Yarn - 3 x 50g/93 yd ball of worsted weight yarn in desired colors.
I used: Paintbox yarns cotton aran in Ballet pink and Sea-foam blue
Rico Creative Cotton in Pastel yellow
The pattern can be made with any sport or worsted weight yarn. The size of the toy may vary
depending on the size of hook and yarn used.
NOTES
• Head and body of the chicks are worked in one piece. Beginning at the top of the head, working
down of the body.
• The wings and beak are made separately and later attached to the body.
• Work in continuous rounds without joining the round with a slip stitch. Do not turn at the end of
each round.
• Firmly stuff as you work and overstuff slightly. This will allow for the stuffing to fill out the shape
after the crocheting is done.
Round 1: 6 sc in MR [6]
Round 2: (inc in each st) x 6 [12]
Round 3: (sc; inc) x 6 [18]
Round 4: (2 sc; inc) x 6 [24]
Round 5: (3 sc; inc) x 6 [30]
Round 6: (4 sc; inc) x 6 [36]
Round 7-12: sc in each st around [36]
Round 13: (4 sc; dec) x 6 [30]
Round 14: (3 sc; dec) x 6 [24]
Firmly stuff the head and body with fiberfill. F/O and thread tail end of yarn onto a tapestry needle, insert
the needle in and out of the remaining sts, pull tight to close and weave in end.
WINGS ( M A K E 2)
Wings are worked in rows. Ch 1 at the beginning of the row doesn’t count as a stitch.
Do not turn around after row 4. Work 8 sc evenly on the other side of the wing. F/O leaving a long tail for
sewing. The finished wing shape is similar to a half circle.
BEAK
Using a contrast color yarn, begin with an MR.
Round 1: 6 sc in MR [6]
Round 2: (2 sc, inc) x 3 [9]
Round 3: sc in each st around [9]
Sl st into the next stitch and F/O leaving a tail for sewing. Do not stuff the beak.
FINISHING
1. Position the wings on the sides of the body using eyes as a center point. Make sure the curved
edge of the wing faces the front of the body. The wings are attached to the body from the top
only, leaving the bottom portion open, so they can flap.
2. Place the beak between the eyes on rounds 10 to 12. Sew it neatly.
