cart sits securely in the center, and the duckling appears to be gently pulling the handle. The tiny flowers, sign, string lights, and accessories create the cozy spring shop scene shown in the image.
