About the Pattern

The pattern is no-sew except for the stitching of the little beak and the hiding of your yarn tail at the end.

The wings are worked in the front loop only and you will use the leftover back loop in the next round to maintain your stitch count.

Yarn

I chose to use chenille yarn for this chick crochet pattern because I wanted a soft fuzzy look. However, feel free to experiment with different yarns but don’t forget to adjust your hook size accordingly.

This will yield differences in size and the overall finished look but be mindful that if you use a thinner yarn, you’ll most likely need a different option for the eyes as the chicks are already quite small.

For the large chick pictured below, I used super bulky yarn and a 6mm crochet hook. I also increased the size of the eyes based on preference.

Finished Size

The finished chick measures approximately 1.5″ tall x 2″ wide (4cm x 5cm). Size may vary depending on tension and materials used.

Gauge

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.

Notes

• Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.

Pattern Instructions

Chick (pale yellow)

Tip: If you’re struggling to close the magic ring, ch 2 and sc in the 2nd ch from hook instead.

R1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)

R2: [Inc] x6 (12)

R3: [Sc, inc] x6 (18)

R4: Sc, inc, [2 sc, inc] x5, sc (24)

R5-6: [Sc] x24 (24) 2 rounds

R7: 6 sc, [FLO sl st, ch 2, hdc in second ch from hook, FLO sl st in same st], 10 sc, [FLO sl st, ch 2, hdc in second ch from hook, FLO sl st in same st], 6 sc

In R8 you will sc into the leftover back loop from R7 underneath each wing.

R8-9: [Sc] x24 (24) 2 rounds

Insert safety eyes between R5 and R6, approximately 5 sts apart and 2 sts away from the wings on either side.

Using orange yarn, sew the beak over a single stitch between R5 and R6 and centred between the eyes. I stitched over it 3 times to get my desired look.

R10: Sc, invdec, [2 sc, invdec] x5, sc (18)

Start stuffing and continue to stuff as you go.

R11: [Sc, invdec] x6 (12)

R12: [Invdec] x6 (6)

Cut the yarn leaving a tail and pull through last st. Weave the yarn tail through the front loop only of the final round and pull to close. Hide the end inside the chick.

To finish, take a strand of yellow yarn, fold in half and draw through a st on the top of the head leaving a loop. Draw ends through the loop and pull to tighten. Trim the ends to your desired length (approximately 1/4”).

Tip: Chenille yarn has a tendency to shed, try using a matching acrylic yarn instead for the hair tuft.
