Pattern: How to crochet a cool chick?
Let’s start – Chick – Crochet Pattern
The body – Chick – Crochet Pattern
- The chick is worked in continuous rounds (as a spiral). Use a stitch marker if needed.
- Remember to stuff as you crochet.
With a 2.75 mm crochet and yarn in yellow OR with a 4.5 mm and yarn in yellow:
- Round 1: start 6 sc in a magic ring. (6) – NB: if you work with plush yarn: ch2; make 6 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. (6)
- Round 2: [6 inc]. (12)
- Round 3: [1 inc in the next st, 1 sc]x6. (18)
- Rounds 4-10: [1 sc in all st]. (18)
- Round 11: [1 dec, 1 sc]x6. (12)
Place the eyes between Rounds 9 and 10, spaced by 2 st.
Fill the body with polyfill.
- Round 12: [6 dec]. (6)
Cut the yarn, close the body and fasten off.
The beak – Chick – Crochet Pattern
With a 2.75 mm crochet and yarn in orange OR with a 4.5 mm and yarn in orange:
- Row 1: ch 2. (2)
- Row 2: starting in the 2nd ch from the hook: 1 sc. (1)
Cut the yarn but leave a long tail for sewing. Sew the beak centered below the eyes between Rounds 8 and 9.
It is sometimes hard to sew such small pieces. I only sewed the top of the beak and I added a little bit of glue to the rest of it.
The wings (make 2) – Chick – Crochet Pattern
With a 2.75 mm crochet and the yarn in yellow OR with a 4.5 mm and yarn in yellow:
- Row 1: ch 4. (4)
- Row 2: starting in the 2nd ch from the hook: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 hdc. (3)
Cut the yarn but leave a long tail for sewing.
Sew the wings to the body. Please see the pictures below to help you with the sewing. The top “shoulder” of the wings should be between Rounds 7 and 8, spaced from each other by about 6 st. The bottom “shoulder” should be between Rounds 5 and 6, spaced from each other by about 9 st.
It is sometimes hard to sew such small pieces. I only sewed the external part of the wings (“shoulder” part) and I added a little bit of glue to the rest of the wing.
The legs (make 2) – Chick – Crochet Pattern
With a 2.75 mm crochet and the yarn in orange OR with a 4.5 mm and yarn in orange:
- Round 1: start 5 sc in a magic ring. (5) – NB: if you work with plush yarn: ch2; make 5 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. (5)
Cut the yarn but leave a long tail for sewing. Insert the yarn in the first sc to close the leg.
Sew the legs to the body over Rounds 2 and 3, spaced by 2 stitches. Note: Just like for the arms, I used some glue. I also placed the right side of the legs against the chick’s body.
The Hair – Chick – Crochet Pattern
- If you use a 2.75 mm crochet hook: Cut 2 strands of orange yarn (about 5.5″/14cm) (using the yarn calling for a US I-9 / 5.5 mm hook in orange).
Insert 2 strands of hair between Rounds 11 and 12, in the center of the head.
Grab the yarn by the middle with your crochet hook, insert both ends into the loop, and tighten it up. Separate each strand of the yan as shown in the picture below and trim it to your desired length. Use some hair gel to shape it.
- If you use a 4.5 mm crochet hook: Cut three strands of orange yarn (about 5.5″/14cm) (using the yarn calling for a US I-9 / 5.5 mm hook in orange).
Insert 3 strands of hair between Rounds 11 and 12, in the center of the head.
